Byron's ArtRage Explorations

[AT-TA]

Delightful colors so nicely put together.Like this a lot Byron.

Dear Byron, You're possibly the only artist who can compose so many different objects and stimuli into a marvellous painting rather than a messy muddle ...

Albert, AT-TA, Sky, Caesar: Thanks for your generous feedback.

Albert: That's both funny and a cool idea.

Dear Caesar, Certainly it's an extreme exaggeration (..."the only artist who can...?) but the underlying point is so much appreciated. My painting goals are terribly simplistic, to approach the former in your note realizing most will fall far from the cup. The latter is my fear. Hopefully most of the latter have ended in the wastebasket. Probably too many get posted when they shouldn't. Regardless, in the most simple way you seem to have articulated the totality of my painting goals however often (and too often) they fall short. Thanks a bunch.

Oh my goodness. What an astounding group of abstracts. They are so colorful and alive and imaginative. Each is original. You just seem to be all over the place. I really like your whole collection here and will spend more time looking closer at them. I guess all I can say is wow wow wow.

You have an amazing energy. It has been a great thing to witness your burst of constant creativity Byron. Much to look at here. Just amazing explorations.

Thank you Nick,Albert, Hanzz, DMerchen, Rose, Sav, Juz, Pai, Scott, Col, Flynn, Suzi, Evart, Jester, Fashmir, SOS, Alexandra (I hope I haven't missed anybody) and all from previous posts. Really appreciate all your warm thoughts and great feedback. And yes, it's exciting now seeing all the new AR3 works getting displayed. I think we're all on pins and needles waiting for the any day now release. Thanks again all.

This was my first full-on AR3 painting. As a beta tester I was creating it to try each tool while looking for bugs. Because there were of course bugs, it took me several days to complete. Now that program bugs have been near all eliminated it should take a day or so (for me) to make a construction like this without being hampered by faulty software. AR3 is running like a charm.

Each section is painted with the actual tool represented in the painting. It was a lot of fun - sort of creating a little homage to the new program and all its tools while putting each to the test.

Blow it up full screen, it will be easier to see each represented tool. And by the way, most sections were painted inside a "select" area using the new "select" and "transform" tools to build the grid, help keep outer sections masked when painting inside, and, when necessary, reorganize sections. They are cool tools.
