123, the huge dot with the line through it needs a chinese face - like in Disney's Fantasia, the dancing shroom dudes. Psychology of color - black/red = chinese.

231 makes me think of a tibetan monk and the aqua surrounding his head is his aura of prayer. his lower half is to the left of the piece, his head is the red in the aqua...color psych:red and yellow = buddhist to me.

321, looks like a close up of an olive dropping into Jackie Gleason's martini. color psych: um, olives are green with red pimentos.

Now...do you see why I ruminate before I comment??? LOLOL

My preference is for the first, the last is a bit harsh on this old lady's eyes. They all "work" in their own way.

The second is my fav, I like the shades of blue in it as a contrast. I think it gives it a bit more depth,

The first one sort of reminds me of Eric Cartman from South Park ;-)

Hmm, I think 321 is the best of the lot.

The greens in the upper right tie together well with the two bands of green running through the middle of the image. The intermingling of the reds and greens plays on the contrasting colors well and gives the piece a very solid feel. Under this the blue background becomes less prominent, providing a bit of depth. Very good use of form and color.
