New Painting
Hey. Here is a new parallelogram shaped painting sort of kind of about rain. Enjoy. Let me know what you think.

I like it...
hey man theres some great painting going on here, and i think its really close from being a solid piece!!
the only thing thats really bugging me are the values in the sky. right now, im stuck in that crazy magenta/hot pink area...the reds surrounding the girl could be a nice second read for focus, but i duno... i like the idea you have with the designed raindrops trailing down, but i think if you really went back in and nailed down a focal point this piece could be tremendous, once again i made a little photoshop cut to show you what i mean about the values
i like to desaturate everything on the computer every once in awhile to see if everything still holds up, and the blurred image on the right i picked up from george - its supposed to be what you'd see if you squint - only without the squinting. its a good little self crit exercise though.
so maybe you can see what i see about the values now.
solutions, maybe you could change the sky into a less grabbing color and just add a couple strokes of a lighter valued color on the girl to key her up (A)? or maybe just doing a light glaze over the whole thing, minus the parts you want to remain the focus as the darkest darks(B)?

forgot to add the value image!
For what's it's worth, I like the sky. Reminds me of the awesome sunsets we get at home. And, by the way, I think this qualifies as modern art.
