Thank you. I agree, a limited palette of only three colours can be very effective.

KarinZeller In reply to Aspartam [2008-09-26 20:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Yes, indeed, the fish and the orange circle. It seems to be in a lot of my paintings. What does it mean? Not sure...

By the way, I love that Terry Pratchett quote.

Aspartam In reply to KarinZeller [2008-09-28 10:17:57 +0000 UTC]

I love all Terry Pratchett works . We have almost the complete collection, in english, and some duplicate, in french because the young ones are not that fluent in english, it is rather difficult for them.

Thank you for the kind comment! Funny that you don't see the tree. I guess it's because the negative spaces around it are more interesting than the actual tree.

Wow, beautiful! I really love the softness of this and the lighting of the "leaves" and swirls, giving them a 3-d character.

Thank you, I do love this effect and plan to do more in similar style. Lately I'm interested in Klimt. Plan to study his work a bit more.
