Great like the movement in this picture I have tried such pictures but never turn out how I like them like this one.

This is a stunning painting;your use of imagery and color enhance the feeling of moving on to another dimension, a higher plane of consciousness. I loved your use of abstract paintings to symbolize “moving on” and using the past to bring awareness for change. I am happy to have found your exceptional work and look forward to seeing more of your metaphoric paintings.

Peace hardhhhat, thank you for your comment. I find that sometimes when I don’t initially focus on the outcome of my painting they turn out better. Ideally, painting for a intuitive perspective works best for me. I tend to title pieces after they’ve been completed, because that’s when I can see them best.
