Description Cezanne once said "I will astonish Paris with an Apple!" I'm almost certain I will do NO such
thing with a Veil made into a Shrine of Stone. Dreams are what they are, and one thing begins to
merge into another. If you look carefully enough, you will find someone meditating, a little boy riding on his
mother's back while dropping stones, a nebulous couple and other things currently undiscovered. I do NOT intend
to make comments ~ especially negative ones ~ on any race, set of beliefs or religion. I'm not that kind of
President Elect. If anyone takes offense, please, please let me know, and this SUBMIT will be removed immediately,
no questions asked. THANKS For FAVing and COMMENTing and SUPPORT in general...I send out a hug to the world. RCG

How would we find any offense in this sumptuous "caramel" palette?
Alas! I must say that I don't distinguish neither little boy nor his mother...I just enjoy the whole work!

When I darkened the rocks around the boy on his mother's back, he sort of
blends in with the whole lower left. Keep looking. His mom is wearing a burqa, as are
several others, hidden fairly well, I admit. THANK YOU KINDLY!!! richard

Aahhh, yes....I described that as a Fledgling Bird or a Bird-Like Tortoise!
I really didn't develop that too much, nor the snake below. Didn't want to get too
negative on this one.....

Please, as an artist, don't feel you should cave to pressure from any dingbats out there who might be mean spirited enough to complain. You have artistic license and this is another great piece by you.

In it I see subjects and objects that you may not have intended.

I see a Native American/Inca type headdress. The eye speaks of mystery in things behind other things. It also looks quite enticing, as though there is something worth journeying into behind that stone feather crown/mask.

An outstretched palm I see, a stylized figure reminiscent of the very first ancient Greek statuary, thorny branches, a skeletal smile, a sun, cascade of long masks, reflections,reflections reflections and a leaping lizard.

At the very least.

Do not take this amazing piece down. It's fantabulous.

SOMETIMES I thinking I'm talking to THAT ONE PERSON out there.
And I suppose, deep in my heart, I would hate to offend THAT ONE PERSON.
I appreciate your lovely comments....I do NOT have hate, prejudice or racism
in my heart or mind. My parents taught me that. It's so sad that half the
voting population in the USA, seemingly did NOT have parents that taught
them that....
Kind regards: Richard ( AND THANKS so much!)
