    Hi Gary.....like the way you incorporated the colors of the rainbow within symbolises of the eye, a royal
    celebration of life and heatlh. Thank you dear friend for starting my day off with this uplifting image.

    Now that's not exactly a process painting, but it's the painting of a process. Yeah, after every rain there's a rainbow as a promise of not having to suffer that flood again (unless you put on the same tear-jerker movie). . . And after the waterworks from the eye has lessened, we get the rainbow and the silver lining, judging from this the pot-o-gold which has been cleverly fashioned and worked into a crowning achievement. . . or repeat as needed until it works that way. Got to pay your dues if you want to play the blues and you know it don't come easy. . .

    It's as if we opened the seal and entered the arcane tomb for the first time in millennia, only to find out that the ancients had ArtRage. . . WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

    Cool, I like the effect of the lines, it looks like a dark grey rain which gives the painting a mysterious quality

    That's what art's about, isn't it -- at some point it's about the relationship between the art and the viewer, sort of like speed dating. (D Akey)

    Thanks Steve, I hope you have a big wall ... part of this is actually a base layer from tilt and shift from yesterday, I use bits and pieces from other works a lot as a starting point, although in the end they might get totally covered up..

    thanks AndreaMG, I desaturated it and then brought bits of color back in so it made for an interesting background....
