This card and envelope arrived in November, from Lauren. It was a tiny bit late and her message indicated that she had struggled with inspiration. I can sure identify with that situation. Luckily, she gazed out the window and -voila- there were some fall leaves and that's all she needed to get her mo-jo back. I have no idea if Lauren knows that I have a real *thing* for leaves. These two compositions are so pretty.
They also illustrate two design principles that I like.
Filling up the whole page.
Leaving some white space.
While I frequently talk about my love of white space, I honestly do not prefer it over filling up all the space. The color-field painters are some of my favorites.
And -wow- what a perfect design to go with the Ruth Asawa stamp.
Thanks for the perfect artwork to celebrate 11 years on the blog.
