The triptych that I envisioned for the gym was to have three running figures - one on each panel and this is what it looked like.
But then I photographed them and looked at them on my computer and a chance image appeared on my screen - this:

And I really, really liked it! So now I had a dilemma, keep all three figures or remove the first two. Luckily I had used Golden Open acrylics and I had a bit of time to scrub the first two images off, keeping that final figure.
The client was delighted, phew!

Glad it worked out :)
Thanks Sheila!
Rolina - Your fearlessness worked out beautifully. Congratulations!!!
Thanks Connie, yes I am pleased, especially as a chance happening made it better than I thought it could be!
Hi Rolina, It is strange how people see things differently. I like the first version best as each piece connects to the others. I don't think the final has that connection although I like it as well. Have a good weekend.
Thanks Val, I liked it too and was happy until I saw the single version. Luckily, the client prefers that one too as I offered them the choice.
What's not to like? They are both so creative! I think the finished triptych was a great choice. Lucky client!
Interesting how the final version seems to have more life than the version where you had 3 running figures. The repetition of the figure made the originals more static. Not something I would have predicted. Congratulations that the client agreed.
Great idea! I have to admit, I'm torn, as I love both versions for different reasons. But it all ended just the way you would want!

Thanks Chris, April and Laurie, it has certainly taught me something, every painting does.
Love your choice here, and the lucky circumstance that brought it to fruition!
Thanks Win, I am pleased it worked out so well,too!
