I believe that you could possibly create this in a better light. There is nothing here that would dipict the title of the movie. There's no life to this piece and the colors are dull. Even abstract should bring your eyes to the center im sorry this does not do it for me.

I like the way the paint appears to be applied pretty thickly, and the resulting textures which hint at the depth of the original collage

The top section looks reminiscent of Van Gough's Starry Night.

Skillful range of colours with the bright fish - in a fine feminine pink - really standing clear of the darker background.

Interesting abstract, there's a lot to take in here, and a lot of attention to detail. Looks like the camera flash caught a bit of reflection on the upper left swirls, but this doesn't in any way detract from the presentation. Wouldn't mind seeing it a little larger, and a little less background or wall? Good work just the same.
Cheers!

Comment from Heidi


This is a great work and I would be interested to know what your inspiration for this was. The pieces are all interesting individually. The colours are great but appear a bit dark towards the bottom of this piece.

Great color, balance and imagination. Creativity is the quality here, most of all.
I am a realist painter, and abstract is not my strong point, but I appreciate the strength of artistic design, color, balance and placement, in any work.

I think this painting is great and shows a lot of thought and attention to detail, detail I wish I could see on a larger scale. It is very abstract with a lot of meaning in it, well done in holding the viewers eye, well at least mine, Nice Job.

This is a very interesting painting. The composition and colors are beautiful. As one artist to another you might want to change the name, speaking from experience. Excellent painting.

I really do not like this piece at all sorry sorry sorry maybe it is just me though so I would not be too worried about it. I like cubist stuff but it does not even fit there.

This piece has a lot of things going on in it. Very fun to look at and try to view each element as a piece on its own as well as the whole collage. I like all the busy-ness in this piece, and it is very visually interesting. Nice job!
