Shouting Match

In this painting I am exploring some of the compositional ideas from Sunrise of the Phoenix with a different pallet. I think I put a bit too much paint on it, to be honest. Where Phoenix feels light and dreamy, Shouting feels heavy and tied down. There is a bit too much paint on it, really. I should have stopped early on.

That being said, I do really like the little red guy in the lower right. He’s there mostly to balance the red patches in the upper left, but I love how he seems to be rolling his eyes at the action going on in the rest of the painting.
