So much fun to see this work. So well done!
I wonder if you've made paintings that weren't pleasing. "Every poem is a battle against style." That was (is) my own mantra, reminding me not to repeat my last success, but to be true to the new subject. I'm not writing much anymore, but I think the intention applies in other media (for me, at least).
I go on about this, sorry. I have trouble getting small, and I have to be small to do anything new.
