Not sure about this one Jason there is a lot going on but I am not sure about the colour mix.
I will keep looking and see if I get used to it.

I like the idea, colors no so much.

Jason I have looked at this one a few times now and although I don't hate it I am not in love with it, sorry but it just does not float my boat.

I do like the colours of this piece. I know you have made reference to George as the inspiration, but for me this piece just says "George Foweraker" instead of "Jason".
Having seen other pieces of yours, I think you have little reason to make pieces like this one. You could show us how good you are with your own style instead.

I can see the Autumn in the orange and browns and the blending of colours is very well done but the greens get a bit bright which (for me) detracts from the overall effect.
