Not So Simple

If you are not seeing this with a green background, you need to click on the title: Not So Simple

When I look at painting similar to mine, I think they look easy to create.  However, when I get the brush, paint, and canvas together, I find out that it isn't simple for me.  I worked for a while on this piece, and it just didn't look right so I covered it with gray paint and started again.  Unfortunately, I do not have a photograph of my first attempt.  A bit of the original is still showing but, oh, so faintly.  The second pic here has more design on it than the first, but because I'm building the layers slowly, the difference is very slight.  I'm sure that I'll add at least five more layers and perhaps more than that.

Below are some 4x4 colleges I did some time back.  They were fun and I think I'll do some more. Can you tell what I photocopied to make the red one?  

One additional piece that is 16x20.  Not sure where this is going but the journey should be fun!

I welcome your comments and suggestions.
