Mango Show Update 2



Here's the latest iteration of the piece.  Painted Wednesday while also watching "Work of Art" on Bravo.  Umami thinks it's really funny that the artist's narrative about his or her work (answering the "what does it mean???" question) on that show seems to be critical to doing well.

Anyway, starting to add in the "mangos" to this piece.  As it stands, the orange curve is too close to the cetnter-bottom of the painting to be a strong composition.  Had planned to add more orange anyway, so will try to adjust composition that way.  Also lost a bit of the value changes, so will need to restate the lights, perhaps emphasizing the large, tree-like "V" on the right and smaller, thinner vertical lines to the left.

Will take another crack at it tonight, but first, need to eat something . . . need strength for the battle ahead!
