Ah, yes, this shows the figure MUCH more clearly! It hasn't lost any appeal, but only gained orientation. That's good!
Interesting, though, is how much the mind gets drawn to something it recognizes and then suppresses abstraction. I now have to focus on details to detach myself from the figure. So fascinating! Makes me think that it would be pretty amazing to see an animation of progressions, how your vision starts off with a total deconstruction, total abstraction and then gradually begins to gain form. A journey from the clarity of your abstraction to the clarity of the subject itself. If at the very end it would be almost photo-realism, that might be something mind blowing, too. Hmmm...
Anyway, I LOVE YOUR STYLE!
