Sharon,
I spent the day sketching and pondering the composition. I think that I am heading back to the big hair. It's not worth the grief of combining images.
I wouldn't shy away from giving your opinion. I'm a big boy, I can handle it. You guys are a terrific source of knowledge and I value your input, but in the end I will filter it all out through my own best judgment. And thanks for those very flattering remarks. You're no chopped liver yourself.
And by the way, I checked with my French student on the "cerise" color. "Cherry," she says. I'm looking to go a dark cherry red loosing into the background.
Michele,
I did one of those Photoshop renditions exactly like you have done. However, I think that I'm going to attempt the table with a vase and mass of loose formed and toned flowers. I'll include the single partial frame on the top right, lose the armoire and darken the wall as it goes off to our left. So the flowers, vase and table will be a mostly dark affair against a darker wall. At least that's today's plan. It could change tomorrow. Thanks Michele for going to the trouble, mine didn't look as good as yours.
In going through my images I cropped one down to the following that I like for another day. Probably a 16x20.
