Hey yeah, me too. I am really drawn to this style. And that you like it too makes me really want to get goign on it. Why? I don't know, there is energy in numbers I guess, resonating on a style makes the style seem more worthy of exploration. For years I wanted to do something along these lines, but my art work never really got to this, did portraits and watercolor but not silhouettes. They fascinate me...shadowlike...but I want to take them out of their traditional context, which is almost TOO straight forward, and use them to communicate a mystery feeling, as I think the shadows lend to that. And I think its the active background that adds that missing piece, that added compliment. I like how she had these land features just floating. She had many different kinds and many different combination of people doing different things, different props, all 18th century-esk.
