"Fresh Ideas" (unavailable)
(unavailable)
Have you ever had an idea and failed to write it down? No matter how hard you tried to remember...it was gone forever. This quote is a reminder to write down all of the salient thoughts you want to remember.
Having a center of interest enclosed in a band of space from edge to edge is one of those design decisions that works every time it's tried. (as long as you don't divide the space equally) The white band in this piece is made more interesting by having an erratic edge rather than a straight line. The color showing through the black gesso is another way to "kick it up a notch". Notice also that all of the crisp, solid lines are in the drawing and lettering which is in direct contrast to the edges of the white band. Just something to think about.
Please visit my ebay listing to bid on original art from Dee Day Art Journal Painting a Day.
