Thanks Zohar.

It's OK to be addicted to them. They are relatively free and don't mess up your body

Yowzah...I love texture, and I love to paint. It just oozes. The contrast is what makes this image so cool.

I was browsing DA when I came across this and it just caught my eye.
I've always loved the way paint looked poured onto it's destination.
Lovely.

reminds me of a tom waits song:
"lets put a new coat of pain(t) on this lonesome old town"

funny.. I looked for the exact lyrics now (I admit it - I wanted to copy paste it cause I could'nt remember how you write lonsome.. )
and found out its really "new coat of paint" whereas I always thought it was "new coat of pain"..

Thanks. It's one of my favorite songs by Tom Waits. It used to play that song with my band some years ago.

Here are the lyrics, I just love the last line:

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

All your scribbled lovedreams, are lost or thrown away,
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion so let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin'in your line.

i'm assuming it's latex paint..it's so shiny and THICK. something very erotic about latex paint. I love blue. Not as much as green but blue is beauuutiful. and so is this piece.

Paint is beautiful, such pure colour. Paint is underrated.

winterluna [2005-01-27 10:47:19 +0000 UTC]

the diagonal flow of the paint gives the picture a great esthetic.though there are some light blue points on te blue paint, it is still a beautiful pic.

Thank you for the comment.

The light blue spots are light reflections. This was shot in bright sunlight.

blue and white go so well together I love the contrast and the textures you've been able to get from the way it's lit. Very nice abstract shot!

like it - especially how the paint seems to form a diagonal across the picture. very original
