I love pandas too. This is a lovely scene, and I love how the positioning of the two animals leads your eye around the picture. Beautiful work.

How lovely… Also they look like a ying-yang :D… I think you miss something as background , the open space takes the attention off the composition… or is it just me?

I think the background works perfectly the way it is. There is so much going on with the pandas and the incredible work on the detail that a background with more in it would detract from the main subject and make the painting too busy. This is MHO but really, Robbie, I would leave it the way it is. Our diplomas with the LCA taught us a lot, and one of the things I learned was keep it as uncomplicated as possible.

Beautiful work Robert. I would not add background, for me it would take away from the main focus; the Pandas, just confuse the image.

Robert – a beautiful panda painting!
I agree with Chammi, I don’t think you need to add anything to the background, it’s super the way it is with the Panda’s the focal point – a background may distract from them?
