        I have updated with piece, but cannot find the original. It is oil pastel over acrylic, on canvas. 750mm x 750mm.

        Top right corner, in original state. Reds and orange tones not final. Still pondering bottom left corner.

        Lovely intricate composition.
        Have a look at the greyscale copy and notice your dark values could be increased.

            Thanks for the advice Christel. A constant challenge for me.

                    Thanks Terri. I am trying to step into a new colour sphere.

                            Thank you Sarah. A few spots still bother me – top right corner, too simplify or not, that is the question ATM

                                Thanks Terri, I really appreciate your comments.

                                I thought I had responded to you previously. Not showing up.:o

                                    After studying it for a bit longer, I think the top right and bottom left corners could be covered with red. I do think they may be too busy to be at the edge, they distract my eye from the rest of it. If they were deep red, they’d contrast nicely with that lush, bright, cool blue in the middle and the lack of detail in those corners would hold one’s eye more in the centre.

                                    There is something else which I thought I would mention, just in case. I see a very distinct penis. Testicles at the top, head at the bottom right. I had assumed it was intentional and I like it, but if a phallic work was not your intention, you might wish to rework it.

                                    If it is your intention, ignore my comment and carry on! :thumbsup:

                                        Thanks for both comments Sarah. I was coming to the same decision but wasn’t sure of the best colour option. The second is a bit of a surprise … will have to go and look carefully.
