I am glad you posted this one again Mark :-))) First it s very beautiful and I like alot that light in the beautiful colors. Second I am so glad to know what the inner light of a wall looks like and that it even had any :-))) Have a find weekend yourself.

It's fantastic Mark. Excellent work!!!

Some wall!! Obviously not reinforced concrete, something much more meaty. I love that bevelled edge, that's what I did on my 'purbeck postcard series', a sort of 'trompe d'oeil', (is that how it's spelt?) I feel that I'm looking through rather than into it, quite a brain exercise! You are such a diverger, it's very good for your fans to stretch their brains!

You're a bloody e-hypnotist! I opened the image and my jaw dropped, time stopped, and I awoke from my dream several hours later.... What a trip! (I'm delighted you un-messed up)

First thanks for your comment on the Common Potato, so glad you liked it. Didn't Tara do a great job of painting it? I was stunned by what she achieved. I think I might join you if that quart of scotch is still on the bar. Lover the colour tones in this creation, don't know about it being a wall but it would look great framed and hanging on one. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

So glad it's back Mark and your funny remark about how it walked out and made such a scene has me smiling first thing my friend :) It really is such a pleasure to see you posting more often and knowing yoiiu feel better.

Well, as a fellow Kansan, Carrie Nation might have said, I am shocked! This is the first time I've ever met a painting that should be attending AA meetings. Fabulous my friend. I usually say I see this or that, but today I am overwhelmed by the flow of inner light emerging and all kinds of colors complete with rich textures. There even seems to be a lot going on in this wall. And I thought all walls did was stand around and loaf all day. Now, I know better. Great job!!!

I'm so glad this painting made it back from the trash heap to this world-wide gallery so we could enjoy its vivid splendor. I love all the wild colors, textures, chaos, and even order within this wall, and most especially the glowing center where I see a faint heart. CC

I can tell you all about the inner life of walls, given the state of my bathroom a couple of weeks ago! Your version is MUCH nicer than the pictures I've got of mine. Loooooove the colors, especially that sea-green against the beautiful, brilliant blues. That transition point ... pale green to moss to violet to sky to vivid blue ... it's just gorgeous! I know exactly what happened to my walls, btw ... they ended up on a trash heap somewhere. I wasn't here the day they left, but I think they probably consumed quite a bit of beer in the truck on the way to the dump!

I'm glad you put this back up. This is gorgeous. I do wish as auntiek stated, the inner walls were this beautiful. Superb and vibrant colors and textures.

Tara stole my line--I KNOW my inner walls don't look anything like this!! And Chip, well he would talk about Namean architecture and strange objects that would reside there. Me? I just love it, for it's another vivid splash of color and life that you're doing so well and so often lately. They all jump off the page right into my space; I could use them to PAPER my walls!! I think what happened was after it got lost the first time, I came with me on my river trip, soaked up all the color, freaked out and ran right back to you!!!

yep!i´m with Andrea,Mark:it´s good if you put your"fans-brains" in exercise-lol-and their imaginary too... You did a GREAT image...i can see that your wall is completly alive...ghosts inside? Somebody there!!I can see figures into the light! And i can see a meeting too!The center of your image has a magnificent luminousity!your colours envolve the textures you did in a wonderful and complete plalette and the light is emerging with such a power from that inner place!!but the mostly i love here, it is i can go throught that wonderful light once more, and i can have a sit too... and who knows??lol-down a quart of Scotch there!!!It seems a beautiful and calm place into your wall to enjoy!!I would like to have one like that:))))thank you for posted it,Mark.Excellent.

If the walls speak .... Excellent work.

I love your inner vision; this is just mouth-wateringly beautiful! Those colors melt into my soul...

don't think my walls have an inner life like this (and i am not going to look) - glad you reposted it!

Beautiful work...

Fabulous texture work Mark, I'm always a sucker for images with great lighing and this sure has it. Very eye-cathing work indeed and I found myself staring at it for a long time. The metallic look gies this one an air of mystery considering we normally associate walls with bricks, a sort o psychedelic prison cell. Oh yeah ... nothing wrong with a scotch LOL. Great to see you back ... been missing you. Tony.

Very nice abstract. The play of light and color makes it very 'live'

Again, I echo the comments above, and add that the colors, lighting and textures are overwhelmingly spectacular, virtually driving me to my knees in awestruck reverence. It kind of reminds me of the fantasy movies where adventurous explorers to the bowels of the earth come across huge surreal caverns during their exploits.

I'm glad to see this back! Hilarious story. It is a great tale, taking the whole "If Walls Could Talk" series to another level: If Walls Could Walk. : ) I can clearly see in the center a scrying object. Could be spirits, could be memories, could be historical imprinting or lingering human energies. But they have human form, and they are looking at us. It reminds me of when people take a recorder to a graveyard and pick up on voices that are barely audible with messages to the living. The message here would be positive and spiritual. It also reminds me of what we are told to think of when we die, to go toward the light, that loved ones will welcome is there. I love the texturing, like layers of paint each layer peeling back to reveal the true center. Much like old homes with all their history and how those of us who are curious do everything we can to find out who lived there before us. To me it's about form in that the design is well thought out, but it is also about being formless. It shows the essence. This is one of my top favorites in your gallery, so, I'm glad it has returned to its rightful place. I look forward to commenting more next week.

Great image. Very nice colours, lighting and textures! Excellent artwork!

Ooh, this has such vibrant life. When I look at it, I'm reminded of something underwater, almost...the horizontal elements of this remind me of hanging kelp, or some other rich, scarcely-seen underwater flora. The colors though...WOW! And I can completely relate to the story of a painting walking out in a rage. I've tried my hand at acrylics--usually in the company of a rather outspoken group of painterly, artistic people (one of whom was supernaturally gorgeous) and during those times, I had paintings storm out in a tiff...usually berating me in...well...berating me in Russian or Ukrainian (which sounds a bit like dyslexic Russian with a tad bit more moisture in it.) Anyway, I digress. This is amazing work, and I do agree that it has the quality of a kind of scrying object: like something you'd be able to read in water, or inside a polished piece of quartz, though this is a bit more dynamic and lively than what quartz generally tends to show. This is, most definitely a favorite, and I love your written notes as well..."found mangled in a trash heap" does have a particular, lilting note of visual poetry. Great work.

Mark! EXCELLANT ! For me This proves Walls can talk! And boy does it! It seems to answer my question of what and where is the "Glassy Sea" I think it says the Glassy Sea is the mirror that stands between Our Image and that, that is reflective of the brilliance of the pure light. The Walls that Talk speak of that "Great Brilliant Reflective light"And the Glassy Sea is shown For us to look into and see our reflection for whatever it is.

Very beckoning glowing depth.

Beautiful work... That is quite a lively wall.
