In the midst of my "pipes phase" and the arrival of fall is what inspired this image. Fall, for me seems to really bring out my creative juices and theres no telling what will pop into my head, LOL! I painted this using acrylics, then created a two dimensional effect by painting the foreground pipe fittings digitally. I'd like to call this an abstract w/a touch of surrealism. What do you think?

As the Artist Steve you can call it what ever you want to. I am happy to go along with abstract but I was told of recently for calling a painting I saw as ABSTRACT, I was firmly told it was impressionism. To me it was abstract & still is. So they can stick it in their pipes & smoke it. THis is a Smokin piece of abstract to me too. Fantastic plumbing young man.Jessica Courtley-Rose 29 Sep 2007
