Victoria- Inspiration week of 8/18

I chose this as my inspirational design for this week because of it's complexity. This design is so bright and colorful that it draws your eyes in, but then as you look more you see all the exquisite detail in the tail of the phenix. I love the movement quality in this piece, between the shape of the bird's body, the curvilinear aspects of the tail and the clouds and sun behind it, you never stop moving your eyes around the entire piece. This sort ofdesign inspires me to try and create something so intricate in my water designs because water is all about movement as well.
