First Attempt




I'm not really sure what colours I'd use for the rest of it, especially the bird. I'd like to avoid the steriotypical white dove, but I can't exactly make it black either... Maybe a nice shade of blue... or purple? or yellow?
-------------------------------------
Anyways, for the background, I was going to use several shades of brown in and around the reeds, but I think I need to draw on some red somewhere... to connect the composition with the brick and the red seats. Hm. I could make the swirly-stripey thing through the middle a light shade of red, and then make the top left bubbly thing deep red. That might work... or it might look hideous. I still have to experiment a bit.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I'm also not sure if I should keep that bit of abstracty-ness in the top left corner. It might be cluttering up the composition too much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to use some of the fancy scrollwork that's on the organ, but it was hard to see it on the pictures we took so I'm not sure it looks right (the dark blue).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an attempt to mimic the style of the other banners, I added the swirls, and gave them a sort of double line with bits of white in between the two colours.
