"In the very earliest time,
when both people and animals lived on earth,
a person could become an animal if
he wanted to
and an animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people
and sometimes animals
and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.
That was the time when words
were like magic."

It all started at the Source.

If you're trying to drive me crazy.... it's working...

Now I'm to the point of imagining things within the frame

The flame like image that you're launching these images with, is engaging on it's own as an abstract. Creativity aside.

An engaging image is what I aim for and admire. But your images have brought me to question how much is too much.

Aside from respecting your skills (both craft & creative), I wonder if a casual viewer would (or want) to spend the time trying to understand your images. Some have a puzzle like quality that require a time and intellectual commitment to view.

Your selection of accompanying prose is thoughtful and perhaps this C&C offered as constructive will give you more thoughts

Nice work

Thanks Rags...as to the above you are entirely correct. The casual
viewer will walk right on by my work and that is probably as it should be.

I am not interested in connecting all the dots so one can immediately
see what is what painting-wise. I try to leave that for the viewer to do
and of course most folks are not interested. 9 years in this forum has
underlined that.

Perhaps by backing away from your monitor and unfocusing/refocusing
your eyes the very definite 6 faces (in the painting) will rise to your surface?
