New work, new backgrounds

Having now completed a set of five new portraits, my tutor suggested that some of the backgrounds needed a tweak.  This involved quite a lot of work and I was initially reluctant.  However, the results show that it was worth it.  The painting of "Mum" has a lighter background, which makes the cyclamen more noticeable.   Peter's background is now blue, which makes him stand out more against it and works well, blue being a complementary colour, so less confrontational than the purple.
