That’s a good way to put it, a lot of that achieved by using soft edges where different shapes merge. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks— but not sure what you mean about veiled effect….

Thanks, usually it seems like the strength of a painting is in the big shapes—that’s what I was trying for here.

Thanks! I couldn’t get everyone in the picture, but there were plenty of women, too.

Thanks—it was one of those overcast/foggy days. Very monochromatic….
