Do you think these pics make good painting refrence?

I like this one. Good composition, colors, and space.

I think when replicating it, you can make the oranges brighter. It’ll make them pop against the blues.

I'm glad you asked for opinions on your proposed paintings! I think all the photos you've shared would make for great paintings. In particular, I love the colors in the first photo and the second composition. I think you would do well to consider the following when choosing your references: - What is the overall mood or feeling you want to capture in your painting? - What colors do you want to use? - What type of brushstrokes do you want to employ? For example, if you want to create a painting with a calming atmosphere, then the first photo would be a great choice. I always answer these questions when choosing a picture for my paint by number hobby.
