Red Chair, or Black?

[Brenda Ellis]

Garth,
I know you'll make a brilliant choice and don't need my opinion.
But this may be a question more than an opinion.
In the last photo you posted, the one with the background most 'blue', I was bothered (distracted) by that shape between the man and the flag that the blue color made. It felt too bright and out of place.
I like the first photo you posted at the beginning of this thread, too. I dont think it's necessarily all that important to make a definite distinction between the chair and the wall. I like the colors of red, black and yellow (and white for relief). A fourth color just makes distraction.
That's not really a question is it?
Ok here's the question. Are you going to post this in WIP? (Please please!)

Garth, if you are going to go with red, I promise I won't be mad! It's best to follow your intuition about these things. I do agree that introducing a background with another definite color does complicate things too much. The red looks harmonious and I have a feeling from the judge's reaction that he is partial to it. If you are willing to post this in WIP, it would be fascinating to watch!

Can we go back to the page where Garth was calling us both brilliant?

Linda and Alex: Of course you are both still brilliant!

Brenda and Alex: I should discipline myself to snap progress photo shots from the start. Perhaps you can twist my arm into narrating a WIP demo. Thanks for your sincere interest.

In other news, the Chief Judge has officially communicated to me:

"Garth, the red chair is my choice."

Of course, he has only been provided with the red-wall version; but that completes the consensus on the matter of the chair. Thank you each and all!

Sorry, Linda, that last post of mine really did sound like I had lost my marbles! Thanks for having faith in both of us, Garth. What I meant was, I still think a neutral wall would work, but I like the red wall better than any other strong color.

I'm glad the question of the chair is settled (with consensus). That, at least, was easy!

Hi!

I've come to aid in the arm twisting. *Grab, yank, turn.*
