Hey Man,

They all look great! I especially like the first one with the pink. It's really original, kind of has this organic flow to it. Definitely different than the norm. Pretty cool man...

 

[Mel*E*Mel]

Thanks guys.. the pink one is for the wife of the guy i paint the yellow and orange one .. behind it
she wanted girlie .. for i figured flowers and pink are girlie enough ..lol

I'm with Jim. The pink one is awesome. I need to do a pink paint job for my wife as well.

I think the pink paint job was great because it wasn't such a canned design. Don't get me wrong, using paint masks and taking your time laying them out where you want and doing an impecable job as it looks like you always do mel, is a work of art as well. But that pink job really pops because the whole thing is so original, at least to me. Nothing retail about it. I just really liked it's originality and organic flow...

Flawless work, as always. Some real beauties.
