When faced with choosing a color for a background I often think of what color the foreground or subject is & choose the cool complimentary as part of the background to help make the subject move forward if that's the effect I'm striving for. A bit more complicated when your foreground or focal point is a cool color---but that's where you can then play with a warmer cool and cold cool!

Great paintings! Love the pumpkin and the sunflower ones!
I love each of these. I think the pumpkin and plums is my favorite.
beautiful pastels..each one is lovely but I love the blue and rust flowers for colour combination!
They are all very nice. My favorite is the red and orange flowers on the blue background.

I like how you showed us sections to illustrate what you are describing. You do such lovely work!
Oooh, I especially love the colors in the second painting.
My goodness you are a talented artist. I LOVE your choices of color combos that you're sharing. Such a good eye!!! :-)
Truthfully I can say that I am scared of complementary color schemes. I love them, they are beautiful and give a certain pop to your art but for the life of me it takes me forever to get it right. Using just enough or too much...so anyway I envy you your abilities. One day I'll get better at it. I promise. :)
