New abstract opinions please

I am new to this forum. This is a new abstract I have just completed. I would like to hear any opinions you may have. Thank you. Oops! It's done in oil and the name of it is "What goes around comes around".

I like the colours, and you have great technical skill, but to me, the picture doesnt flow very well, as the blue is so much stronger than the dark green colours.

With the predominate blue, it pulls the eyes to the left. Basically just a little bit off balance..

I would suggest adding a little lighter color or blue to the right side to aid in regaining center focal point.

Needs some values adjusted. The colors you are using are mid to dark in value and they aren't showing up too well. The movement of the forms is good though. Try adding some lighter valued colors and see if that doesn't wake it up.

i agree with mike..blue is a bit bright...i like the twisting effect..maybe something to look at to the right would be cool

Maybe rotate your painting 9O degrees for a different perspective. the landscape view might give it a more interesting appearance... JMO..

Thank you everyone, as much as I like this painting, there was something that just didn't sit right with me, if you know what I mean and it was the blue, which I will work on. I did turn it to a landscape view, now I don't know what I want, ha,ha. I appreciate your comments and help.Thanks again!
