Beautiful work...

great!!!

Stunning work!!

The marks are like great palette-knife sweeps, and the final impression is of frost on glass, or maybe a dangerously shiny floor in a corporate building! Quite a change for you, Mark, no purples!

OH Yes, very beautiful Mark. I see it like frosty windows. BRRRRR! Looks really kold too :-))) Lovely texture indeed.

very fine image and texture

Mark this one is something else and when blended with your marvelous sense of humor it becomes a moving work of art. The moment it popped on the screen I was pulled in by the fine detailing and wonderous reflections that seem to shine from everywhere at once. When you scroll down to view it you instantly feel a almost hypnotic effect. Great one :)

just so totally love reading what is sparked by your artwork. What a mirage of beautiful aura you all are. Saw the branch of a tall tree with moonlight cast shadows as if one sits at the base and contemplates the shadows/light in life with crisp frost draping all frozen in time. I know it's a reflection of where am in life but........does so bring me a "breath" moment.

This is easy today. Vertical pine boards with a blue/gray wash and lots of wonderful highlights. Am I being a little too concrete with your abstract? As usual, I like it!!!

Oh, this rain-loving girl is seeing sheets of welcome preciptation falling over a silver winter forest...what a lovely and comforting work this is, Mark!

Amazing number of shades even without a full palette.Makes me think of an ice cold world, feeling of desolation.Great work,Mark.

Be still, my heart--I'm SO glad you warned me!! But, omigosh, Mark, this is simply stunning. Sheets of silver, shimmering, shining, gleaming--peaceful, wow, I could go on and on and on (guess I did!!!) I LOVE this!! At the very top right and a few other places, I see old vinyl, hear, hmmm, maybe Grace Slick, since this also has an almost psychedelic feel to it!!

I see textures of wood and cracked glass or ice...This time I feel like into a forest illuminated by the moon or inside a cave where the ice make so transparent curtins.I can go through this and the light is everywhere from the top to the bottom...and all around.Wherever this is is a "dream-place". And you know how i like blacks and greys...But Your image is not "monochrome" it has a beautiful and completly pallette of tones in its own, it´s another dimension of colour and you did a great one, once again!

Thank you for the warning! I'm backed up against the opposite wall to completely absorb the utterly awesome grandeur of this amazing vista, Mark! I echo many of the other comments vis-a-vis the clarity, color, lighting and magnificent textures Those look like abstract renderings of the rings of Saturn, or possibly a DVD, in the upper right portion.

Great textures and style! Excellent artwork. Nice to see you posting again!

Great contrasts and textures in this beauty. Beautifully done Mark. Be sure not to overtax yourself. :o) I hate being deprived of good work. ;o)

WOW! I really have to catch up with your gallery, but this is a fantastic place to start. I love this! Monochrome works so well with this. It's funny, maybe I've got space on the brain or something, but when I looked at this full sized, I noticed a pattern not unlike Saturn's rings. I also see a wonderful frost pattern, as if you've captured winter's exhalations on a window looking out into the night. And that's what I like most about the stuff you do; it's always so richly evocative in countless ways. It also never appears the same way twice. Fantastic work. Corey is sitting beside me, looking over my shoulder (we're sharing computer time at the internet cafe) and are occasionally logging each other out, but he sees record grooves where I see Saturnian rings...and yeah...THAT is a good thing too...the way each person can see something distinct and yet supported by what's actually there. Fantastic work.

A true artist squeezes so much out of so little - this frost-painting is magnificent!

Oh, Rings of Saturn and ice crystals for me! This is spectacular, and just proves that your art has its own "bones" aside from the glorious colors you generally employ. Beautiful work!

Fabulous work! Love the intensity of your forms and colors.

Cool dude. Nice vision and the format rules fer'shure. I do hope this means you've overcome all. Peace, tim PS: Albums {LP's} and palette knife - LOL love it.

Cool abstract piece, Mark. It has the feeling of scratched metal to it. Great idea and composition.+5

It's fun to read others' interpretations on this one. For once, my mind is not racing to give an abract work a form that I can recognize. For me, it's more like a meditation on dark and light how they work in harmony and weave in and out of each other. It's like what lies behind the best film noir movies. The lighting is there, but it's working in the background to provide the real story behind the story--almost like being another character or some all-knowing force that is masterminding the plot. I love how you are able to achieve this. I wish my monitor was longer so I could take this one all in at once. I'd love to see it on a wall. Scrolling can be good, though. It's like taking a slow walk. In any case, it's another fav from me.

Pretty Metallics very apropro for Galactic Spirals and Symbolic Arches. Even some Atlantean Ice crystals of stallactic view.

right, Mark!

This looks like lovely swirling frost on a windowpane!

A cold winter's night .. I sit at my computer and look out the window, wipe away the frost with my hand and it melts .. it quickly freezes again, showing all the swipes I made at the frost with my hand .. but there is this wonderful pattern .. and you've caught it all in this magnificent piece! the other thing that came to mind was the Ice Age .. thick layers of ice ... deep in there is buried a mastadon ..

I love going back into your gallery. It is full of such variety and richness. This one reached out and grabbed me (and now I'm stuck to its ice.) When I first looked at this on zoom, I thought of galaxies and the cold of space. Then I saw ice that has partially melted and refrozen numerous times over a dark lake with mysterious lights. Or maybe (more prosaically) it's a frozen shower curtain. But that could be on a spaceship in the depths of space where something has gone terribly awry. Light and darkness, ice and frozen motion, beauty in monochrome. Gorgeous image! I love it!
