I really appreciate your comment about tha...Julie,<br /><br />I really appreciate your comment about that second piece. I was really on the fence about it. I have in my mind that being constrained to a rigid grid doesn't make me happy. Yet, my personal tendencies seem to make me want to line things up and even them out. I feel also that nothing is really random so even things that feel edgy or exciting are done on purpose and have order to them. You may be able to guess that I am in a quandary! So, that is why the two different but similar pieces emerged. <br /><br />Your observations are important for me so thank you. I have missed your painting lately. Hope all is going well.<br /><br />Thanks, LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-90053651983327214512016-05-31T22:52:01.785-07:002016-05-31T22:52:01.785-07:00I disagree about the bottom one.

The top half has the verticals pretty well straight, but the bottom half has this wonderful energy with angles and curves to offset the top. I find it far more exciting than I Spy. So I am pleased you did two. juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-60609418788920935932016-05-28T09:48:54.114-07:002016-05-28T09:48:54.114-07:00Carol,

I thought that the minimal amount of details helped to pull things together. It's clear to me that less can be more but finding that break even point isn't always easy for me. But, I really enjoy the challenge.<br /><br />The second piece doesn't thrill me either. It just isn't exactly me. So, I will keep trying things out. We will see:)<br /><br />Thank you for your visit and observations. I appreciate it!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-30002375044849971482016-05-28T08:10:49.882-07:002016-05-28T08:10:49.882-07:00Libby, to my eye, the top piece has more breathing...Libby, to my eye, the top piece has more breathing space and I like it better than the second one as well. I'm also really convinced that those half circles that dot the blue strips at the bottom of Sailing with Ellsworth are really important, not to mention that central circle with the plus sign, which is just brilliant! Just my opinion, going with my gut.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386488617374144819noreply@blogger.com
