I really enjoyed my first composition, because there is a sort of whimsical feeling to the randomness. It also felt more like an exploration of the elements of the original concept than the other two did, either because it was first or because it had no other focus.

I think my second version was also pretty interesting to think about and to look at. The idea of taking those concepts that I had just played with and really distilling them was pretty interesting, and the result is still evocative of the original concept despite being made of only 8 lines.

The third composition was more difficult for me. Part of this is that I don't naturally tend towards intricacy, but part of it was also that I had just pulled everything down to its bare bones and liked the result, making it difficult to add anything new in without it feeling unnecessary. The result is still fairly evocative of a tree, but more from the top down or from the end of a branch looking in, but I don't think it is quite a successful at communicating the essence.
