Though the area behind the furthest posts could be pushed back a little colourwise- but, hey, who am I to say !<BR/>Nice one.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045812978614550446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-35203501932323739492009-04-08T11:24:00.000+01:002009-04-08T11:24:00.000+01:00High praise, Don.

The vermilion is one of those reds I simply can't see properly and so am uncomfortable with it. And, oh, let's face it, I'm not an exuberant person!<BR/><BR/>April -- It's always difficult to tell with photographs, of course, but I think the areas to left and right will benefit from having less obvious marks broken colour. That way they'd set off the busier areas in the wall, rocks and trees. Anyway, I'll definitely be doing more work on it.harry bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853116370799042788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-39251216100236451732009-04-05T16:11:00.000+01:002009-04-05T16:11:00.000+01:00I like the busy-ness of it Harry from close up and...I like the busy-ness of it Harry from close up and afar.

The earlier version wins! I think, as I get older, that I yearn more for exuberance than subtlety...<BR/><BR/>I don't find the earlier version too busy, but that could be because it's early!<BR/><BR/>Chris :-))Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706699071854026724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-37126796214680585142009-04-04T11:14:00.000+01:002009-04-04T11:14:00.000+01:00I have a huge store of photographs and drawings of...I have a huge store of photographs and drawings of trees, stumps and roots which might benefit from this kind of approach.
