I tried to create space without denying my love for bold cut shapes. It was successful, but a bit bland. I wish the background wasnt white. White is just so "in your face". If I could change it I might leave the white as the background for the bottom right triange, before the red "river." Behind the red dividing line I would change the background to something darker, maybe brown. 
This was my second attempt at three color. I really like it. It's just really apealing to me. Maybe it's the use of magazine collage. I dont think that it really creates depth, but it is very interesting.
This was my last attempt. I was rushed for time. All I knew is that I wanted to make a knot in a tree trunk with and "ocean" behind it. I made that, but I didnt really like it, so I covered it up. Fourtunatly, this action made a wonderful composition.
What do I like about this, so I can recreate it in a more planned composition? I think it is the simplicity vs. complexity. Most of the page is pure, white, simple, but then your eye gets to look through the white veil into something much more complex. Your eye wants to figure it out. I think that is why it works.
