Suddenly, Color.


So this happened rather suddenly. Overall, I think I am happy with it. However, I am worried about the color. The interference gold appears a lot more brown than I would like, and I feel like it throws a metaphorical wrench into the cohesiveness of the color scheme. Hopefully that will change when the piece is in the gallery and lit, because I don't know what to do about it, otherwise, aside from maybe paint a transparent yellow over the top, or re-make and re-print the five pieces on which it exists. But I don't have time for that. I'm also worried how this color scheme is going to relate to my other piece. The gold in this piece reads a lot like the bronze in the other, so I was hoping to link them that way. But now I'm not so sure. 

This is probably why I prefer to work with black and white.

gold = daylight, correct?

The only reason to re-tweak it is if you're not satisfied. If YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED -
