I admit, if I really like a compostion, I'll go back for a do-over to see what happens. The original comp for this was a Xmas card I kept because the arrangement was intriguing. The prominent cross in the foreground anchors or pins everything else down in a way I didn't anticipate. Doing it over taught me something about that and contrast, there isn't as much of that here and it makes a difference. Formal elements and principles have had me under their spell since I started teaching them and the voo-doo just keeps going on. I even started writing a book(let?) about them but I'm a bit pressed for time with the art. Perhaps in another life....or maybe I should quit writing in the blog for awhile!
now you are sounding like me...quitting your blog for awhile. I think this is lovely. Can't you just do both and write the book(let)?
