I'll let this speak for itself. Oil on mounted paper 18"X24"
Lost track after 100 hrs. I believe it was worth it.
This is like 4 paintings in one. A real turner in every sense of the word.
In a way this is slightly beyond me if you know what I mean. Hard to explain
Best viewed full view and 5 to 10 feet from your monitor.
Hope you like it :)

Whoa, 100 hours... I definitely haven't put that much time into a piece yet lol.
Great work man; I think I can kinda understand the title, but either way, that's awesome.

many are approx 160 lol Learned art (my style) through being a tile tradesmen for 20 years. What a hard art school it was. The patience for, and the ability to say tomorrows another day is a must for the work I do--also learned from the tile trade. No tile, my art wouldn't be what it is.
Thank you for the nice words

Thank you ! One woman that saw that in person told me it was a good woman's painting. Passion fish looks good upside down (did you see the baby with the baby hat lol

I can't tell you how utterly frustrating it is for me to know most people see about 30%. These take repeated exposures, in person, to really see it. If you've ever viewed your work 18x24/30 x 40 you know exactly what I mean. Then there's my style, which just doesn't work on an internet screen. All the characters in these are not seen. Yes, some of course, but many of these pieces have from 50 to 100 characters per view--meaning turn it upside down and start all over again.

Some times I wonder if it actually hurts my art when viewed by people out of da. I mean, they lose so much. You ever think about that?

About people not seeing everything ? And things getting lost in the shuffle around here ? Yes, actually I do think about that sometimes, especially when you do something that for whatever reason gets passed over because it's out of the "norm"... especially in the world of fractals.

But over here up until about 8 months ago, it was a different issue... we were considered the red headed step-child at the family re-union... the outsider. We weren't considered legitimate artists & in a lot of ways & by a lot of people we still aren't.

What is Gary into? I'm assuming he's in art since you have his name in your ID. As far as fractals are concerned, you have to make your mark. Do you know Jen? Jennabee

this looks really fluid. Almost like still water that just had something heavy thrown in it. The color and hinted images are excellent in this. Great job

Thank you so much. Always look foward to your feedback. If you are the one, I can't explain my work as well as you do.
