| Bird Series #4 |
I am loving the color combinations of these postcards. When I start I just start without much thought. So my work tends to be very organic....especially the backgrounds. Speaking of backgrounds, I love to do backgrounds. I could do backgrounds until the cows come home or the chickens roost or whatever other idioms might be appropriate. My challenge is always the foreground. Frequently, foregrounds require quite a bit of auditioning before I commit. The models in these postcards did not look right on some backgrounds. So I just kept moving them around until I felt that they fit. The other thing that I like about the subjects is that I did not worry about focal point size. For instance, the bird and the female models are disproportionate. Somehow it works for me.

Works for me too, John! I love them all!
And, I agree about the auditioning.
A perfect term for collage,
where there really are "try-outs"!
I had never thought of that before.
Thank you John! ♥
These are to-die-for! I especially love #3. You're the king of fab backgrounds!
You're hitting your stride with these now! #3 is so successful with the echoes of shapes and colours and it's somehow surreal with a see-through effect so I can't tell which items are right at the front. Excellent.
Oh I love the backgrounds. I love the large size birds. Some pen work might be fun on these.
