Circle Series #6 by Linda Benton McCloskey
Sorry I haven't posted for awhile - life just keeps getting in the way. Above is one of my newer abstract (or non-objective) paintings. It's quite large - 40 x 30 and on stretched canvas. After posting it on my website and after looking at it for a few days, I thought it needed to be changed. Below is the newer version. I added more black to the left side to balance the darkness on the top and right. Then I added rose madder to the bottom left since I thought it appeared too orange. I also added some white and yellow to that same area to break up that corner. I'm liking the changes. Do you think I helped it or hurt it? Thanks.

I think your changes softened the overall look of the painting--I like it--I really like reading your thought process and being able to compare the differences in the paintings.
Thank you for posting both images, before and after. Yes the changes do add depth and more interest to your painting. I like it.
