The last two pictures had already won my trust. Now I need to see how this can all work with the newest pictures you have added.
Immediately, Michael, I am taken aback by the dissimilar styles. The almost Japanese painting quality in the 2cd picture is a jolt to the senses after the first one asked my to tone down expectations for detail and beauty. I'm thinking, you set my brain to a simplified haphazard motif ,and then I get dropped into a magic place that's so different and for which I'm in no way prepared. So I'm challenged to feel the pictures are made of the same emotional and esthetic fabrics.
So, for me, at least, I am asking whether the picture style matters. I'm sure that someone must have built a series where the picture bear no immediate DNA in common, but have motif that is more intellectual in nature and not observable by most people without guidance.
At this point, without disclosure of the story to make sense of things, my knowledge of art is not sufficient to myself provide any examples of such a use of extremely varied presentations in a successful series.
