How did they turn out?

In the winter I posted some images of new work from my studio.  Some colors were brighter and I was really wondering how they would develop, what direction they would take? 
I took some photos of the finished pieces a week ago and have the "before" and "afters" below.
(Kind of like a "hidden picture," as I was wrestling with these pieces, I went on a tour of Vigor Industries- a large local shipyard, collecting ideas for a different project, art about the "working waterfront."  There are structures in each of these paintings that I saw on my Vigor tour and rendered, added to contribute to the theme and solve some compositional problem within each piece).
