thanks, trav. i tried to keep this simple and painterly. went for less of a mass produced look.

had intended to incorporate some text, and perhaps a bit of patterning, but when i reached this stage in the game, the painting seemed done.

I wouldn't mind seeing this pushed slightly further, maybe a horizontal element in the upper color field? Just a brainstorm.

Peter, the more I look at this painting, the more sense your suggestion makes to me. Not sure if I'll go there, but I do think your brainstorm is a good one.
