Cindy, Richard,

Thank you for your replies they were quite helpful.

Richard, sir, it is not simple minded of you at all. But its me that wants to push things as far as they can go and beyond if i can in order to reach a simple execution. Sometimes along the way I overthink it as long as I learn from it, it's ok.

Cindy, you're thinking Klimt? Yes I'm a fan ...
& that would be expensive, and what I wish to do would pretty much upset quite a few bank gaurds.

When I chose white red yellow and blue I had color theory in mind... Light...

I think I missed something and I'll be going back to find a much simpler way than the one i took on this one...Thanks to all of you, now I know where I went wrong.

Successful Example

Hi -

I like the idea. Here is a link to one that seems to work, probably because the background colors are grayed down a bit: http://www.high.org/Art/Permanent-Co...eptName=Modern and Contemporary Art&objNum=2010.8&pageNumber=1
