As for my thoughts, I find it helpful to articulate them, so I do this for myself too, not only for my readers.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-19663633348641448062012-06-02T07:39:45.037-04:002012-06-02T07:39:45.037-04:00I really like this one!

The subtle difference and richness of the colors comes through even on a computer - I especially enjoy the green line around the edges of the small shapes on the right. Such crisp, linear elements - and the brighter yellow diagonal at the top (the farthest away and roundest part) stays back, even thought it's a brighter yellow, which should come forward, because its edge is softer and close to the value of the bright blue above. I love it!Amy Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623130181755256260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-73942478449853554642012-06-01T10:43:14.613-04:002012-06-01T10:43:14.613-04:00I think that I was so focused on the image at that...I think that I was so focused on the image at that time, Ravenna, that I didn't think of more abstract issues such as paint quality. <br />and it's great to know that you completed the triangles in your mind.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-25627601205844628622012-06-01T09:01:48.749-04:002012-06-01T09:01:48.749-04:00That's interesting, what you say about paint e...That's interesting, what you say about paint equality. I paint in oils, watercolor and gouache, and I do think of those things - I use the same technique at least some of the time, multiple layers of subtly shifting hue. <br />Also, funny for me when you point out there are no real triangles in this piece - only then I realize how my mind completes the triangle, and carries your composition outside the format.Ravenna Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11870831212657666842noreply@blogger.com
