Can I ask your opinion?

I'm working on the new section of my Etsy I mentioned and this is one of my paintings in progress

I used this stuff that you white out what you want white then paint over it...the problem is with a quote this long I think it has to be on there too long and the writing is too small for it to come off quite right. I like the background....but I think to have such a solid painted background the writing may just look kind of broken like this. So be honest, do I need to find a new technique for this one or do you think it looks intentional? I'm torn between thinking it kind of looks like stars and just thinking it looks unfinished. For comparison, here's one with a shorter quote that looks how it should.

can you re-type your question? I can't read it bc of the scrolling thing w the pics (I know it such a PITA to do that, sorry)

Ok, I personally like it a lot more with the shorter quote. I can see why you think it could look like stars but it just looks too much like a child fingerpainted it. I think it is beautiful, but to answer your question, shorter is better.

I think they're beautiful. I love the backgrounds. Could you just touch up the blue one with a white paint pen?

I really like both pictures as they are. I personally wouldn't be changing or fixing them!

Ok, I think I'm going to have to find a new way to do the longer quote, thanks ladies! I'm sure I can still find a loss mamma to take this one, don't worry... I won't toss it. :-)

I think the backgrounds are very cool for both. I like each color palette and the blending you do.

And I might be of contradictory opinion, but I actually prefer the blue/longer piece because to me, the warmer colors' quote and presentation seem more cookie-cutter. There's more originality in the blue one to me. And I like the lettering as it turned out. It makes it feel original and unique because of the imperfections.

I actually love both.
