I did some more work on my new painting yesterday and base coated the Christmas gift tags. I am having trouble deciding what colour to do the background of my painting though. Any ideas?
WOW! Your new painting is looking wonderful, Shell. I know I mentioned earlier today that orange might be a good background colour but now I'm thinking red, green or even purple. You could take it into Paintshop Pro and have a play around with background colours.
This painting is beautiful Michelle! I always think of complimentary colours when doing my pieces. i think maybe an orangey colour would go with the boy's t-shirt? Don't know Any colour you choose will look great I'm sure ;-)
Hi! I am Michelle and you will usually find me in my art studio most days. I love to create and have been doing so for the past year.
Art has always been apart of my life in some way and now seems to be my whole life. I hope you like my dolls and art as much as I like making them. If you are interested in placing an order, or making a purchase, please email me. Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog...I would love to hear from you if you would like to leave a comment too.

I am liking the black.... I love the painting!!
I actually really like the black background. It provides the perfect contrast for the gorgeous figures. :)

Your painting is looking lovely!
Thanks Nicola, backgrounds always seem to be the tricky part for me too. I always wan't to find a colour that will really set the whole painting off.
Thanks Val, I like the black too, but I know it is un finished.
Thanks Mum, I was settled on the orange but now I don't know again.
Thanks messy fish :)
Thanks Genie :)
Thanks Annette, I was thinking orange too because of the blue shirt. I guess I can always paint it back to black if it doesn't look good.
Thanks Shashi :)
