The round symbol, is that an abstract version of the presidental symbol or do I read too much into it?

Jeff1966 In reply to kzeor [2007-10-15 17:18:20 +0000 UTC]

Reading too much, although I see what you're talking about. All the colors in the background were set down first, with absolutely no idea of what I was going to put on top of it.

Thank you very much Rachel. I knew how I felt when I put the peace sign there, but yeah, talk is cheap pretty much nails it in words. Thanks again.

Oh, now this painting doesn't have anything critical to say, does it. The mixture of colors seems almost independent of the figures outlined in black--it all reminds me of "New Objectivity," actually. Frankly, I'm amazed at how well you can incorporate so many artistic movements into your own creations. Very impressive. And disturbing.

Jeff1966 In reply to faile35 [2007-10-13 13:43:58 +0000 UTC]

OMG! The highest of compliments! You are way too kind to me. Quick, I need some abusive words to even this out!

Thank you very much Jeff. I'm very happy you liked it.

I'll have to look into "New Objectivity", never heard of it. Thanks again.

faile35 In reply to Jeff1966 [2007-10-21 20:20:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes, look into "New Objectivity." It's disturbing on a few subtle levels, and on a few not-so-subtle...

Abusive words: scum, bucket, soapdish, tsetse fly.

You're welcome.

The most I like the pink spots in the middle of all other colors.
It vibrates through differently, really pulls attention away from the actual image and integrity and while digging a little deeper, brings them back! A very expressive work, it's my kinda "groovy".

Wow... the the red spiral behind everything is really pulling me in...
It really adds an amazing amount of depth to the piece...
Great stuff Jeff.
