Absolutely magnificent…the tense excitement and there is so much spontaneous joy. Love it.

Sorry, I just fail to see “depression” in this pic. I hate the title. It doesn’t do the piece justice.
Phil Eckert
Hi Olga, its an attempt to express the creeping darkness of depression but there’s a strength to it that kind of surprised me a bit….. Glad you can see the joy :) regards, Phil

Strong and spontaneous image. Like Olga I don’t see depression. I think that there is actually quite a playful aspect to the work.
