finding the "new" in older work...

While working with the primary and secondary colors in most of my making art life I recently re-discovered this piece my Mom has had while moving her to assisted living. Done in the late 60's I simplified the color to primary and black, simplified the design symbolism of the sun, sky and earth to shapes and lines, and my own image to a lively but simplified line drawing.
As artists looking back at our early work we can find/discover these consistencies and nuances in our work over the years and realize more in depth about what structures, motifs and color/line in our work continue to fascinate us...
