I like these, the reflections in the vase in the first one, the tendrils in the background of the second. The colors and light have a festive feeling.

I love both in different ways. Something about the colors in the first make me happy and art doesn't usually do that, so thank you.

You are rolling with that knife.
the first one need some correction with the flowers i would go with orange.
the second what ever is behind the vase and flowers just flat it solid bcz its very messy and confusing with with the flowers.
besides, a beautiful works.

Thank you Lazarus ..
On the first one I would not use orange because the color I have used separates it from the background, but thank you .. if I were to change anything I would sit the flowers back further into the painting because I find them too in your face.

The second one is a old fashion papered wall that is just ablaze with color. I think it works because it is a gradient from light to dark across the whole painting. To me, the flowers do not get lost in it and I don't think it competes but compliments the colors of the flowers and pushes them outward. I guess we all see differently. Interesting to see other thoughts though.

I love the second one! The background really appeals to me, and the way you've echoed the wallpaper patterns in the knife marks for the flowers is just brilliant. I also really enjoy reading your own comments on your work - I learn a lot from those, so thanks to both you & Lazarus for the extra discussion.

I like them both, but the vase in the first one is just rocking it for me. Brilliant job!

I even like the wonky vase in the first one but I love the second one.

Thank you Triss .. always open to discuss other views even if I don't share them .. they may affect me at a later piece.

Thank you Terri .. why'd you put the blinds up

I even like the wonky vase in the first one but I love the second one.

... wonky, just like the creator .. and I guess some people do need a handle

Both are nice Wayne......the colors on the first vase seem so random but it works!

 

[Trier]

#2 is outstanding, beautiful !

#1 has my favorite kind of flowers (generic).

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Perry.
Not random..blu/green dominant dark side and yellow/green dominant on the light side. As pointed out by Sno I lost the vase shape as I got too busy trying to let the red bleed. Next time.

Thanks Trier.
Generic/the new abstract.

not sure which one I like better. Like them both, I like how the green carries through to the background on the bottom painting. I guess the 2nd one is the one I like just a bit better.

Thank you Jane
