I really love the way you have combined the colours so that there is no doubt that the inspiration was from 'Senecio'. I enjoy looking at it.

It's a nice background. But then, this is all part of our learning experience I think and it's what makes this whole project so valuable- for us as well as you.

Colours are perfect. I also liked your thinking behind the process, but I am tempted to agree that it may lack focus - eyes maybe? Is it worth having another attempt putting your thoughts/observations into practice? Whatever, you have made a useful discovery.

They are my favourites always. I do like the way you have taken the different shapes in the face and used them in a completely different way in your piece. I have found something wonderful and different in everyone's interpretations which is going to be such an interesting journey going forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-5923894475232337712016-05-31T10:53:41.115+00:002016-05-31T10:53:41.115+00:00I'd love to show someone who didn't know t...I'd love to show someone who didn't know the inspiration for this piece and ask them which art work it reminded them of. In referencing Klee's colour palette and the lines in Senecio you have distilled the image to its basics but very much retained the feel of the original.Linda B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05490436237080230938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-42905066333213520012016-05-31T10:30:45.969+00:002016-05-31T10:30:45.969+00:00When I wrote "the whole is less than the sum ...When I wrote "the whole is less than the sum of its parts", I was referring to my patchwork.

When I look at the individual elements I find them boring, but put together I find I could look at the face for a long while. You have captured the colours perfectly, and I like your composition too, but I see the problems of trying to satisfy two objectives with one piece of work. I have done a very similar thing, and feel rather disappointed in myself.Linda Fnoreply@blogger.com
