Description
First of all a quick apology for being so quiet lately! I've been very much a "lurker" while other things have been on my mind (nothing bad, honestly, apart from the London bombings last week *sigh*) Anyway, I knew I'd be back before long as I had a few unfinished pieces on the go...
...Of which this isn't one of them! Actually this one happened very quickly today while working on artwork for a new Endgame CDR called Underworld. This was the image for the inside spread of the inlay and there was some info text on the upper half which I decided not to show here as it works better in its own right without it. Something really simple, it's actually just a couple of overlaid and tinted negative photos of close-ups in a grimy upstairs room at the place I worked at until recently! But viewed this way, it suggested a precarious mountain track somewhere up in the clouds, so I decided to share it.
Thank you for viewing and your feedback is always appreciated... more to come very soon I think, and (unlike this slight departure) it's likely to be the sort of thing I do rather more often ;-)

What a mysterious - and calm mood! The tone is wonderful, just perfect for this landscape. And I like a lot how the light glows, and takes the viewer with it. I think I'd love to walk there, maybe to meet some strange creatures... :-)

The dark area gives me a sense of falling. It's like standing too close to the edge of a sand hill, ready to suck you down and bury you under it's weight. - yo

Nice experiment....

I really like it. The texture is very organic and it's great to know how you made it.

I would have never guessed what it was! It looks like a mountain, definitely! Stone texture for sure!! Glad to see u back dear! ;)

Glad to see you back, Jim! (although I haven't been around much myself recenty :-) Yes, this looks like a painting of a rim of a volcano to me. That dark space could be a gateway to the underworld. I can easily imagine this as a fine inside spread for Endgame. I appreciate these departures from your usual style as they give a new perspective on your ideas, like your early ink drawings. Sounds like there's upheavals in your life! Hope all's well.... (CD now playing: Alan's Captured Flux 8-)

Ah, Captured Flux, the non-guitarist's guitar album! One of these days I'll bring my own out, I have a few systemic guitar pieces from a few years back ;-) As for upheavals, the real ones should be starting in about a month, that's when my art really will divert to plenty of new spaces braces himself ;-)

Wow! Love this one Jim, very creative use of a couple of photos! Great impression of a very mysterious & evocative landscape, the simple minimalist look triggers so much in the imagination. Really nice work ; )

A feeling of space and light, reminds me of Rothko ... the abstraction of landscape!
