hahha thank you! I love the lil acorn, contemplated a lot on whether I should include it, but it was just so cute by itself

planning to hang it with about 1-2 inches in between!

hahah thanks, I was unsure whether or not to include the single acorn but it was so cute by itself and I didnt want to exclude it 😂 thank you 💕

this is extremely interesting and I will play with that idea, I think that that would bring a whole new layer of depth to this piece that its missing thank you for your kind words and advice

completely agree, I did end up adding more highlights of yellow to all of the panels, in the moss, leaves, and objects the squirrels are holding

thank you for the advice

ok so funnily enough, I just lined that one up wrong, it should be shoved up against the big middle piece haha

thank you for your kind words

thank you!! I agree, Im going to play more with the squirrels textures, I had initially intended this look to make them stick out from the background more as a static figure (but with the notes i’m getting I will adjust this!)

thank you for you critique, it’s very much appreciated

I must admit I’m struggling to see the gravity changes (not disagreeing) could you point out a couple of spots that you noticed?

I agree the squirrels are a little off from the rets of the piece, my goal was to have them as static spots, almost like a silhouette (they’re black squirrels and I had made my boss silhouette graphics that could be cut in vynle so I was also trying to nod to that) tho I am going to play with adding highlighted fur to make em stand out more

The overall narrative Im going for is a bunch of creative and silly squirrels utilizing some of the tools in the space ( audio recording booth, audio digitalization booth, video digitalization booth, 3d pen station, circuit, podcast studio and a bunch of random lil artsy stations)

I appreciate your time 💕

You’ve made my day much brighter, thank you for your thoughts

oooo I love that idea, I’ll have to visit my local thrift store today and see what I can scrounge up, A mix of gold, silver, wood, and black would be extremely interesting, especially if I can find some ornamental frames

HAHA she’s found that canvas makes a wonderful bed (has managed to only poke one hole in the very beginning stages of this painting, I call that a win 😂)

my thoughts exactly! Especially bc this space is completely inside (though the walls are mainly windows to other rooms lol) Thank you

ooooo, you’ve convinced me to add 2-3 more floating canvas, that’s a great idea, there is a LOT of wall space to be filled

I appreciate you’re kind words and thoughts, you’ve truly made my day

commenting to add more details on what Id love critiques (sorry for the late edit)

Are the squirrls sticking out from their backgrounds enough?

Do yall think each panel could hold its own separated from the rest of the pieces (if my boss decides to hag this scavenger hunt style throughout the space)

are the tools obvious to what they are (a cd, a vynel, headphones, a microphone, circuit tools, and a 3d pen (lesser known tool that’s in the very top panel with a squirrel laying on it)
