You captured the "spirit" that rules our lives I guess. It's about our colors, our "ruelas" ( street ways that are born "by themselves"without any rule),the spanish influence in all the countries except Brazil.<br />It is fantastic...LIANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601253685807150783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-29544650766530463442013-01-16T09:25:43.559-08:002013-01-16T09:25:43.559-08:00Taking what you learned and using it as you head i...Taking what you learned and using it as you head in your own direction is the best use we can make of a class. You have done that wonderfully. Your new piece is joyous and such fun to look at. One wants to linger th ere and see what the little village is like when the people come out.

I agree with Elizabeth about the lower grey building ( I think that's the one she's referring to), it looks too "stand alone" to me compared to the groupings of the others.

And the patchwork background. <br /><br />But I like ALL the pieces in this post. I think you are very brave to venture out of your established style somewhat. It is hard to take that step, to do something different and new, and still feel like you are being true to your vision, your style.

I love how the eye wanders through the last piece, finding little pathways from the bottom to the top - giving the viewer something to do is always more exciting than a straight forward presentation. If you want to be really bold, Terry (!), cut the middle one (the large grey building) up and rearrange the pieces. Try with a photograph first. you're right it is very static, though the top left hand corner is lovely - a place you want to get to!! Very metaphorical! so glad the class was helpful.
