This one is pretty awful I hate it a lot I did it for my french class after reading the Stranger by Camus, and it illustrated the theme I picked pretty well, but ...ugh. It's too concrete and doesn't even look that cool. lame. when i put it up with all my other pieces that i have so far, it's just kind of blah and doesn't flow as well with the others. I don't think it's really a problem with the 'elements' or 'principles' of art, it's just conceptually lame and doesn't fit.
This one I like a lot more. The colors and the whole feel is very different, so I might paint over the previous one that would show more of a "bridge" between the first few and this one. I'm planning on taking this abstract thing further and maybe pushing it more. I want the fish to feel more loose and flowy than they have been. I think the movement idea is going to become more prominent in the next paintings I do, and I think that the rhythm of the fish and their shapes contribute to that.

So yeah...this is my second time commenting since my first time was absolute fail.
I wanted to tell you that this post put me in an oddly happy mood lol. Have fun with your fish Karen :)
Karen, you're weird. I had a completely different reaction. I think that the color scheme in both of them are pretty much the same. Your first piece Is my favorite out of all your concentration pieces so far. I feel like I want more definition in the second painting since there is more in the first. The second piece has very loose and free brush strokes, but I want a little bit more added to the fish. Just enough to not take away from the energy the brush strokes you have created. I don't know if that made sense.
The first one to me although technically it;s is very interesting and good i feel is static, i want more movement because they are fish!!! however i do like the layers you have and how it looks deep and ongoing.
The second is wonderful i love how the brush strokes are strong and overpower the fish, it reminds me of salmon swimming upstream there is such a story and struggle with the movement that makes the painting really nice . great job :)
Hey I really like this new direction youre going too. I think it sorta embodies the idea of fish instead of portraying fish literally like in your other pieces. it’s a great idea and I think it’ll be really impressive to see your ceoncentration as a whole. I don’t know whether you were trying to have the fish fighting through rapids or whether that was just a way to show movement, but I kind of like how I’m not sure and it really works.
The piece on top is definetly another piece like your other ones, and I think it’s a great idea to go over it and show how you got from there to your new piece developmentally.
