The painting colours (notwithstanding what I said yesterday) I find quite attractive - clean, in a way.
The poem is clever. I think there may be one line break too many between the middle joiner and the mirror section.
Thanks Frank and yes one too many - I\'ll rectify it.
Done 🙂
Clever write and I love the abstract Michael.
Thanks Andy - the colours are a bit in your face but otherwise it worked well.
I would be hours doing this - probably! A fine write and pic Michael.
Cabn't say it took me hours but I did keep picking it up and playing with it to get it right.
Don't want to rain on your parade, Michael, but as far as the painting is concerned, I think I have seen better from you. It is interesting though!
The poem however is just great!
No you're right in that it's not one of my best - in fact it's an experimental piece using a foul coloured mount board as background which does it no justice. As it's acrylic paint mixed with PVA glue and it's an experiment I titled it Acrilex. Not one that will end up being offered for sale unless I can crop a small section for a small painting which often works. But that awful sort of violet background is the problem.
Michael, I did not mean to imply that it is bad, on the contrary. Just not your best! And that violet background does work with the yellow, at least as far as I am concerned. But then, I always liked violet!
Don't worry Fred - that's what I took you to mean but for me it's a bit too 'in your face' . But it was a useful experiment worthy of sharing.
Love the abstract and the double mirrored edone. Touching poem.
Thank you Christina
Absolutely love the color on the paint.
You finished such a hard piece.
Love both.
Did indeed - ta muchly m&m
Good works both , opposite colors are always so vibrant , interesting using glue I do some of my colors on my guitar work mixing acrylic with an epoxy that allows the swirls to stand up without getting muddy
Cheers Bill - I'm always game for a new challenge or method as both these show.B
Of the two experiments, the painting is my favorite, Michael. I find it strangely captivating ... but we all know I'm a little strange myself. Keep the experiments coming!
Will be trying else over the next few days - thanks for looking in Louis
Great and clever write
Thanks Tony
The poem first - What a tortuous exercise this must have been, but you got there, and with a heavy message as well. To that point, perhaps (and this is merely a suggestion) it would have more bite with a word such as "inexcusable", or "fundamental."l
As to the art, please save the purple background, and the naked woman within it. To me the yellowish portion appears to be a tattered garment she is removing.
Or is it trying to say something about hunger? - Phil A.
Thanks so much and as for the suggestions I fully agree - inexcusable being 11 letters would serve as a far better link word to replace manifesting - in fact I'll change it now. as for naked women and tattered garments - I think I'd better take a closer look 🙂 Thanks for such helpful observations Phil - much appreciated.
Now this is just damned clever sir and a lovely image above.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ love the Painting I see at least SIX MOONSTERS LURKING THEREIN ~ SCARY interestingly YOU & I have posted a MIRROR POEM today ! GMTA ! Yours BRIAN
Purple and yellow are not my favorite colors but you made them work really good here. The other complement the piece adding more interest and creating some boundary to it. I went beck to look for a naked woman but found some parts on it that could be interpreted as a naked woman. I myself see a woman dressed on a long flying dress and she is falling. As for the poem I find them too difficult for me because it is almost more math than poetry. I like the poetic side of poetry. I like drama or romance. You've been quite dramatic with those forms anyway. Thanks Michael. You are always a master for me.
Stunning work and very smart.
