Transient Alchemy

Despite its seemingly traditional (or even pedestrian) subject matter, this image qualifies for my sense of a "peripheral vision"--as it came to me in a dream, and evokes the spirit of Native American essence, as well as my "Druid heritage," long before... (Take a closer look; this painting has a story to tell, but I'll leave that to your imagination...)

Pretty painting!

Artist Reply: Thank you, Emily, but I think it's time to create some differentiation from what's meaningless propogation of 'basic static' in these comments for the purposes of creating traffic to your pages--versus what art is really supposed to be about... A "Pretty Painting"? Did you bother to read what I'd said about this, before submitting a comment? Did you even bother to look at the painting? Or think about it? Or in any of the thousands of such inane comments you've posted here? In a venue where artists put their work out to be examined by like-minded peers, I find this kind of approach desultory, and somewhat irrelevant and mercenary. If you have nothing more to do than post comments on most art posted here with no more content that this, please refrain from cluttering up the bandwidth with this drivel on my paintings. Thank you. Otherwise, we'd all be playing this game on Ebay... Instead, here, we'd actually like to get comments that mean something to us, that say something, that respond to the work we're doing. That's what art is really about--not links to your

This is beautiful! Good use of colors and great technique!

Artist Reply: Thanks, Rob. You have a great capacity for patience and persistence (more than I have!), in creating such realistic/futuristic worlds in your portfolio here. I appreciate your comments even more because I have (only a slight inking) of what it takes to do what you do!
