I prefer the white background because it brings out the brilliant colors of your vegetables, they are so beautiful that they do not need anything else.

My "unprofessional opinion" is that the black background draws your eye to the shadows of the beets and dulls down the painting rather than bringing it to life. The red is too close to the center of interest. I prefer the blue or white and actually the white background to me makes it restful and brings out the highlights on both the beets and carrots. Of course a computer image and the real thing may look entirely differentSherry Josenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861959177651689402.post-30264530115600874142012-03-10T06:23:51.070-05:002012-03-10T06:23:51.070-05:00Thanks for your comments everyone!

I wish I had brought some of the beet greens up a little higher to make a more interesting line back there...<br /> As for the Cobalt Blue Medium, it is by Winsor & Newton and actually is called simply Cobalt Blue, but they also carry a Cobalt Blue Deep, which I don't like because it doesn't seem to mix very well with other colors. So I was just kind of trying to distinguish the two in case someone had both.Susan Avis Murphy, AWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15106867798822891519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861959177651689402.post-12490232296226225822012-03-10T06:15:29.367-05:002012-03-10T06:15:29.367-05:00I love the black background, the contrast is perfe...I love the black background, the contrast is perfect.cecile kirkpatricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861959177651689402.post-71251330446806734542012-03-09T20:16:53.255-05:002012-03-09T20:16:53.255-05:00Beautiful Painting, Susan!
