i love simple line drawings like this because they're anything BUT simple. they take restraint and the knowledge of exactly where the lines need to go. beautiful.

really like this one a lot from the simplicity, to the thick to thin line contrasting colors and the connotation.

Justine said...

I like that you implied the theme! Very bold colors, I like it very much.

Simple things are usually easier to explain and understand than complex ones. Simplicity is cosmic, because it places our life on the same scale as all life, of innocent Nature herself, who is all-powerful.Wishing you well

Wow GZ...your style is changing a bit! Perhaps the time off took you in a different direction? I too, love the restraint and simplicity of this piece. The thick line in the foreground is a stroke of brilliance!
And I'm left to wonder, what type of elixer?
