Description


Acrylic on canvas, 45x45cm. This one began life in very tentative fashion a few weeks ago, painted over an abandoned attempt at something else. I've been picking at it here and there ever since, but have reached the stage where I'm really not sure where else to take it without overloading it with detail. So for now, it's sort of finished - on ice! If anyone has any suggestions and/or criticism, please let me know, it's much appreciated indeed :-)

Has a nice feel to it like the warm fuzzies! very nice. I have only one suggestion when I am not sure about it I put it in a special file/wait a week and look at it again/or turn it into B&W and look at the balance/

Like it, brings to mind the works of Rodney Matthews... Find it pleasing as an abstract, but as Matthews is one of my demi-gods... feel there should be more... as if this is the background that is waiting the players so to speak...

Hey there! You didn't tell me this was 'finished'....but maybe I've given you enough of my advice sniggers, even so, I really do think that those top tendrils need extending, maybe into a contrasting hue, otherwise, I do love this so very much big hugs. Great work my friend, wonderful to see you mastering traditional mediums :) Thank you as always for sharing all that you do huge hugs xxx

...well - coming upon it cold - it strikes me as a detail from a larger picture....which, of course it isn't, - but it doesn't give me a feeling of completeness - (though viewing at actual size, and in the flesh - might give a different feel )... hard to say --- but at this size it feels like a promising ground waiting for some future catalyst to make it all coalesce

Fantastic! These vines with the litle buds are cool.They look a bit like some kind of alien eggs... and I love the soft colors!

Ah, when is a work finished? The eternal question! I'm poor at deciding the answer. That's why I spend a whole year making a doll sculpture! If I'm unsure about a work, I do as David does and forget about it for a week or so and return to it afresh. If I'm still not sure, I do some more on it or do something else. As regards "Drop", I was immediately impressed, specially by the left-hand side of the canvas, which seems perfectly finished and beautifully rendered. If anything needs to be done, I would suggest the right side, and then only minor details. Great to see you working on canvas, anyway! I look forward to seeing what you do, if anything :-)

Sorry I'm this late, Jim! I love to see a Synaptic view made with acrylics! And the view is fascinating; beautiful and also thought-provoking. It tells me something about closeness, something about the need to come closer,; something nostalgic too (maybe the colours, tones). You've got some suggestions; I'd like to put my spoon into soup too (do you use that phraze in English? lol) - I'd love to see the left bottom corner emphasized more, somehow I feel that'd make even more power to the movement towards the focal point. But actually I think you'll find the best solution after looking this already splendid painting again after a while. Thanks Jim, for this beauty, and for this moment with exploring the view you created. A great morning start! huge hugs:-)

I enjoy this colour poem, which is far from what you normally show in your gallery.

I love the overall look and colours. Also the contrast between the soft pastel and shape of the right side against the darker blue and angular shape of the tree, and then you have the whispy white branch shapes meeting the angular tree - it's as though this is an expression of duality. Lovely!!

I love it as it is - as always with your work, but often when I've done a piece and dont want to abandon completely, I often turn it on its side, or upside down and look at it again. Very often I see it in a new light and can tell where to go from there. doesnt always work but always worth a look!
