      any thoughts on these please?
      I feel so un-confident when it comes to picking colors... 😕

        I like the two on the left, but i'm a fan of purple so they draw my eye 🙂 I think they are all very lovely!

          @audrey-dowling I think I like the first one best only because it makes the colors of the door, chair and her dress "pop" more. I love this piece it is so sweet!!

            I like #4 it's a bit darker around the main characters and I think it makes them pop better. And I think the complementary color of the chair draws my attention where it needs to be.

                Really nice colour comps Audrey. I like 4 the best Because I really like the green chair. I have an idea to make the back door way cool and the light from the lamp warming there faces and that whole area. just a thought because i think the door way is catching my attention a little bit more than needed. I may be wrong. what do you think.0_1461346549710_Audrey 1.jpg

                    I like 4, the darker wall behind them makes them stand out

                      @audrey-dowling I like 4 best too - I like the yellow-green pair. Agree with Lee thought that you may have to tune back the door as attention point.

                        thanks for your comments!
                        it's a very good idea, Lee, I hadn't thought of that. It would give interesting colours on the characters
                        I'll try that and see if I can get to something I'm satisfied with

                          #4 here as well! I know you've worked a lot on this, and I really think it was worth it! Great work!
