Colour Disaster

I started painting the cutouts on the spring wall. As I was about half way and I didn't like the look of it so stopped. I had thought that by adding colour, the cutouts would like better. However, the colour has degraded the whole piece.

Here are two photographs that back up my above statement.

As you can see that the photograph without colour looks much more bolder and better than the one with the colour. I simply just could not carry on painting, therefore I packed up and left.

When revisiting the location, I got the feeling that this is something that you can see in a Nursery and therefore does not work with what I am wanting to achieve. I want the piece to look Urban, rather than 'kiddish' therefore I have decided not to add colour and leave the cutouts as they are. But first, I have got to rip down the cutouts I have painted and make them again.
