Juliet & Silver II

Juliet & Silver II
16 x 20 Oil Painting
by Pat Fiorello

I did a version of this still life a few weeks back when I had these lovely Juliet Roses on hand. The background on that one was a lighter white, silvery tone and I was curious to see how it might look with a warmer background, so revisited this subject again.

Below is the original version.  I like them both, but leaning more towards the warmer version. What do you think?  Interesting how changing one element can alter a painting so much. And now I'm thinking- what if I went with a really dark dramatic background??? Every painting spurs lots more possibilities.
