(that first comment took 30 minutes! That's why I'm so slow in your gallery, lol! I'm commenting on really inner stuff, at least as I feel it from you ((and I feel it!)); but I'll try to write a little faster if I can...) First, the blues here, though indigenous to these gorillas, are your inner interpretation of them. I mean, you've made the mother gorilla (I assume that's the mother) shine on top, and in the lights along her mane and her front leg/arm (forgive my lack of terminology). You've pulled forth the inner silverback blues and made them shine on the surface. The baby is light on key sections, too, like his back leg (visible) and those wonderful eyes. They feel very oil-like. (As in oil paints.) The grasses below are rendered in beautiful aqua-marines and purples. These make such a beautiful ground, and they're reminiscent of the hues you use for 'grounds' in other pieces, where all the lush activity above resolves to a deep undulating sea below---not a literal sea, but a kind of soul-sea swirling beneath everything. And you turned the plains, here, into a symbiotic expanse, reflecting the hues of the gorillas, and picking up the violets below them, as well. The sky's hues are like energies as much as clouds, etc. And the outlook---of the mother over the river and plain beneath her---is an invitation to this long peaceful land, where there seems to be great harmony. It's not fairy tale harmony, it's a deeper harmony, like they're walking into a world of a deep dream, where we'd wish all animals would dwell one day. There's a heartbreaking vision from the Kiowa Indians, I believe---and if I've told this before, bear with me, it bears repeating---where a girl, after witnessing the Europeans destroy the last of the buffalo, dreamt that a mountain opened up and all the buffalo that had been destroyed came bounding out in joy, and filled the landscape, as if to say, 'we never went anywhere, we've always been here, and always will be'. Of course, they were largely gone, in reality: It was a profound wish-dream. Well this image doesn't have that kind of apocalypse in it, but it does feel like a wished-for world that we'll one day return to. A beautiful and beautifully done image, with a tinge of melancholy, and a great bow of respect---or better, love---to truly magnificent beasts. Beautiful work, Carol. (Stravinsky was once asked if he respected an 18th C composer, whose work he just 'turned modern'. He answered: "For you, it's respect: For me, it's love...")
