Christmas Card

Comment from ZenTrip


Radiant and colorful with the Seasonal touches - the bundle of cinnamon sticks, the traditional poinsettias, the evergreen and the nuts.

It's been a family tradition as far back as I can remember to have a wooden bowl filled with assorted nuts and a big silver nut cracker and picks sitting near the Christmas tree.

So much wonderful tradition and warm memories of past Christmas decorating you've brought to mind with this creation.

Your mixed media technique is very much admired and someday I hope to be much better and as accomplished as you.

A nice feeling of the Season and a pleasing mood for the senses. It truly speaks of the magic of the season - and says Merry Christmas.

Art is a visual syntax with its own imperatives. Creativity is binder material between artist and art, creativity merge the life's brick with colors, shapes, lines and feelings.
You are songwriter and poet that write poems with lines and colors.
Creative process leads towards feeling of complete unity with the universe, where new units emerge to measure the time, new dimensions unfold and the notion of death loses its meaning..
...A few nice words for a profound artist now before Holidays season.

A lovely collage filled with colors that display not only the purity but also the diversity of the season. Do not really do much on collages to be honest so I could be saying the wrong thing but I feel that although the seams between pictures shouldn't be blatantly obvious they seem a little bit too fuzzy in places

    Thank you so much for your kind review, For some reason the graphic editor wont work [doesn't show up] so I don't know what you put in there. I have to admit the "fuzziness" is intentional and is not caused by the merge. The merge doesn't show up. The "fuzziness' were put in after the collage were finished. I applied filters on parts of the finished collage just to get an effect as seen through an frost covered window. Maybe that is wrong but I liked it the way.
