Description

I haven't been feeling at all inspired lately so haven't done much. Four years ago I posted some abstract paintings dating from 1997-98, of which "Behemoth" was one - but it didn't really show the detail. So here it is again in the first of four close-ups - I'll post the complete image after that, larger than before. White liquid acrylic paint and black Indian ink on green A3 paper - scanned, retinted and made into a negative image using Photoshop, mid-1998. I achieved the textures using a novel extra ingredient! Second detail tomorrow. Thank you for taking a look and your feedback is always much appreciated :-)

Was just going to say: this is something new from you, but it was the opposite. Whatever, I just love it, the textures, your choise of colors (even if it is a negative), the dynamics of it talks directly to me. It is very tactile, that's a thing I like.

I love the colours & dark intensity of this Jim, it creates a great depth of feeling that really engages my imagination, the texture is wonderful too. Looking forward to more of these ; )

WOW, I'm a sucker for fractal patterns and this has me transfixed! Love those details and the crop is just right.

Oh! Whatever it is in there: a tribute to the band, a portrait of the hell beast or a fantasy image of one of the greatest drakes it still binds the image and the name as good as it's possible. Strong, expressive and very very beautifull! Bravo! I'm on a journey to find the original :)

I can't imagine what the whole thing looks like. This has all the natural media impact of a paint smeared rock face. Most impressive. Could almost be a Micheal Prime CD cover! (PS. Great e-mail message you sent! I'll get back to you soon) ;-)

Yeah, it reminds me of the Michael Prime/Morphogenesis covers too :-)

This looks weird! I thought it was a close up photography of a tree bark! That's exactly how this texture looks like!
