You still seem to be working with an analagous color scheme - yellow through orange to red. If it were monochromatic, then the red would fade to pink.
However, you have effectively show the brightness and hotness of a solar flare contrasted with the darkness of space. The colors you have chosen are perfect.
Hi Ren - You've done a great job with the solar flare - I'm always intrigued with those like you who have bits of velvet around and make such good use of them. I like your use of value change as well as the stark contrast with the black. And your stitching adds some extra zing and movement. Nice work.
An interesting piece. I like the tail coming off the plane and the thread painting (?) to soften the juncture of each color. Very nice!
I think you have captured this challenge, the piece has a lot of depth. Very nice!
Hi Ren,
I like the firey feel of this piece, and think the quilting adds alot of texture to your work. Very good use of value.
HI Ren...
I too love the NASA stuff. I am currently working on a series of Nebulae. I especially love your shaped edges. Very effective. Good job...

Your thread work on the edges is really nice and goes a long way towards softening your work. Good job!
Hi Ren, very dramatic! Feels hot and firey except for the cooler pink/white center which gives some nice contrast. Great job!
