5 minute paintings in a digital medium: Bliss in brown ale

Published on September 16, 2004 By historyishere In

This piece started life in blue and seering white... but browns, blacks and yellows were a lot easier on the eyes... and it seems a lot more... organic now too.

Very nice...Historyishere....
I have been having a stare at it for a minute and it really draws me into the centre position as a hazy, spiralling barrage of blurred visions gurgling into oblivion...
I like it..

To me, the black lines stand out the most, and then you start noticing the progressively lighter and lighter lines.

This is really cool. It's something-I'd-hang-on-my-wall cool.

Grr. Wish I knew more about art and could make apropos comments. But it's just downright cool.

I just like the fact that the darker lines came out so crisp in it because they give it a lot of dimension.

That's true. I do kinda see it in three dimensions, though if I think about it (and tilt my head) I see it as more than that, like two cyclones on different planes. V. nice.

That's the beauty of abstract art... you can see a lot of different things in it.

My cat makes messes that that in his litter box every day. You just want us to appreciate it as "art" because you say it's art. Hmph.

If so, you have one heck of a cat. (And BTW, this seems like one of those times, looking at a person's artwork, where if you can't say anything nice, you should shut up.)
