a bowl of zen - perhaps
or noticing the moon
when it has moved on
to another part of the world

transitions are a part of life, probably the most important parts in fact. beautiful piece, it feels very soft to me, if that makes sense..

I like the way you think ... and the details are apparent in your abstracts.

I find size matters in detailed abstracts. You have a large surface with many small details ... that gives each color a space to breathe and yet contribute to the *whole* color.
Ideas fascinate me.

Without ideas my world would be a very boring, mundane place to be ...

Of course it would ... but not everyone understands that. In my writing account, this fellow was rolling along, sharing ideas. And he would slide in questions about my age more and more frequently. I never answered that question. What does that matter? He went away.

You know, this morning I don't understand it either...obviously I was up wayyyyy to late...LOL Perhaps I meant that you had a boundary about age not mattering. When sticking to that value or boundary, the other person had the option of going with it or taking off....does that sound right? Yikes...more coffee!

Prejudices, built of fear, slowly lose favor. Race, color, creed ... but I think age is a big one, too. We have to hold on to the delicious bits that make us valuable and distinct individuals so we can savor differences, not fear them.

Oh and one more thing. I like the way the space transitions... The closer circle and appear to be concave and the farther one convex, which makes the space interesting and ambiguous. Also at a glance (squinting) they can appear to form one structure.

This is beautiful. It makes a strong statement and yet it is gentle in terms of line, form and colour and subtle in terms of texture.

Some transitions can be gentle... Maybe this reflects the last stage of transitioning, when a person accepts the change?

I have been looking for a drizzled paint effect for quite a while. Dripped paint like Pollock. You have figured it out somehow. Dark chocolate and some Starbucks on the way.

Yay...I think Pollock is just...well there are no words...I will have to get you the link where a university professor in physics from Oregon who studies fractals in nature actually ran Pollock's work through and found that all those drips and drizzles were in a pattern layers deep. The only painter who actually painted in fractal pattern...now how in the heck did he DO THAT? I mean by dropping paint...the idea of that is mind boggling..Wow! This professor was actually able to disprove a series of works that were found a couple of years ago and tossed off as Pollock's work...by running them through this pattern/algorthim engine. No fractal patterns were found.

I did see a show on this on PBS. That deeply within his human energy and motions were actually fractal patterns. I was totally amazed by that also.

This looks like hope, the positive direction of transition.
It's quite beautiful. I love the color palette and the almost rag-paper texture. The shapes are pleasing as are the wonderful, soft highlights (one of them reminds me of lens flare, which appeals to the photographer in me). I also like the tension(?) of the composition which is a major component of hope and transition for me. Now please forgive the following stupidly literal and mundane association I see here...I also see the rim of a door knob (I'm embarrased to say that out loud) offering the possibility of exit/entry.
Anyway, I love this one, perhaps the best so far.
