Mock Up for New 36 x 36 oil painting?

Repainting old oil paintings on the horizon for 2022. One idea is for a series contrasting realism with abstract painting styles to explore the process of imagination.

Painting Mock-Ups

Working on the concept for a series of Flowery Memories of Childhood with small 5x7 oil on canvas paintings of my family (parents and siblings) set against floral backgrounds. The original concept was to paint the humans with few facial details and in odd skin colors to blend in more artistically with the looser floral backgrounds (once painted). There has been a suggestion, however, that it would be preferable to paint both the individuals and the flowers with more realistic details. More opinions welcome!

Option A: Paint both background and people in realistic colors with facial details included (example Lucy bottom pic)

Option B: Paint backgrounds and people in bolder colors with fewer details (example Lucy 2nd to bottom pic)

These smaller paintings are companion pieces to my bigger 18x24 oil paintings in process (see below)
