ellerAnother postcard, though maybe I'll not send this one out quite yet... I think this will stay on my desk until I've decided what to do with it.
The thing is - I'm happy with the design. Very happy. These kinds of extreme contrasts and psychedelic color choices make art teachers very unhappy (speaking from experience) but are quite characteristic of my style, which is also my way of perceiving the world - so, I like how this looks. It's just that, in hindsight, I should have paid more attention to the placement of the leaves in the background. (It was a very fast drawing I made in the botanical garden in Klein Flottbek that was never supposed to become a "serious" painting.) Basically, with only some tiny adjustments (also when it comes to less squiggly lines), this could be a much stronger composition. So, I'm seriously considering a remake of this one, and if it turns out nicely, it may actually go into print.
