Three elements and principles I find most interesting are contrast, color, and repetition. I love seeing contrasts in size and color. For example, the contrast of color between the sky and water draw the eye to the large whale vs. the small ship. The sizes of each are emphasized by their contrast. I also love bright, fresh colors. Florals and botanicals in bright colors with a lot of negative space make me feel happy. I like a limited color palette because it makes me feel calm, such as the limited colors in the paintings of the earth, the penguins, and the raindrops. Finally, I am drawn to repetition. I like seeing the same object repeated in a different way, whether it’s a different size, color or shape. Examples: repeated donuts, cake slices, and popsicles in different colors. (Apparently food is a favorite theme of mine.) I like the repeating cacti in various sizes and shapes. And love the repetition (and rhythm) of the repeating raindrops. You can almost hear the rain.
