I manupulated a photograph of a fish and a photograph of a the bottom of an aquarium with pottery, where fishes swim in and out. I made lyers of both of the photographs. Put them together and worked after that with a lot of filters and tools of Photoshop and PhotoImpact. Related to this artwork I have had a discussion with my sister Daisy. The main point is: Do you need a focus point?" and "Do you have to know what the main subject in the artwork is?". I think that it is anot always neccessary. I think you also can create a kind of dream worls. A worls that gives you impressions of a colorful undersea world. You don't exactly what there is but you can imagine.... Please let me know how you feel about this even if you don't like it at all. Image copyright: Thea Walstra

Thea, I love this! And agree with you, of course, abstract is one of my favorite forms! :) The colors and patterns created by this image are fabulous! :)Rita de Falussy 31 Aug 2006
Greatly done, and I think you are right. In abstract the best thing is when you evoke different images from the viewer. It might even clash with your own intention, or you never thought that someone sees "that" in your image, however, you give the title and with that you can steer your viewer perception of your intention. This is beautiful, and very clear what you wanted us to see here. Great job!epsylon lyrae 30 Aug 2006
