I am having a difficult time capturing the image of this painting that I am actually contemplating scrapping the whole painting. I know, that's crazy, right? But it is bothering me that no matter where and when I take the photo, she turns out too red. Even though red is better than blue, (literally and figuratively), still, she is just too red for me. I may do something to her to make her stay because I have grown fond of her and her birds.
I hope you are all well. I am so busy, swamped, stretched and stressed at work that my friend told me "If you were dough you would be soft and delicious. " Hahaha! I don't think so. I should not complain. Being busy is very good but I have so many implementation dates, tasks and deadlines that I had to resort to entering every event in my phone calendar, otherwise, I'd forget. Do you know that multitasking actually makes you dumb? I'll explain later. So stay around. Ha!
Here's the finished painting.

I like the balance of red and green but maybe if it's bothering you, it needs a spell with its face to the wall. I do this with my paintings that I'm not entire,y happy with and when I turn them around after not seeing them for a week or so they shout at me what needs doing! I think yours is lovely. :)xx
Ces, you just have beeb too close to your paining and too stressed. She is NOT red, the background has strong red in it and her face is muted and pink and stands out against the turban and red behind. Leave her for a while until you are not seeing red before your eyes due to stress and you will see her in a different light. I love her.
Thanks Jessie. I will try.
Arija, you may be right. Last night I was so tired and exhausted but her face kept bothering me that I ended up fixing it. I need to see what I have done when daylight hits her face.
this is gorgeous! Love the background and texture and color pallet. Don't scrap it, please!

Hey, I can be--am--dumb without multi-tasking. Even without ANY tasking--grin!
Arija commented for me today--but with mucho finer words!
Love your 'girl-in-pink with the birds. She is HOT! (Dare I say "hot pink?"--BIG grin!!!)
Thank you for your visit. Glad you are not working trauma. Get some sleep and rest-time, girl, or you will be IN trauma.
TSUP, Ces Adorio.
Hey, in the days when ladies wore real live birds...was it not fashionable to wear a TON of rouge? Jus' sayin'
OMG! Verify word: "glowing" OMG!!!
No scrapping, ok? Just put it aside for a while (you're busy anyway, right?) . . . and a solution will come to you. Have a good weekend.

Every time I see your thumbnail it makes me happy. I love your life enhancing colours!
NOOOO! No scrapping aloud. She is beautiful, Ces. Set her aside like everyone says. You will feel differently later.
Take a deep breath. Relax. Life is good.

Truly gorgeous!
where oh where did my comment go??? I could have sworn that I left one already... I think I must be loosing it ;) HMMMMM, I think I said something like, she is wonderful, or this is really lovely, anyway, you know I love her.
So beautiful! I love this one Ces
If your having trouble with the photo color temperature - here's a ti p- take the photo to photoshop and then go to image - color balance - in the values, chose midtones and adjust the blues and cyans to compensate the reds. If you don't want to change every tone in the photo, you can duplicate the layer and apply the changes in the first layer, then erase with the eraser tool what you don't like. Argh... I probably didn't explain myself very clearly... my english skills when it comes to technical things, really suck. :S
