The bottom image is a less-than-perfect reproduction of the original cut-paper picture. The top image is something funny I did with it on my computer.
There is nothing like cut paper work. I like working with those flat solid vibrant colors. You have pure color, pure line, and then some texture with layering-on or textured papers--plus as much added detail as you choose with pen and ink or some paint. It is a painstaking medium--or at least tends to that unless you consciously go at it without a preconceived design, I suppose--and yet it is very rewarding.
Question: How much of our reaction to a work of art involves our knowledge or impression of what sort of effort went into the making of the work?
