    What the Years Have Given - 3

    this painting called for a restrained ( for me ) color pallet and a more somber mood, hope you all can enjoy it for what it says...to you.

    Thanks Pat I was unsure of this one initially and the colors gave me pause as I am so in the habit
    of using bright and saturated colors, which is exactly why I steered away from those for this work...it was definitely a stretch for me but I am very happy you like it, and it has received lots of positive comments
    on Instagram as well.

    More wild free-associations than most for me. In addition to all that, this started to take on a comic book feel owing to those shapes taking on a distinctly figurative look to me. I could look at this one were it on my wall and have a different story each time, kind of like Bradbury's Illustrated Man -- only not dark at all where his was.

    an interesting take on this D Akey, its great that it is tickling your imagination more than usual....
