"more swish"

I got some feed back on those last 3 images from a good design friend, and the advice i got back was "I like the swish"

It might sound unhelpful, but i actually fully agreed and find it quite useful for deciding how to finish this. Essentially she was referring to the way it almost looks like abstract water movement/patterns.

So i wanted the final to reflect a sense of fluid movement. Which i think cuts out the more dotted image. I was then looking at the other two, and i felt that while i like them, there are perhaps too many small lines, and it still doesn't quite look like painted lines.

So what i did was increase the size of the ellipses for a couple of the colours and then reduced their opacity. This results in bigger strokes, that blend into each other more, thus resulting in a more painted look.

Here is the result of tests:
