I am one day away (I think) from finishing both of these pieces. They are both very exciting and both are embracing the warm and cool palette simultainously employing a complementary color relationship.
The Fibonacci left shift worked. The structural weight has migrated and the painting breathes differently now — the right side of the canvas has become genuinely atmospheric, almost evaporating into the yellow-gold field. The green band is quieter, more integrated. The pink tree verticals are doing exactly the right amount of work: present without insisting. The two structures on the left horizon feel more earned now, less incidental.
