Devious Comments
I noticed the red trend also in your work - it never bothered me in the least and I thought of it as something personally you. I try to diversify but keep my style within it all - something to be wary of is noticing a pattern in your work but then feeling obligated to stick with it - sure if you see something red you like and naturally want to capture it, you could go for it and it would be great - but if you see something blue and discard it because it would clash, even though deep down you love it, it becomes a problem. Really, just applying the perspective you see the beauty in to your work makes it yours - and that's what attracts me personally to art as a whole - the ability to express my viewpoint.
Great entry... and because I forgot in my last reply on "Abandoned" - feel free to share the ghost story you've summoned about it, I'd be interested to hear it.
I'll try and pen out my ghost story and show it to you

What isn't art to me does not mean it isn't art to someone.
That's all I'm saying
