I do not like the background colour but my tutor does and that colour dictates the foreground. I have tried to bleach it out with white and this is obviously the wrong strategy as everything looks chalky now. I need more colour in the foreground and it has to be darker. I hadn't realised Art was an ongoing discussion to achieve a balanced effect: it is a puzzle and a challenge. I may have to step up and introduce a 4th colour.
Elaine thinks this painting has promise so I will persevere. I have to let it settle for a bit, leaving it in a place where it will catch my eye and, hopefully, the solution will unexpectedly emerge.
