I find that I enjoy looking at the original artwork now that I have learned more about it. I have a difficult time liking the abstract since I do not tend to create abstract things often, myself.
Both works follow similar guidelines, so to say. I feel I may have changed the meaning of the original piece altogether. I never understood it and therefore, made it my own. The colors in my reproduction are not as vivid and when looking at the pieces side by side, the flow changes in different places. The rhythm and movement in the original seems to allow the eye through the red line in the middle but in my own, which is a black line, the movement is halted or your eye just goes another way around.
I played around with the idea that if you're going to have inconsistent color, why not go all out? Watercolor was perfect in that it wasn't. Almost none of the "rectangles" have a solid color. It feels more fun and relaxed.
