Maybe using softer colors is another possible approach.<br /><br />Good suggestion on the skyline. I like having ideas in my back pocket:)<br /><br />Thanks for the visit. Hope you are well:)<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-91539396371088814672016-06-08T10:23:10.972-07:002016-06-08T10:23:10.972-07:00Definitely an urban feel.

I guess it is important to continually feel your way around subject matter and style-what kind of a feeling do you want to convey and how do you do that? Always trying to figure things out.<br /><br />Hope your Monday is off to a good start.

Good thing because it proved to be a good design move. You never know. And the brushstrokes you see are caused by an addition of acrylic medium to the paint. I originally intended it as a way to extend the paint but it also works nicely to add translucency, hence the brushstrokes and texture. Again, happy accidents.<br /><br />Thank you as always for the visit and observations. I appreciate it.<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-9540503787108097452016-06-06T06:28:26.777-07:002016-06-06T06:28:26.777-07:00Dear Libby there is a more serious feel to this pi...Dear Libby there is a more serious feel to this piece. The angles keep my eye moving. Strong feel of structure which makes the title very appropriate. Hope you are having a great creative day. When you mentioned cropping certain pieces it makes great sense. It really does make something appear quite different.

I also really like that I can see some brush marks in the blue and black, as this adds another dimension for me.

That orange and the green strip were my attempts at adding something unexpected. <br /><br />I have some cropped compositions planned for this week. Feels like I can't work fast enough! We will see what happens:)<br /><br />Thank you as always for your visit and comments!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-32095661689326497242016-06-05T21:27:39.947-07:002016-06-05T21:27:39.947-07:00This is dynamic - really strong design and the ora...This is dynamic - really strong design and the orange is a brilliant addition.<br />I think you made some great choices here, Libby.<br />Cant wait to see what else you share with us.<br />Happy to hear you are back in the flow.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.com
