Ode to McCahon

I have been lucky enough to see some of Colin McCahon's paintings, They are huge, and looking at them online you cant really get a sense of how the interplay of light and dark, gloss and matt, and tonal blending works when you hover in front of them at the gallery. I thought this piece of packaging worked really well as a mini version. For the artist challenge https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/44932/*next-artist-challenge*-colin-mccahon and also tagging for eotb.
