A mesmerizing, complex collage composition that keeps the eye constantly moving! Excellent work, Douglas! Fav/tweet/voted in the Handmade Abstract Collage contest!
Douglas Fromm replied:
Your insightful comment and vote are greatly appreciated !… this work was simultaneously exasperating and fun to create, as I had to keep solving visual problems that I had unintentionally created for myself.

Another glorious Douglas Masterpiece that I have somehow overlooked all these years. Just so Alice in Wonderland-esque....I even see the Tweedle Brother dancing on either side of the Cheshire Cats smile. I love your imagination! BRAVO!

You always come up with the most interesting and fun works. I love how they seem to come alive with that little pop of color. Fabulous work Douglas.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you, Bunny....your insightful comment is quite observant. Originally this work was named Olive Eye because it only had one olive eye. Years later I decided it needed a little more life, and added another eye, lips, and a nose...just a few minutes of cutting and gluing and it came Alive !!....and was accepted into a National Show .

Douglas, love the way the faces come out of the background and the way you build your pieces. Creativity at it's best. Mike
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks Mike.... years ago I learned that many people besides myself like to find images hidden inside other Images, so I began to work small details into certain works as “finishing touches “
