A Fractured Look


It is always refreshing to try something different, and this one was fun to do. If you look closely at this painting, you can see the insertion of geometric shapes onto the flower design. The idea was to change color between shapes to create the impression of a somewhat "fractured" look. I like this painting the way it is, but I may decide to make the color distinctions even greater. I'll keep you updated if it gets a facelift!

    I'm beginning to kind of like the fractured look. I'm going to look through
    some of my books and see if I can find some illustrations and instructions.
    Yes, keep me posted if you change this one. I'm going to print it out so I can
    compare in the future.


    Thanks for sending it. Shirley
