One of my paintings, titled 'In Between', I wonder what you guys will make of it, be gentle with me, I do have a Masters degree for validation but still not much self confidence. I think of my work in terms of 'mindscapes' and always have. Have a feeling this is going to load really small, if at all...
Hope it shows up big enough to see it.
At 567x567 pixels, it's not easy to make out details, but the painting has a coherent shape. The relationships between the thirteen tall, thin figures at the bottom right corner interest me. (I say thirteen, but there may be a fourteenth who's lying down.) My eye is naturally drawn first to those shapes because they look human, but then I notice the resemblance to similar shapes elsewhere in the painting, and the thin black brush strokes in the top left start to look like human limbs.
I see it as the depiction of events during the siege of a fortification, and I like it.
Thank you for your thoughts, it is always interesting to hear someone's take on abstract art and what they see in it, I appreciate you taking the time to have a look. The file resolution upload limit is very low as far as I can work out, which is a shame I agree as details are lost and it's all about the details!
