Pink Wildflower on White - 4th in the Pop Floral series

[fiziwig]

For me the white background is the ONLY one that works. I much prefer it to the other colors. I could see perhaps a very pale pastel color, but anything bold just makes the flower jealous. The white gives it the character of an Audubon painting or a vintage botanical drawing.

And consider the colors used in clothing, furniture, and carpeting in the 1970's. They looked pretty good then, but they look awful to us now. Colors go out of style. Use white and your work could become timeless classics. Use bright pink and it will become the next velvet Elvis.

(O.K., maybe I'm overstating my case, but hey, I really like the white! )

hahaha... I like the white too! But this IS supposed to be sort of retro Pop art... which means colors. So I have the white for those that like the white.. and other colors for the more vibrant wacky artsy types.... win win all the way around!

This flower, on the white background, is still my all-around favorite of the whole series, but I do agree the colored background is more in keeping with the "pop art" feel of the others. So, for the pop art series: I like the yellow background.
