  1. Ummmm.....sooooooo trying to figure this whole post out. I like the colors very much. The artistic ability to swirl them just so, is excellent. The framing, perfect! BUT.....the title and the bubble gum???? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atx5i_9OnWc 😁😁

    1. Thank you so much! I, too, have spent time and energy trying to figure out what various "artists" on several diverse platforms were trying to do with titles and explanations that do nothing but distract. It so often reeks of hubris and pontification that I can't even look at the image without prejudice. I just want to look at the image/painting/sculpture. It's different when you or Peter or others describe a series of images from a trip or excursion. That informs me of the context of the snapshots - it doesn't tell me what I should see. So, just the musings of an old man.😊

  2. That's some serious Art with a capital "A" My only suggestion is to say that it could perhaps be improved by making the vertical dimension 91.3 cm. Colorful fantasy-- I like it!

  3. I haven't pulled the ring pull yet (any moment now) so what I'm looking at must be what it is! I can't relate it to a photograph of anything of course but it does have an abstract appeal. Hopefully the duck won 😉

  4. I think there may be a second, unseen duck that will come clear if you meditate on it. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I started to say it's fun to look at, but that's only a shallow interpretation.

  5. My first impression was 'The Scream' .... I think it was because of the yellow colour.
