This is a wonderful patchwork, amazing in color range and wonderfully composed , your layer technique is stunning, you created a modern style piece of art, super abstract , fantastic in luminosity and color saturation, a happy energy but also kind like chaos mixtures and feels like a puzzle game where the pieces are not ye at their right spaces but all is there , great job, all the best for the contest

Comment from FBI GUY


The mix of colors and shapes represent the mixed emotion and circumstances of raising children. The combination of shapes represents the many personalities of the children we raise. But mixture of the colors within the frame work confines the confusion with stability of parenthood.

Wow! Love your choice of colors. So rich and bright. The blue really makes the colors pop. Great design and patterns. I like the patterns within patterns. Very beautiful piece!

Comment from OLIVER23


This one is easy to like. There are so many rich, intense colors of varied hues, well balanced with heavier reds sprinkled throughout to tie it together, but giving it a heavier feeling more of winter than spring. Nice contrasts, particularly with the blackened gestures inside the elements... gives it lifelike quality. It reminds me of a jigsaw puzzle where none of the pieces fit together... sounds like a good represenation of parenthood to me.

    Exactly, parenthood is always oxymoronic! Contradictions, and conflicts united.

    yes, got to be a paradoxical state... so thatīs probably why paradoxical techniques work so well, e.g. Jay Haley, Salvador Minuchin, or Milton Erickson?
