Complex paintings have multiple shapes and colors. Most paintings have a variety of forms that use abstracted views of plants and flowers in nature.
Lively and vibrant paintings involve a close up view of nature. Shapes overlap to create a shallow space. Placement of pattern and color add detail that represents plant forms.
Shapes and patterns are obviously playing a large part of the painting. These paintings carry pattern to a whole new level. Some will contain more complex landscapes or vibrant colors.
As the style suggests, a painting can be subtle in color, limited to one color or several colors. The shapes may represent more details of a few plants or simply one branch of leaves.
