Image 4: Lightened the lower panel discussed in email. Upper middle elements painted dark green, and left upper corner painted the same green as the lower middle green element, with the collage element just under it painted black. The contrast of the black edges draws the eye to the upper left corner rather than the upper middle. For coherence between cream meeting dark green (as the upper middle dark green adjustment achieves), the curved middle right element would also be painted dark green. As with previous edits, the middle and lower right elements are painted black.
Image 5: Lightened lower panel. Upper middle curved element painted the same khaki beige/green with brush strokes over-brushing into those areas to blend (cannot be illustrated within our rendering). Left upper corner painted the same green as the lower middle green element, with the collage element just under it painted black. The contrast of the black edges draws the eye to the upper left corner rather than the upper middle. As with previous edits, the middle and lower right elements are painted black.
Image 6: Same edits as image 5 with the addition of painting the curve, at the middle right, black.
