Christy, thank-you very much for your advice. You made me remember what it was I was excited about in doing this. I always forget my intentions and look at the finished work from a conventional viewpoint. I think I am going to look at Matisse's Le bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life) (image attached), because he concentrated on colour contrasts for the first time, ignoring conventional, life-like compositions in order to work with the power of colour and composition, except I want to concentrate on tonal contrasts and compostion (I think - I never know where my mind will actually take me).
