Colour options

I'm working on a series of paintings (yes, Kym, you know I love a good series!) called 'Collectables' to be submitted to the Toowoomba Grammar Art Show, inspired by the home of a friend who is a true 'Collector'. This small painting is from a pic I took of one of her "Mamie" Cookie Jars that she loves.

I'm spending far too much time on this for the price I put on the painting (once again I've entered with painting names and prices and haven't actually finished the paintings yet - one year it will be different, I'll actually have paintings done before I enter and I'll be VERY happy!) but I'm not happy with my first colour-way, with the purple table (it was done in the very middle of last night), so have photoshopped up a few more options...


I think whatever colour I need to add some 'weight' and shadows to the table, but right now I'm thinking the red version at the bottom left.

What do you think?

    I like the red :-) As soon as I saw it, before I saw what your own preference was, the red stood out for me x

    I was going to say the red, too, before I even read on to see that you would ask for input. This is going to be a wonderful piece.

    Why not do one as a four-grid multiple image (with four different colourways) similar to your photoshopped illustration? It would be Very Warhol! x
