Lettin' It Fly
Some days, photography won't do it for me; on those days, I just paint what comes through.
These might be referred to as "polyreferential" digital paintings; they potentially have as many different "meanings" as they may have viewers.
I'd be interested (and likely fascinated) by any reactions -- positive, negative or indifferent.

Whatever!
The first one reminders of an Ojibwe Fancy Dancer.
The second one reminds me of walking on a glass floor.
Third reminds of of mathematics.
Fourth are doors opening to the heavens.
LOL, don't ask me to explain why I see what I see.
I am nothing if not symmetrical.
Thank you my friends for interesting interpretations.
The third one looks to be a passage way of some kind. It almost has an Egyptian feel to it, I think, and the colors help that feeling along. That image would be very interesting in 3D. It's my favorite.
I had nothing in mind when I made it, but after it was finished, I thought "Mexican" or "Aztec".
Perhaps. Those would work, too. That's the way most art is, I think, especially this kind. We make something and then later it tells us what it is.
I can see Kavika's interpretation of the first and last. The second I would call "Time and time again" and the third is somewhat Escheresque.
Mike, you are so full of poo.
hee hee hee.
It does have an Escher feel but it's not actually a tesselation pattern.
Mike's comment is well-thought-out and much appreciated
A. Mac, I was just funnin' with Mike and I hope he understands that.
I know Grump I saw you added the smiling face; I just wanted to give Mike the extra Kudos.
No sweat.
Ha!! You made me go to the dictionary with that one.
I saw the background of #3 as being similar to this:
...and the forground, being a concentration of the background into a glass globe, as being similar to what Escher did with this:
Both of which are Escher creations.
OK the first one is the working of my brain.
The second one feels like a Hockney. Love it!
The third one feels very deco.
And the last one has the feel of an Indian blanket.
All are wonderful!
I liked the last one best ... something about the curves .
The 3rd one was the most interesting . It combined a futuristic design with old style wood paneling for colors .
The 2nd reminds me a little of Dali .
The 1st one reminds me of Perrie's mind ...
Good to see you, Perrie.
Thanks for the interpretations.
I think the "Indian Blanket" is what I "saw" after I completed it.
1. Kaleidoscope (like when we were kids)
2.Glass over water with images passing beneath
3. One of those woodne boxes with secret locking mechanisms
4. Almost like a very pretty kite with a rectangular frame
Interesting food for the eyes and brain.
Spikegary,
I appreciate your insights and interpretations.
Thank you.
Really like the last one; it almost looks like a flag or something.
:~)
It actually began as an image I digitally made as a pure abstract of sorts like this one
