Inside out …

 


Here are my two building paintings. The top one I did in class and finished at home. Even though the blue and green colors are repeated on the couch and pillow, I think it kind of works..I don’t know why. Not crazy about that jaunty angle of the sofa. 

The bottom one, I like the right window and the couch and pillow. I think Im doing another one of these.

    I think that the tree on the right needs to extend so that it doesn’t stop before the window frame.

    I agree with you that the color works on the top one. Expanding that green and blue gives a calm consistency. The angle of the sofa doesn't bother me one bit. I like the idea of reflecting the lamp in the bottom one. Maybe it just needs to be smearier and have a bit of the outside showing through to read more like a reflection. The two windows seem very different. Left seems autumnal and the right feels more like spring/summer. I think this would be great if the windows had a more similar view/value/saturation.

    I like the sofa in the first one. It steals the show from the view out the window. I think you should try a sofa series.

    I gotta say, I find it hard to see the painting without cropping them on each side with my hands. Can't you please honor your work by taking better photos? Honestly, I just automatically did it again to be able to look at each one. I think the first one works well other than that. The second one is much harder to see with the edges crooked and the bottom curled. But I think I find it confusing anyway. The values and the colors seem to hop around and the lamp out the window just doesn't work yet.
