I think that your colors not being exactly black makes the piece more dynamic. You should have
more confidence in your work. Your use of line, and getting it that clean and precise is very hard to
do, and you did it very successfully. I think that abstracting is very hard to do for a lot of students, so
it is great that this part was easy for you. Having too many ideas is not a problem. I would encourage
you to get more of those ideas on to a canvas and make more successful work. I remember how
strongly you were keeping foreground, middle-ground and background in mind, and I wish that would
have been more clear in the painting. I did not know your word was breathe but I do think that your
piece really reminds me of going from chaos to calming down, so nicely done!
