  1. I do like them both but the finshed one, to me anyway, is more charming. Such lovely work, as always :)

  3. You can't have too much color. It's kind of like icing on a cupcake - you can never have enough buttercream! Food for the soul! Beautiful! Hugs, Terri

  4. I like the second one too! The white creates wonderful negative space to let the other colors and shapes sing.

  8. You're brave to work on it some more... the 'second turn around' it became much better (in my opinion) Much more balanced in colour and shape.

    The white shape now moves from one side of canvas to the other. And repeating the circle shape around the already center of attention eye
    just makes it 'feel' right. Wish I could chat painting with you in person.

  14. Ah oh.....i like the first one better......Guess i'm just weird. I love the colors better and everything...the second one IMO has too much white and it lost something....I think you tried too hard to turn it into an owl since you named it...?? Anyway i love all your art so i like the second one too! Do you ever wish you'd just left well enough alone?? I do that some times don't know when to stop. Hugs! deb

  17. I love the beak you ended up with and all the white you added. Very owlish to me. Wonderful change, although, I thought it was beautiful before.
