I can see a cute little dog in a partyhat..! Looking over the edge of a table decorated with sparkeling things...
That is one of the things I adore about your paintings A bit fantasy, one of your colourful paintings and viola..! You see quite marvelous things!
Do anyone else see the dog...?

The funny thing is that I can see that picture as well, but the little partypuppy sneaked in from another angle..! Facinating..

My paintings often do that.. strange creatures ambush me in the middle of the night at times. And they try to befuddle my intentions. sometimes they win.

Fantastic fractal creation
You have captured the patterns in divine proportion.

To your earlier comment
"I'm not brilliant with words and it’s nice to hear my pictures in words now and again - although I agree it is hard to describe visual experiences- but it helps me imagine more things"

I believe patterns to be the key to people, how their brains and bodies work and in fact the whole planet and universe. (not math, which I think of as a language)
These patterns can be expressed with different languages; some lend themselves more easily to one language than another.
Here are some of the languages:
Music
Words
Paintings, drawings, photo, all visual art. (I see these as different dialects)
Math
Smell
Touch (lots of dialects here as well)
So you are speaking in a primal language with this piece, it may not translate well into words, but is beautiful in its own language.

Or is the strange man scaring you now?

Well Mr Bunnyfugger! Thank you for the mini informative lecture. You are a well studied man I see! You have some interesting and enlightening perspectives for me here. And you are saying that basically with this painting I achieved the illusion of a fluent communication in the language of "visual art"! That is a very nice thing for you to tell me. I hope I can do it again! (By the way, I did a painting earlier today which might have a good potential to be the answer to your earlier peotic question! Keep it secret... Keep it safe )

You're welcome, and it's a very recent theory to me, it brought together several things I have been reading and thinking about.
Yes you are speaking a particular language, it may as hard to describe in words as the smell of fresh cut grass.
You can do it but it takes a lot longer and is easier and quicker to understand using the right language (smell)

New work? oooohhh I did not see it posted yet, so let me know when you do please.

Reading those comments again... It appears that you'll have to rename it into "myth of creation" or "sea of destiny" I have another idea altogether; for me, this picture represents an emotional state, love or desire, with that red colour sort of pouring over the quieter blue "river" of thoughts, interspersed with these little golden stars like pleasant memories...

amyhooton In reply to SalvamoreMali [2007-03-20 20:25:53 +0000 UTC]

Hmm well I hadn't decided what to call it. I like your idea. The emotion side of it. But for a name! It sings even without a name, so it deserves one that is fitting!

fantastic! looks like a scene from a magical world with such wonderful colors - adorable. i don't know if i'm supposed to, but i see all sorts of the most interesting things in this. i especially like the gold penwork - very daring and effective.

So what do you suppose you see?

rad-ix In reply to amyhooton [2007-03-20 10:16:40 +0000 UTC]

wouldn't you like to know!

anyway, hmmm, but seriously, though, to me there's lots of other-world beings, creatures and scenery.

translating impressions of images into words is always a difficult task - otherwise painting wouldn't exist but i see not so much a creation process as that which has come into being. perhaps it's because i'm reading some ancient legends at the moment (mabinogion) about realms of underworld, earth and faery - and how sleep, death, life, time, legend and myth merge into the one aspect of 'the mother' (?!) - but in this picture i get impressions of oceans, forests, mountains and amongst them magical unearthly beings imperfectly perceptible to the human eye - not altogether of this world - not altogether out of it. but why ask? you painted them!

you know you really shouldn't ask me things like that, i do tend to go on...

amyhooton In reply to rad-ix [2007-03-20 10:43:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh indulge me in my obsession! I ask because I'm fascinated by what comes out from my head to the paper and I'm fascinated by what other people can bring and add to the stories. I don't know where it came from (It definately came into being but not by me?? ) and I wonder what other people see.
Sometimes i think I'm mad, its good to hear that I'm not the only one!

rad-ix In reply to amyhooton [2007-03-20 11:01:13 +0000 UTC]

oh-oh, only true things are fascinating (~ lies are tedious) so maybe the things coming out of your head are from a half-world. perception is after all, a purely subjective experience. what vision do you possess?

amyhooton In reply to rad-ix [2007-03-20 11:18:12 +0000 UTC]

But isn't art an illusion... is illusion true? Oh oh indeed. I don't want to get too philosophical. This is just my highly decorative expressive imagination running wild, we all have our own unique imaginations and mine often plays tricks on me. And because it does I need the reassurance that I'm not the only one who sees it. I'm just playing with art materials after all.

I'm not brilliant with words and its nice to hear my pictures in words now and again - although I agree it is hard to discribe visual experiences- but it helps me imagine more things, so thank you for assisting and bringing your imagination into the discussion.

Awesome... It seems to be the birth of an island ! The idea of a volcanic eruption under the sea is great too. I am agree with zaradei : your purple are marvellous!!

I love it!!! You are doing marvels with purple!! For the name, this picture looks like... Have you read "The Chronicles of Narnia"? looks like the escene in which narnia is created. It looks a lot like a creation escene.. or a volcanic eruption under the sea.

amyhooton In reply to zaradei [2007-03-20 08:50:30 +0000 UTC]

Thats an interesting idea! I see the tallest purple and red shape as a sort of medieval man with armour looking out over a valley or sea with mountains in the background. Not completely sure yet. I was desperately trying to break through my imagination block yesterday and I think this is the best thing I did to that extent. I definately see the volcanic eruption though - bubbling up from the sea...

Yeah its funny isn't it. I think I was just missing.. something. I was ready to paint but couldn't feel comfortable - like my brain wasn't in the right place. So I was trying to work it out on paper - I'll post up the darker one and you can see the opposite of this pretty wee one!
