butchart
love this… colour and rage…. i’m sure it wasn’t meant to but it takes on a gay connotation for me… the whole flag thing….... b
Ray Schloss replied
wow, dude… no that had nothing to do with this painting.
butchart
didn’t mean in a negative way ray…...... :)

WELL.. I feel the Cathartic!! I feel the essence of all we are.. layers and layers of perfect color..Xed out sometimes.. by our thinking.. brilliant work!!
Ray Schloss replied
hey, lina… the colors are meant to be our lives. but the x is not just our thinking. wish it was that easy… thanks for your kind comments. :0)
linaji
Ray.. it is that easy.. I am finding that the way I think at every moment is the key to my happiness.. but this is not the place.. Your work here punches this home.. so.. you tell me.. what is that X?

This one sings to me, it feels like a Peter Tosh song.
Ray Schloss replied
this is before your time…. but i saw peter tosh on saturday night live singing “don’t look back” with mick jagger in like ‘78, which was very cool… :0) and much better than this
AmandaGWright
HA! You say “this was before your time…” as if I am a newborn babe and you are wobbly with age, cane in hand….
Ray Schloss replied
i’m a lot older than i look… trust me :0)
AmandaGWright
I’m thinking 68?
Ray Schloss replied
LOLOLOL…. ok, not quite that old!
AmandaGWright
Oh, then I guess you are wrong, I guess you look really old for your age….Sorry ‘bout that…..That’s gotta blow baby chunks fer sure.
Ray Schloss replied
lol!! that was very funny!
AmandaGWright
I am a comedic genius don’t ya know?
mekea
Beautiful color compositon! Very strong piece! :) Great work!
Ray Schloss replied

I feel the bold colors being stroked on the canvas with vigor and strength…you pounded this one huh Ray! I can feel that! So much meaning in such a beautiful piece. It’s obvious that everyone sees something completely different in one public display of art. I believe that is the wonderment of creating abstract & it doesn’t matter how many variations of comments…the artist always & only knows the truth! I love this one Ray. Great work!
Ray Schloss replied
you’re very kind, my friend… :0)

joanw
That’s ok, Ray. It brought me back to visit this piece. I love it.
I’m fine. Just returned from NYC and walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. Two weeks ago I walked over the Manhattan Bridge and did 18 miles walking around. Didn’t do as much today, LOL. Hope you are well.
Ray Schloss replied
hey hey hey!! great to hear from you. glad you are staying active. speaking of walking, i did the bataan death march memorial marathon in the new mexico mountains in march, most people do the whole 26.2 miles with a 35 lb backpack. got a blister on my right foot that was the equivalent of a 2nd degree burn. but it was still a great experience! how are aerobics going??
joanw
My son did something very similar in Texas with his army recruits.
I’m still teaching and still very strong for almost 59 years old, LOL. Love it!
Ray Schloss replied
thanks for catching up!
