This painting is a good example of how I like a balance between entropy (let the ink and color takes is course) and control. Adding the little figure at the top left of the painting forces the viewer to see it as a landscape and creates a scale for the piece of land that the little figure is walking on. This can be good or bad depending on the viewer. Some viewers might prefer the freedom of a more abstract image (I don’t believe in true abstraction.). My narrative additions might help some see the painting in a way they can make more sense of and might feel limiting to others.
