I love the effect of movement and space. Mike
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Mike …..Escher deserves the credit for that effect, I merely made a minor modification with the eyes…

absolutely Love this piece!!! Did you also used ink? l/f
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks for the compliment !….No, I didn’t use any ink…one of the reasons that I started doing collages many years ago is that I couldn’t draw very well. The surrealist master M.C. Escher did must of the work here….I only cut 3 paper eyes with scissors and glued them on top of his print.

Fascinating never ending creation, progress and forever watching. Completion! Your art keeps the viewer interested, finding new aspects of thoughts each time, Douglas! Absolutely love it!!! Also enjoying all the fine details and spirals of growth within and without! Excellent work!

LOVE THIS, Douglas!!! I bet Escher is rolling over his grave asking why he had not thought of this.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you.....Sometimes I wonder what departed artists might think of other artist’s interpretations of their iconic works - would they be pleased or horrified ?

Very unusual Douglas....I like the limited palate and great intricate detail. Wendy
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you for the compliment.....even though Escher did most of the work, I just added the eyeballs to see if I could do it.....
