This is my first attempt at a mosaic, which I never finished. It ended up being two different pieces on one board - the consequence of no planning. Actually, I like both, the "Fish in the Water" and the "Bird in the Bush", but they don't work together very good. There are two reasons for this. First, the 'fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants' approach, while creatively satsifying initially, just led to confusion and frustration in the end. From now on, I'll have a plan before I start sticking stuff to wood. The second problem was the water. The blue of the splashing water around the tail of the unfinished fish, was tonally too bright. Your eyes are immediately drawn to what was intended to be background. Therefore, for two good reasons, the project wont work. Thats my opinion and it carries absolutely no weight whatsoever, considering my extensive experience in this artform.
If you agree or disagree, I'd look forward to your comments.
