My mom requested a valentines day style painting, and I love how the flamingos look, but I hate this background. Id love some suggestions on how to change it. That can mean adapting the current background in some way, or completely covering it and doing something new. I have no problem doing that.

Can anyone offer their ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I’m not totally against the repeating hearts or monochrome analogue pallete, but turning down the brightness of the background colors so the flamingos pop up more could be an idea.

    Mixing a color with it’s complimentary desaturates it so you could try mixing those pinks with a tiny bit of green and see if you like the vibe with some swatches.

    Or maybe apply a wash of a very deep purple, ( that almost matches the background)over the hearts. Again, try first on some swatches before comitting to anything. Actually I kind of like this idea more.

    Beautiful rendering on the birds!
