Thank you Adam! This is a style I would like to pursue, but sometimes I can't recreate something, it just comes along! Appreciate you dropping by, and I'm glad you liked it

I know just what you mean. It's hard work trying to follow a style, isn't it? I just go with my gut 90% of the time. Your work is very beautiful technically though, I really enjoy it just from that perspective, and find it inspiring.

I get a lot of fun out of listening to other people interpreting my pics ... recently there was a couple of friends round at my house, and they had a heated discussion about the forms in "Wind 2" ... like, one says, "ahh, you, know, these are ballet dancers, just turn the painting round ...", while the other says: "no, no, NO"! They're obviously giraffes having their heads ripped off by a tornado!" lol

This is wonderful. Ok I really wanted to stop comparing any piece of art to another, but this here looks like the next step in the way, that Kandinsky flattened. Very fresh

Hi Felix, sorry so late in getting back to you...my "notes" have turned into a list! Thank you for your comment...others have mentioned Kandinsky to me in relation to my work...being more of a musician, I had not heard of him, but have taken some time out to look at his work....Perhaps if I added a goat? Thank again.

Personal, playful and surreal. This one reminds me a little of Picasso (or Braque's) collages and of Charles Demuth's abstracts. You really get a good feeling looking at this one.

Jillianelf In reply to msklystron [2008-07-11 04:31:53 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Peggy...felt like dancing myself...of course I know Picasso, but will look at the other's you have mentioned....thank you

msklystron In reply to Jillianelf [2008-07-11 06:44:34 +0000 UTC]

Braque's collages are almost indistinquishable from Picasso's. I can tell most of the time, because, years ago, I spent some pretty insane months memorizing their major works for an art history course at university.:/ Charles Demuth was a lifelong friend of poet William Carlos Williams. Demuth went to a very clean style, but some of his abstracts have floating shapes and a similar playfulness to your last couple of pieces. Here's what wiki has to say about him:

Most people call me Margaret, Marg or Maggie, but Peggy is cute. Do you prefer Jillian to Jill?

How delightfully, joyously upbeat!

(It reminds me of a hip LP album cover, c. 1958, which is happy.)

You're very good at happy...usually just a bit more serenely happy than this, which registers more like on the happyometer.
