However, I think you're right about the colours at this stage. The yellow is too flat and lemony, for my taste. I think though that you could redeem it by doing a bokashi over the sky, maybe in orange, just to vary it. Also if you brought some dark blue into the green water it would take away some of the "french mint" quality...<BR/>I hope you can rework it so you are happier.<BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-92192614681144899202007-04-01T11:11:00.000-04:002007-04-01T11:11:00.000-04:00Annie...

I'll be interested in what you decide on...<BR/><BR/>For me the green has a cool, icy feel and the yellow that warm sun sensation.Diane Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847435040149730066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-68831803898321043012007-04-01T01:15:00.000-04:002007-04-01T01:15:00.000-04:00Well I don't find it ugly at all, but it's your vi...Well I don't find it ugly at all, but it's your vision you have to satisfy. ;-]Ellen Shipleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806407695486557068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-89761212463969600992007-03-31T21:07:00.000-04:002007-03-31T21:07:00.000-04:00I too, can certainly relate to not being happy wit...I too, can certainly relate to not being happy with the end result, and I look forward to seeing what you do instead. While the colours jump out at you at first, I do like them. <BR/>As for pyjamas - i can relate there too - I often work in them because it would take too much energy to shower and dress - energy I could put into art-making!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135240564161689792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-28684795723462914292007-03-31T18:46:00.000-04:002007-03-31T18:46:00.000-04:00As an old intaglio (and new relief) type printer, ...As an old intaglio (and new relief) type printer, I can sympathise with your not liking the finished print. Frustrating, but it happens sometimes. And you may be only one who does see it as a failure. A lovely print/image all the same. Thank you for sharing the process.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035509464700280693noreply@blogger.com
