I do say that this is some dark picture showing all the magical elements being melted into the abyss.

I'm thinking that blob in the center is the one who brought forth the chaos ad end, as it's somewhat on a pedestal, off separate fro the others like certain political leaders. And because of it, the world is MELTING.

Or at least seeming to.

vietkatthroughlense [2006-08-04 19:12:45 +0000 UTC]

as much as i enjoyed the previous works.... this is not the quality that i expected......i don't like the fact that you tried to melt the greyish stuffs and make it drips down like so...it makes the painting lost its 'value'....if you were to paint the melting drops w/ careful strokes ...give it a 3D feel...like those white clouds then i think it might be better....i like the configuration in the back though...looks like a bubles field rising ...or something...lol...i like that white top part where it drips down to droplets...landed on the inside...created an illusion of space...which i like alot!...the transition of dark at the bottom left to the light color at the top right create a sense of downward...or as if...gravitational force......not too surreal there is it? hehe...but yeah...that's what i think..

organized chaos, mass accidental suicide.... not content with the peace of swimming placidly about all day, we push on to the edge, and look deeper, farther, until down we go...
the above comments are right, your work does inspire a lot of interesting thoughts. maybe it would make a good book, your paintings with the stories created by viewers...

sorry I can't offer you the fine story line like scott5353, but his words sound pretty good to me. Hey---maybe you two should do a picture story book on the world you have created here.

So much cool stuff---and the world is going through something dramatic. Fine composition/creativeness and extending the boundaries on this sureal world. I do see all those figures as some sort of living form---like humans/animals/aliens/whatever--- if you know what I mean. Some do give off another appearance to me---like plants etc---but for the most part I see very wierd life forms.

Their world is beginning to lose its underpinnings now.Armed with what i assume as the new found wisdom they received not long ago,they tried to reshape their existence based on fact rather than fancy,and look at the result.Where before it was all built on faith and a wilingness for it to be,logic is destroying their ability to fashion anything remotely close to what they wish to perceive.As a child who fervently believes in an imaginary friend,that play mate is as real as the air or the sky.When they are old enough to reason that these beings cannot really be,they disappear.Gone forever,just a memory tucked away.These poor souls still have a chance.Deny the reason of fact and it all come back.Be as Peter Pan,all you have to do is believe....
