Playing with Colors

Wonky Kansas Star

Yesterday I was playing with a wonky Kansas Star and I produced this pattern.

I wasn't totally satisfied with the colors; so today I thought I'd explore the colors a little more.

What if I make the red lighter and the golds yellower?

I prefer these colors. I'm not saying they're better. I'm saying they are more my kind of colors.

I wonder if too much is happening all at once in this pattern.

What if I add some dark red into the diamond shapes between the circles?

I like this. It has structure and a focus.

This is an earlier version from yesterday with very different colors.

What if I try changing colors starting with this?

What if I get rid of all the background white?

What if I make the diamond shapes between the circles light green?

What if I use light violets for the background?

What if I tone down the blue and add more green?

What if I change the background to dark purples?

I think this is quite dramatic.
