If it is at a standstill, then I must be moving, which is barely possible, so I don't know what to think. I know...it's an automatic drive-thru car painting station. LOL. Beautiful work, John.

I think this is a portrait of Earl Scheib, Shads. Great work.

so i looked at this, and remarked out loud "oh this is awesome" then tried to rekindle why... there is a lot to this picture. for one i see a hut (one of those haystacked ones) and a crazy use of single edged horizontal and vertical lines. a standstill is always welcomed with the contrast of moving, speed, chaos.. a concept or rather an idea that only the sheltered wild (moving) can understand. you have some fierceness and soft but protruding images here, a lot of emotion, purely an emotional piece.

how can one use letters, words or prose against its own institution? is it not to say that this accepted alphabet can portray intolerable thoughts against itself; the reflection of these words represent the meaning of ones mindless inquiry, generalizing became this text. . .read the marks behind a letter of assurance/ freedom is jailed within. . ." _ EaB

Looks like what happens after the family cat jumps into a fully decorated Christmas tree reflected in the one ornament that didn't shatter when it fell to the floor. An interesting creation John. Thanks for sharing.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Lovely image... painting? John! And it is desktop size. Any size anybody wants. Just play with it a touch! Two tries so far... resize and canvas size (from top to 1800 [I downloaded the 21?? sq. size) with resize. Prefer second option (and it still reminds me very much of the original!)
Thank-you John! :o)

Edit: And this aft I am uncertain about my early morning preference... I just may prefer the simple re-size! Looks like a two-4! :o)

When this came up in the Voting Booth I had no idea what I was looking at but I immediately loved the composition and colors. It's an imaginative and eye-grabbing piece of art. Top marks!

I think this is stunning. I would have preferred something not square so it occupied my desktop better, but this is so original it deserves praise.
