In two minds about this one

Ok, I'm not sure where to start with this, but I'm in two minds about the piece I just finished. I'm not sure I'm liking it or if it's working for that matter. It's feels too busy. Maybe the colours are just too bright, I don't know. There are parts of it I'm happy with, but as a whole, it's probably a bit too chaotic. I'm quite disappointed because I did spend quite a bit of time on this with all the detail.

I guess an artist is going to have works that they are just not happy with, it part of the process. Hopefully I will learn from this, move on, and create better art!

Now, time for another painting and to hopefully redeem myself:)
