liesel's flower

after my lengthy sabbatical, i have much to catch up with here ... and actually can't and won't catch it all up ... i'll just do some art highlights that i want to be chronicled .... my friend liesel wanted a big pink flower. this is a 2 foot square canvas ..... i wrote some happy things on the background .... and then big pink flower it is! .... i'm guessing i did this in august-ish .... sorry to have kept it from you for so long! ha.  are there any words that pop out at you right when you look at it? i see emma ... and i see one potato two potato .... i think i see the potatos cause i know they are there and think the sentiment is funny in this context .... and emma .... i think i see that because of the hefty negative space under it .... like i left a gap so emma would stand up and be noticed ... but it wasn't intentional ... and i'm not even sure it's what i see first. i'd guess most people would read the top line first .... cause, well, cause it's reading and you start at the top left generally speaking!
so there you go....
i've done a number of these painting where instead of using collage elements in the background i've done this, using my own writing .... i like it ... but it does make me miss the collage bits ....
