You can create balance with really loud and busy lines too, though. In this case the very straight lines are natural to the flowers. By showing them as straight as possible I bring out the character of the material in an expressionist abstraction. In my next blog post I will use the same flowers to show curved lines. Although those lines are not natural to these flowers, most people would probably feel that curved forms and organic abstractions are more harmonious.nordic lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888022298616927839noreply@blogger.com
