Midterm Crit

I had my Midterm critique about two weeks ago and overall it went very well. People were interested in my work and had a lot to say about it, and even got into argument with each-other about it completely independent of me, which is always a good sign. People were interested in the narrative and concepts of the paintings but saw chances for improvement in the way I go about painting them, specifically the way I use color. Unfortunately there was less consensus about what I should actually do with the color, some wanting it to be more balanced and naturalistic, while others, like Roger and our TA Michael, said I should push my color to uncomfortable extremes. Right now I'm inclined to pursue more intense color, knowing that I can always step back if it becomes to much.
