Beautiful image my friend... I can see a big bird in it :))

Wonderful image playing with colors and transparencies, very harmonious design, excellent artwork!

Very esthetic forms and transparencies, the colors are also harmonious, excellent work, Bob !

I love how it moves, how it flows.

farrrrrrrrrrrrr out Bob.. also enjoy it on zoom.

What a simply fabulous looking image you have created here, Bob. I very much enjoyed your detailed explanation on how you went about trying to categorize it.

I never thought purple and gold could be a good combination. I was wrong. Bob, lol. This is excellent!

MMM.... candy! ")

Well, I think it all sounds very clever, but I just see a superb fractal, something I would love to touch, but something that just stays elusive.

Wow. Really beautiful and atmospheric feel.

Wonderful forms and colors my friend!!!

All hail shroom_vision!

I like it!! can't descibe

I may have written this here, but "abstract" originally meant "to draw out": I say that because of your discussion of abstraction, above. "Abstract" meant to draw out an essence, something from 'within'---which is very different from "non-realist" or "beyond nature". You could even say that an abstract is "ultra" natural---as opposed to "non" natural---because it comes from the very core of nature. So your abstract realism is very apt, and wholly in line with "abstraction". In fact, all your Bryce work suggests many natural phenomena. I think various traditional 20th C painted abstractions do that too; but they don't have the smooth surfaces that software-created works can achieve; so your Bryce pieces allow us to envision not only large glass-like structures, but also highways, water-courses, metallic surfaces, and so on. But they also allow us to envision structures from the microscopic world (both real and imagined). Since your work is pulsing with these things, yes, it's not really alien at all. Anything we haven't noticed yet will look alien to us, at first; but your 'job' as an artist is to constantly make us aware of those things, so they cease to be alien and become truly intimate... Before I comment on the piece: I mentioned Chihuly in a recent comment. Here are 4 links to his work. The jpgs are way too small---he tends to work large, and the web only gives small. But you'll get a taste, assuming you don't already know it. I share it because he achieves swirls, plunges, emergences and re-emergences, etc, which remind me of aspects of your Bryce work. It's just for interesting comparison: http://dallaschildblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Chihuly_DallasArboretum_0016_sml.jpg http://disneycruiselineblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/wpid3707-DCLBlog_DSC_2376-Edit_Disney-Cruise-Line-Wonders-Atrium-Lobby-Dale-Chihuly-Chandelier.jpg http://www.chihuly.com/Data/Sites/2/PhotoDetail/CdSeaBook41_93.1007.s8_B.jpg http://media.caller.com/media/img/photos/2010/12/22/20101222-115741-pic-760432808_t607.jpg (The site no longer allows active links in comments, so I can't activate them for you---you have to cut and paste. But they're there, if you want to see them. They're much larger in person, and of course you can walk in and around them...) This image: It's a dark world, here, with odd plant-like shapes, and 'capping' forms on the tops of the stems, which turn into light, as well. That's one of the things one constantly finds in your Bryce pieces, btw: Transformations from one 'function' to another---like here, as plant-tops become sweeps-of-light. You also have near complementary hues---those deep purplish blues against those greenish yellows: wonderful contrasts. This glows with the intensity of a late sunset. And some of the swirls are wonderfully knotty and sensuous---a big 'confluence', a little to the right of center, is a great example. You know, I started out as a classical and jazz musician; and these Bryce pieces are very musical. I wouldn't say your work is always "in medias res" (dropping us into the middle of something), but it sure intimates a lot going on outside the piece. And I mean, for centuries Western painting concentrated on its subject, where the subject was "finished" at the edges. But with pieces like this, there's completeness here, to be sure; but it's clearly excerpted from a larger world around it; and that gives these pieces the feeling of being part of a whole universe. Also, for all the free-floating forms you have in these abstracts, you still will have 'earth' in several of them---I mean a 'ground', something on which everything rests, stands. There's kind of a 'ground' here...And the light sweeping across the 'horizon' is quite luminous. Really, these pieces are whole worlds, and they're always luminous and magical, and each piece is its own symphony. This one is set in twilight...It's quite beautiful and restful too. Another beauty from you, Bob...
