How abstract is *too* abstract? Or, depending upon your point of view, can there ever be such a thing as *too* abstract anyway?
Just to reassure you, I'm not asking this for theoretical reasons, like some medieval cleric wondering about the number of angels he could fit onto the head of a pin. No, there's a practical purpose.
The thing is, I'm enjoying creating inspirational poscards at the moment, and people seem to like them. So far so good. But like the rest of us, I've been used to pin-sharp natural photographic scenes as a backdrop to such things, (I'm thinking about majestic mountains with the word "Courage" emblazoned at the bottom, etc.)
So part of me feels constrained by this. The other feels it's high time that inspirational images came in all shapes, and specifically, softer, more feminine, and maybe more abstract choices. Hence my dilemma.
I have no answer to the question posed in the title of this post...
