I appreciate the comments. eli - I totally agree with what you said about Miro. I'm always trying to simplify the piece down to a smaller number of papers (if not details), and that's a challenge in and of itself. These are a certainly quicker in the cutting and gluing stages, but the drawing take a bit longer to get the balance right, and color choices are key. Lucia - thanks for the tag! I'll get to that as soon as I can. I'm charging down a deadline right now, so it might be a bit... Thanks everyone! I appreciate the comments.

You do amazing things minimally and with flourishes - that is pretty impressive! Beautiful work. You do amazing things minimally and with flourishes - that is pretty impressive!

The perfect fusion of orient and occident. Please, go on, I'm curious! I've also tagged you.

The changes in background color really bring a lot of emotion to this. I wouldn't mind seeing more in this vein, it must be quicker to do too? Miro did some simple compositions later in life that I read a critic describe as Miro getting lazy, which was really a dumb thing to write, he spent more time thinking about those pieces and are the most successful to my eye. Anyhow, just my opinion, but then I like all of your work, just this piece especially.

I love the combination of minimalism (simple design, not a lot of "stuff" in the frame) with the exquisite color and the detail work of the branches and ripples. This is gorgeous.
