    Hi, A. how's my artist friend from the cold Canada? :)
    ok. proportions and disproportions... here's the issue. I see some interesting shadows and some reflections, which are also a good compositional element, the reflection in the water is another reality, (have you seen, Escher's work on this?
    Excellent composition, everything leads to the vanishing point
    Interesting topic about cats and birds, is there a tension, that one is waiting to be broken at anytime!
    Have a good weekend! :)

    Hi R.,

    I am well, how are you? I'm sure that Argentina is nicer than here right now! I see that you have a new avatar. I recognize the characters as being from a vintage comic series that I've seen before; however I can't recall the name of it. I've seen work by Escher, (as I really enjoy visual puns & puzzles) but I'll have to go back and look at his work again. I tried to impart a bit of tension into the piece - depicting commotion intruding on the peace and tranquility of a garden. Have a great weekend! Ciao.

Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
