Well, I kinda like this one too *teasing* I do really like the lighter mood of this rework, and I'm happy to see that you can see the beauty here as well...it begs the question: When is a work of art complete? I've never been able to answer that one..nice work, Michael, my friend :)

Well Michael ... I at least get to cover my previous thoughts by reiterating some words I shared with you before ... stay with your vision and trust your instincts.

As much as this one is clearer to 'read' ... it doesn't translate any where near as well as the other with regards to mood and feel.

Now, I feel like I am looking at some good abstract art. The visceral feeling that your other image provoked is quite lessened here. And all this said with the benefit too, of your words and narrative.

This one is interesting ... in a very good way ... your other is more powerful and evocative.

But here's to keeping an open mind and I most certainly enjoy our dialogues.

Audience/viewer and artist talking?

Priceless. :o)

p.s. I can't resist either, ... my inner imp ... "kinda likes this one too." :oP

I like this one better, it has greater contrast and leaps out at you more.

Thanks everyone! Your comments truly mean a lot to me. I truly appreciate it!

Michael.
