You know what y'all have said I thought myself.&nbsp; But I have a friend
that kept saying "Don't you TOUCH that background!"<br>
Over and over.&nbsp; I wanted to tone it down and now that you all have said
that, I'm gonna do it, first chance I get!<br>
<br>
I knew you'd come through for me!<br>

THANKS!<br>

        <div>Hi Cecilia</div>
        <div>&nbsp;</div>
        <div>I am not sure what the problem is - sometimes the greatest
paintings just sit there because the rightful owner has not come along
yet.</div>
        <div>On the other hand, there seems to be a competition for
focal point in this painting:&nbsp; the largest flower against the dark
background is one, and then the light bud against the dark background
appears to be another.&nbsp; Also there is a lot of that dark background in
the upper part with not too much interest.&nbsp; Everything seems
concentrated down into the bottom part of the painting as though it is
a bit squished.</div>
        <div>Each of the individual elements, the quality and treatment
of the flowers and the bud are very lovely, as is the treatment of the
background.&nbsp; Reconfiguring it may help it a lot.&nbsp; Hope this helps.&nbsp;
