Description
This is a poster designed for an art exhibition at Gallery 51 in Forsyth Georgia in 2008. Another layer of images was collaged onto an 18” by 24” print of my earlier work called Alice in BlunderLand . I donated this as a door prize awarded at the end of the show.

Amazing creation and work. I love how you have the courage to keep building. I always ruined them when I did that. Love this.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Bunny.....I ruined many creations over the years by overworking them, it is easy to look back later and realize when I glued on the “ piece that broke the camel’s back “. Then I realized that I could take a print or giclee of a work and collage on it instead of the original. That approach worked fairly well on this variation !

Wonderful image, Douglas! Amazing creativity that I could look at and look at and always find something in it that I didn't see before!
Douglas Fromm replied:
I always appreciate your compliments, Laurie.....many years ago I realized that some people enjoy “ finding things “, so I started adding more details. Maximalism, perhaps ?
James Higgins
Awesome work Douglas! Great composition–every element is always in the right place. (That was a very lucky door prize winner.)
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks James.....it turned out better than I had hoped for....I sometimes wonder who won and if they still own it after 13 years !
Michael J Cooper
A favorite song and an excellent representation of that time. Mike
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you, Mike….This work was created in 2008, and I had forgotten where the title words came from. I must have seen an article about the song….

Nice work Douglas. I like the mostly-balanced composition of this image. And the central pair of eyes is great.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks for your insightful observation, Vic…many years ago I read an article about “ Asymmetrical Symmetry “, and realized that I had being using this technique by intuition. Your phrase “ mostly balanced composition “ is a perfectly simple description that will make it easier for me to explain to the very few people that ever comment about my work being “not balanced right “
