Description A new one...reducing the output, somewhat, as predicted.
Happy with this one, feels like it's a bit further away.

Thanks so much, this is probably my own personal favourite right now. I've been away from them for a while, finishing a large oil painting but ought to be getting back to play with them soon. Thanks again for taking the time to make a comment.

This an amazing piece, I must say that I dislike many of the other but this one really draws me in it really moves for me, please take that as a compliment.

Ok, thanks. As I've said a few times, it's a personal favourite too. And I'd be surprised and gobsmacked if you liked them all...I don't like them all, at least not in equal amounts...I post some because they contribute to the overall vision in a small way, whereas others get closer to the core; but I'm convinced that that's an ongoing revelatory process, that the essence of this project will only become apparent over time.

As many personal projects, and most of art in my opinion,are deeply personal. As far as I like this one I'm sure it means so much more to you. May your project proof to be what you expect it to be

I wish my computer screen was bigger so I could fullview this and see the whole thing at once. This series is excellent in so many ways, this one especially. The distance from and push/pull of the space within the central form is spot on.

That's kind of you to say...it's probably because most of the vertical ones feature a central 'structure' of a particular ratio, whereas in this one the central element is quite narrow. Given all the other ones, it's natural that we interpret this one as being 'further' away. But it does work, though, doesn't it?

It's hard to explain, on the one hand, how random these pieces are, and yet, on the other, that there are quite rigid limits on them as they're being made.The results of each one are pretty unpredictable.

Thanks once more for your feedback, it's always appreciated.

Ta, but as you know, the enemy in this kind of work is overkill; when to stop is always the problem. Think I took my foot off the accel just in time for this one. Made a couple of changes too, allowed myself a tiny bit of splashing, in the blacks. And I do like that whitish smear, on the right.
Glad you like it...haven't been over as I've been unwell,(heavy cold, I think); I've not forgotten about signing the painting.

Well it seems to work,don't know quite why,but there is something right about it and that's the best I can come up with! I've been keeping a low profile here,positively retired from life it seems..hope it's seasonal
I'm back to Spain this coming friday.Not sure still for how long.See if the creative juices flow over there.
