Another Tangent

Last time I wrote, I was "down on the farm". My direction has changed again, brought about by going through a bunch of my old designs. There was one I did from an ancient mosaic, which I scanned into Photoshop and started playing with. I've been wanting to work with color and shape without being too concerned with what's being represented; the little abstracts from the design were just the ticket. At the same time it's like looking at clouds - sooner or later you're going to see a lamb or a bunny or some other familiar form. In the case of the mosaics I started seeing crosses (maybe it was due to beginning the work around Easter). What do you see?
