Spring PIN(spiration) - walks us through Deer in the Forest by Marc Franz, a dynamic composition in geometry along with a vibrant palette !
And as my eye wanders through this riot of colors and clash of orthogonal and curvilinear forms, trying to decipher where the animals emerge and merge with the landscape, I am feeling so lost! What is the subject - the animals or the landscape ? Which color should I pick to dominate my design, and which ones should play a supporting role?
