        Painted improvisationally, which is a process I’ve been exploring. This could be turned other ways, too. 20×16, acrylic on stretched canvas. C&c will be appreciated, including comments about composition, color and contrast. Thanks for looking.

            I like the transparent orange bands. They pull your eye ba k to the centre of the piece.

            C & C is A-OK!

                    Thanks. I felt cheery when I painted it. I think magenta on pink is a cheery combination.

                                    Here is the painting in a different orientation. I think this way is more dramatic. What do you think?

                                        This orientation looks a lot better to me.

                                                I made a post and Carly replied to it, but it seems to have gotten lost in the transition to the new site. So, here is what I did to the painting, I changed the upper orange area to black, with some sgrafitto into the black to reveal some orange. I like it better this way. I also changed the name to Magenta-y. Your thoughts? Thanks for looking.

                                                    I got an upload error, so I have resized the image and am trying again.

                                                        Unfortunately, the new site has drastically cropped my image. Does anyone know how to prevent that from happening? The image was less than 300kb. :(

                                                            But if you double click the image then it displays without the cropping. Weird.
