I so enjoy your blog and your wonderful situational art and your fabulous faces!<br /><br /> Mr. Green fingers, nice to see you here. Long time.I so enjoy your writings! I think Kyle is your kind of guy. I can see you two having a beer together. Actually kyle is a plant guy himself and has all kinds of garden friends growing at his house as we speak. (so to speak) LOL!<br /><br /> Eva, Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes there is the idea of "I will do what I want to do" but you can't argue with what feels right and what feels wrong. You can plainly see that the format doesn't work. I would have rather had more space to correct the discrepancy but alas, I didn't leave more space. Although.... maybe if I painted into the margins....Hmmm, I will have to look at that. I would really like to have the bigger space in front as that is what I was going for originally. Thanks for your comment. Cheers, TonyaTonya Vollertsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400831737079985603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693069070043317640.post-14162810640629850102010-07-27T12:20:33.382-05:002010-07-27T12:20:33.382-05:00I love your painting.

I too struggle with the old school training of not dividing the picture plane in half, but why not? In this day and age does it matter? If it the composition works and it creates a wonderful tension then I say leave it if you choose to do so.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693069070043317640.post-3920440256274265372010-07-23T11:14:29.540-05:002010-07-23T11:14:29.540-05:00Wow!
