Too simple?

Errr... I made this painting last night and just got it framed today.

I love the painting. I love the frame.

But...

Together, the painting in the frame, me doesn't like!

It's a tree with white leaves. In real life, the canvas doesn't look as bright as it is in the photo. Imagine an old crusty white paper. That's the color of the canvas.

I have a feeling it is the color of the canvas which is sort of creamy. I think if it was slightly brighter, it would be much better looking.

I hope you agree with me! I wanna hear from you. Because I can always make a new painting on a brighter canvas... if such thing exists(!). Hehehe.

Oh, and, you think the painting is too simple?

BTW, here's the vlog of the day since this post was too short(!). In the video I showed where I'm planning to place the painting.

  1. hmmm, that could always be the case.. things look perfect but when they are all put together, you just feel like there's something lack and wrong yet you can't name it at your fingertips..

    1. Perhaps that's what's going on right now. Two 'perfect' things look 'bad' together.

  2. anyway, art is a very subjective and impulsive thing.. maybe put the thing aside, have a sweet dream tonight, wake up tomorrow morning and you may find it beautiful.. :)

    1. Very well said!! I often think and feel that too!

      Let's see if I have a different feeling about the painting tomorrow! :)

      Wait... tomorrow is only less than an hour to go, though! :p

  4. I like the painting, but the frame doesn't do it justice. A simple outline without the gold would look better. You don't want a frame to take away from the painting. If it's on canvas, I'm quite fond of just having it stretched and skipping the frame altogether.

    1. Oh, no, second vote No for the frame. Prob is I can't get rid of the gold. Should I paint white over it? Errr

  5. I like the painting too. Maybe it would look better in a plain black frame? I think that would show off the tree more. Or like Yum List suggested without a frame might work too.
    Anyway, I think it is very nice. :)

    1. Hmmm three votes No for the frame.

      I think I'm going to get a proper framed borderless canvas and make a new painting ;)

    1. It was hard to decide.

      I think I'm going to have to come up with a different more colorful or filling painting

    2. The simplicity is nice. Maybe you can do more of the branches art, and put some words into the branch. ;)

    1. why thank you, Sean. But I think I really should make a new painting just for the frame

  10. we see beauty in different ways..you may find something "slacking" in that painting, but others might appreciate it as it is.

    I cant draw properly, even my stick drawings won't turn good..haha..

  12. I remember my art teacher used to remind us to never leave the background uncolored. Nice neat painting though.
