Thank you indeed, Jim! I always much appreciate your comments. I may agree
with your first objection, but - as you surmise- I am not trying to mimic.
Instead, I try to explore new ways in which to express minimalism, in this
case with a reference to a source. The truth is that color may distract from
the concept, however. Hmmm... Have to experiment further I guess.
Your second objection is perfectly true. An earlier version where the
background was dark blue, was better imo. I shall go further in a more
harmonic direction and see what that results in.
