PPF--week 9

Last week I posted three of my CD cover ideas

that I am doing for a client.

The gospel CD idea, by the client,

was to be an angel on a hymnal page. 

So I painted it, got your wonderful input,

got my instructors input, studied on it,

painted several more pieces, and this week came up with this.

This one is slightly different...

This time I started painting on paper the size of the CD,

4.75 by 4.75 inches.

First I tried making the halo transparent

and the background just a watermark.

It was still too much clutter, so I decided to

just have the hymnal page on her face.

The halo looked best gold, as I tried it just about every color.

I also tried the background almost every color,

but I really like the purple.

I was going to show you every one of my attempts,

but there were a lot of them, and most of them looked terrible.

Another thing I changed was,

I tilted her head.

My instructor noticed right away that she looked too much

like a keyhole before.

So what do you think?

Better?  Worse?  Wasting my time?  :)

I am still working on making the other two covers better also,

but blogger would not let me download those pics tonight.

So maybe next week.

In the meantime, go enjoy the other

Paint Party Friday art works and

don't forget to...

Savor the Day!
