Deconstructing or cropping a mixed media painting, abstract painting by Chris Hobel

I  posted the steps to making this painting in a slide show on an earlier blog
Lots of layers, acrylic paint, pencils,pastels.... good fun but it got a bit busy so Ive given it the chop

After looking at it for a while I decided to either reassemble it into a collage or just select bits I liked to make smaller paintings

 I like this one above

and this one above also.... I think its the  PINK
Which ones do you prefer?

Another from my Tuscan series, these buildings are so inspiring to paint conjuring up imaginative stories of times past back beyond comprehension. This is the photo I took to create the painting from, the light was very soft.
