Edit #4

Here is a picture of the painting.

The following two images are of the same part of the canvas, but in different lighting conditions. Note how different colors are revealed in stronger lighting.

Edit 3 for M.M.

For this custom abstract knife painting, colors have been adjusted with subtle, translucent glazes and some opaque dry brush technique, keeping the texture true to the original, underlying knife painting.

Here are images of the whole, 24"x48"x1.5" painting. The top of this painting will appear more black in lower light and more of the dark turquoise will be revealed in brighter light:

Here are images of  close-up details:

This shows the glossy sheen of the painting's surface.

Edit 1--Here, I made the composition more like the painting this was inspired by, with varying amounts of color in each part of the canvas. You can also see the variations in color within each area in the close-up images.

This is a picture of the whole abstract knife painting.

This is a picture of the same painting, but in warmer lighting (which shows more turquoise under the black.

Below are close-up photos of the texture and more randomized areas of color.

Turquoise, White, and Black Abstract Knife Painting for M.M

Here are some of the work-in-progress photos of turquoise, white, and black abstract knife painting for M.M.

Here is a view of the 24"x48"x1.5" stretched canvas painting as a whole:

The black is done in a gradient that ranges from dark at the very top to a more translucent black below.

This is the most accurate photo I could get. Colors change quite a bit with varying lighting on this piece. (In the evening, more black shows, as above. In the daylight, more turquoise shows.)

But the painting actually has a a transition area of deeper, medium turquoise colors just below the black area.  In the photo, that area looks like a very dark gray, but it really is a more vibrant, turquoise color. This medium turquoise closely matches the colored glass accessory from your room photos.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist with photos--these show what the painting basically looks like. I just wanted you to know there are more subtle transitions from color to color within the painting that did not all show on the photo and that the medium tones are more vibrant.

Here are some close-up photos:

Knife stokes add texture and blend different colors.

Here is what the sides look like:

This image has the closest match to the light turquoise color.

(Note:  This is still drying. The colors will change, deepening and intensifying.)

October 17th, 3ftx4ft purple painting revisions

Here are images of the painting as a whole, taken in slightly different light. 

The glare/shininess will be greatly reduced during the varnishing stage by applying a satin varnish. This will also unify the sheen of the whole piece. Also, what might look like gray or black in this lighting is actually a dark, muted purple.

Here are images of each of the corners. 

Note that none are white. Each has a light glaze of color. You can see this best in the image where the white edge of the painting shows.

October color change on a custom, 2-part canvas painting:

The following are close-up views. 

Notes on technique:

• I used a bit of texture so that the yellow area on the right hand canvas wouldn't look like a flat shape. 
• I echoed that texture in a small part of the left hand canvas. 
• I blended lighter and medium-value yellows (lighter and darker versions of the same yellow) to give some variety and to make a nice soft transition into adjoining shapes and colors:
