This is certainly one of my favorite artist quotes by Pablo Picasso.
Stampotique's Jill Penney seemed to be a perfect fit to sit on top of the Mushroom Forest with Caterpillar and Rabbit in the foreground. Of course I had to bend her little legs.
With all the color inks and pigments I own I always seem to reach for black. Maybe it's the (retired) elementary art teacher in me that is always drawn to black on white paper -- it's that "pop" I would train the kids to say in kindergarten on. When they got to second grade they had to use the term "contrast" -- but "pop" we all liked so much better.
Color balance, and texture variety, and always text (inspired by Paul Klee). So many years working with kids I realized I work the way I teach.
And a little humor doesn't hurt.
My card is simple, but I go for the pop. Hope you enjoy it.
