May I say it is good because it is a massive mess? With that center with the red coming through there is a sense of majesty to it. Then there is the added value of your description of the rationale behind each step. Including the process as part of the art work, and it gets very interesting at least. I think Sister Wendy would like that, and she is my go to judge of art.

I'm glad that you liked the process and rationale - that's what I liked about my painting. I do think it's a mess, and I do like it because it's a mess.

Who is Sister Wendy?

Sister Wendy is a Catholic nun and art critic who starred in a series of movies about art history. It is wonderfully amusing, as it makes no sense for this little nun to talk about Zeus looking at Hera "like a besotted salmon."
