The theme of stretch prompted me to stretch back to simplicity. Many of my previous works were feeling overworked and too busy. I needed less, but to make less into more. This piece is simple and was a good exercise for me in KISS.

Fabulous Mandi...while the visual illusion is one of simplicity, it certainly is not simple!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Mandi!
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning in its simplicity. Sometimes it's hard to step back & keep it simple. What a wonderful stretch!
ReplyDeleteDarn it! I want to see this close up so much ... but I can't get it to enlarge. It's wonderful, Mandi. Love that beautiful dyed silk!!!
ReplyDeleteI see the stretch in the background stripes too. VEry nice.
ReplyDeleteKISS is a good principle to remember. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteElegant and Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look simple at all. It's elegant, peaceful and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDitto for me. KISS this time and I think your piece is sublime.
ReplyDelete... as summer stretches into Autumn - I like everything about this.
