Hi Holly - I do like the idea of a fresh background, but I do think that there are a few things that distract with what you have done. I like the abstractness, but I agree that the use of almost primary colors take away from your beautiful work on the figure. The tones and values seem to fight. I agree fully with the white - light value on the bottom being too much. I still think the background can work as abstract shapes etc, but not how you are showing it now. I love the figure and the pose.
