Description: As we are swept into the vortex all is calm. We realize that we are all the same. Just beings floating in an endless nothingness. Maybe when we get to the other side all will be well. Just as it should be. Maybe this is our new beginning.
This painting very much reminds me of a Matisse or a Gauguin. Your colors are very brilliant and genuine and as Jadedagent mentioned the vortex is very nice and helps to give more of a focal point. I think my one concern would be the bird in this piece. It breaks up the vortex a bit too much. Perhaps if you were to go back in there with the colors, perhaps even a darker red and push these other strokes into the bird it would help it flow a bit better rather than having it be one large stop sign. Other than that I would say well done :) This is a very unique piece and I am very happy to have it in our group! Thanks so much for posting it!
Fair maiden in orange gown? Lush sureal landscape? Creatures great and small living in harmony? Check,check ...and check. Awesome, point me in the direction of the vortex! very nice!
I'm sure she will love it, my parents are close to the same age!!! Wish her a big Happy Birthday! She's lucky to have such a beautiful and talented daughter!!!
