You have achieved it in the second rendering. I still like the first one very much but graying down the background and middle ground and changing some of the foreground shapes was in my humble opinion a better choice. I can learn much from your example!Theresa Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535660965303061775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-60236462408006368842008-08-15T00:13:00.000-07:002008-08-15T00:13:00.000-07:00I'm chanting with the choir: they are both good, b...<I>I'm chanting with the choir: they are both good, but the second version is indeed improved. The more muted background is more appealing and doesn't compete as much with the buildings. I also like the mood of this one - wonderfully eerie. </I>Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594536242955214557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-15903528392408054592008-08-14T20:16:00.000-07:002008-08-14T20:16:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for your feedback, Onpainting.
