What a lovely style! It must have taken a while to learn to use watercolor in such an impressionistic manner.

A+++ superfluous +s? I really like your art and how it is evolving. (I assumed it's in sequence.) The reverberating circuits and feedback loops of your complex brain and 200,000+ year old DNA are working. Thanks for the comment on "when I can't reach." It lead me to your art. mine is about being unable to help my son who is sick. Cindy (lover of evolution, chaos theory and complex self-organizing sytems, genetics, etc etc etc... and that bald guy, at least his outfits.

It is hard loving someone who is sick, little moments of relief are so precious.

ooOO sorry for the insult, photoshop my ass, and umm... the scale, are these others as large as the one that's the size of you?! WOW! i really appreciate your work, it's really motivating when you see what some people are still doing out there, i live in a small town where art has just died, i lived in minneapolis for a while and it's much better there... uhh *sighs*
anyway, thanks

This one is 2 feet x almost 3 feet. Most of them are between 4-5 feet. Inkling (the one with me next to it) is the largest I have finished so far.
Your work has a very striking and compelling quality to it. Its great that you have found this place to keep your creative fires burning. Maybe you can try hosting some kind of creative group to meet at your local library, put up fliers for it at Laundromats and coffee shops.

mm as much as i complain, i'm one of those that never gets too involved. busy busy guy ya know? haha not really. but thanks for the idea, i'm putting together a book of poetry, whatever you have read has been revised and i can't believe i've posted some of the things i have as is... haha but that's okay, but in my book i'm using some art pieces of local friends on pages and hopefully i can get them printed cheaply for decent quality. this is a great place to boost your ego a little haha.

This is wonderful, you have a beautiful style. might i ask the medium? because it looks like watercolors, so do you photoshop your paintings?

I am in awe of your personal freedom of expression that shows so much inner beauty, expansive energy and release of powerful emotions.
It shows in the windswept movement from right to left. The woman sits with downcast head supported by her right hand as if the thoughts in her head are the center point of this energy. The right arm seems to be blocking her respiration. And yet the entire piece respirates. This can be seen in the brush strokes in her body that are released through her hair in the same motion that is echoed in the tree itself. The trunk and left arm anchor the earth and parallel each other in an upward angle. This continues in one full motion from the parallel curves of the shoulder and branches to the powerful horizontal movement of leaves and hair. The infinite watery sky resonates and embraces this scene. The ground supports it.
I feel that the figure is in pain and so oblivious to the infinite energies of breath around her and yet she is totally encircled by this energy. Her downward head, reflecting downcast thoughts are in its center. She could be crying into her hand. It reminds me of when I feel sad. My very emotions can block my own mind from the Divine Breath that is around me and through me

Nicely done. I guess, the paper you use easily peeled off, which you can see at certain area, or it's intentionally done. Overall, excellently mixed piece.
