SPARK and SECOND SPARK
spark is a piece i did for an exhibition, and really liked the composition, so came back to it later with a different colour scheme, and then again much later with a halftone-paint mix experiment for SECOND SPARK. This piece was a reference for the DEFA one above

Details! super realistic is not my usual, but i thought it was needed for this poster. lots of white space for a bleak, snowy, quiet feel, like Scrooge's life.
