Wowie Zowie, YES, I can see the similarities, but when you said your style had changed you weren't kidding! This is a whole 'nother style and I love it as much as the first. I really like the notebook torn edge on the left. The kraft paper frame and layers beneath help to make the photo pop. Love all of the open space and the way you've recreated the right border with all of the fun paint spatters. Amazing transition, don't you just love that about this hobby?

gorgeous, love your dark Background paper and your placement and use of brushes
