Easy as ABC? I think not...

Ello, and welcome to the newest experiment of mine. I assure you that is nothing like any of my pieces seen before...

I'm focusing on extreme contrast, which I hope to have mastered by the time I finish this project. For so long I have been strangled by the fear of color! This year I am breaking free. The one to the left is probably not the finished product.

When I get the courage, I will make it darker.

*sigh, baby steps.

At first I did not like this assignment, the reason being that I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make a masterpiece of my own. I wanted to do something original! Something that forced viewers to think like never before. SOOOO....

my theme (lack of a better term) is: Qualities of Human Nature.

For starters let me say that as a human race we are evil. The more I think about it the more I think it's true... but not the point, I did manage to work in a few positive aspects of our intriguing presence on earth.

It was hard.

The one with a reddish glow represents mischief. I question if this quality makes me scorn... or even smile. If a smile is present, it is a guilty one.

The one with the ice cold, blue tint was my imagination's product of the word curiosity. This one is my favorite of the two, because I don't think I want to add any more to it. The other lacks something that I have yet to realise. Please share your ideas of why that is, I will carefully consider all suggestions and appreciate advice no matter what.

Much Love
