Acrylics

I'm not sure what I think about any of these paintings. I will definitely change colors in the bottom picture and the second Iris is troublesome to me as well. I was thinking of painting color swatches (larger) to help me decide on large color block areas,say backgrounds, to help decide which way to go. The top Iris picture was painted this summer. I had to get some distance from it ,since it was reminiscent of a watercolor painting I did years past, when I revisited the painting I found I rather liked it.  The trees were painted this fall and are quite unsuccessful , but as with anything I learned from it. Initially I used black marker to define the trunks then I played to my hearts content and well.... I learned.
