For Michael

Comments

Bless you Mia - I am really flattered - and I really do love your minimal drawing - right up my street - have you got any more?

Thanks Michael and Kirstie for your quick response. I just saw that someone posted already 3 works while I was still strugling with my forum thread. I hope this is not going to be a MP. I think I have some more, Michael, I am going to search my earlier cards. Wait and see! :) Mia

I too thought this was one of Michael's! It's beautiful, Mia - so simple yet so classically elegant and it's a very special way to commemorate such a cherished event.

This is so lovely - it reminds me of Picasso's 'Peace' bird. So understated yet powerful.

Thank you ALL so very much for taking the time to post a comment. It was only after watching Michaels works that I looked into my "archive" portfolio and family albums, remembering that in the 60s and 70s I produced similar things. I feel very honoured to be compared to michaels work!! :) Mia

This is the "Birth Announcement Card" I designed when our eldest daughter was born. I dedicate this to Michael because with his beautiful cartoons, he reminded me of this "less is more" technique I used to love (and still do). All comments are very welcome!
