    Blue Chrysalid

    a little change of format from the square I usually employ to a more traditional 5x7 layout. And now that we are heading into winter I was impressed on the idea of a chrysalis and how they curl and hide in the dark waiting until some ware spring day to metamorphose into something wonderful. So enjoy this and Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends on this forum!

    The blue form immediately caught my eye - to me it looks like a wet pebble with reflections. Interesting use of wet looking textures.

    We are heading into summer after the coldest winter in a long time so I don't like to think about winter. We don't do Thanksgiving down here but I think we should - we have so much to be thankful for - have a good one.
    June.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    A masterful use of all hues without clashing into a noisy and annoying mess. I appreciate the use of the gloop pen to get areas with transparent and translucid overlay of colors. The blue area, also in Your explanation, is a curled cocoon of dormant life waiting for a springing unfolding.

    Thanks for commenting June, hope your summer makes up for your winter... seems the weather everywhere is changing in dramatic ways.

    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)

    It is a sheltered place

    I like the fact that the world around it looks colorful and inviting yet here is this protected place.
