3. Came up with two paintings - The reason behind doing two is to find out if color selection affects the composition. My goal is to guide a viewer from the top circle to the bottom rectangle.

Prepared sketches using ink and painted in Acrylic. Made the mistake of dripping so thought to add more dripping to fix it. Not a fix, but fun for sure.
