"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Lovely work. I really like this one. I agree it seems calm. The central/inner part looks like a stilled bell - a bell no longer tolling the warning now it is mounted on the pillars. The shape reminds me slightly of a carousel or, perhaps, the band stand from 'Trumpton' (was a children's TV programme, long gone).
I am honoured to be listed as a friend or to see an image of mine as a favourite, but I keep lists of neither. This helps me appreciate images uploaded by strangers as well as friends. Please understand that a failure to reciprocate in kind indicates a lack of appreciation for neither gesture nor work.
