this was done a few years ago,, one of my favs,, it was one of the paintings that seem to work ,, more intuitional than anything else,, i did do a series of similar work then i think it was 4 years ago,,
it is also encaustic, 30 x 40 on panel , all my work is on wood panel .. nohting hidden . its all in front of youmexcept for a soft sub pattern,,, tell me your thoughts
three peculiar looking creatures curiously looking over even more peculiar looking creatures. i like how the little ones look like they're slowly moving around like crabs or turtles.
sad and joyful at the same time..playful... yet depressing. They hang like they are dead, on a rack. The mice are surrounded, there is no escape. I adore your colors

I applied for a job at this Doggie day care gym place a couple of years ago, and they also boarded animals. they had a cat room... the cats had these large multi-level crates - but they were let out for certain times of the day to play while the workers cleaned the crates... ANYWAY, on the floor there was one of those plastic hamster cages with one poor little hamster in it... the cats would smell the cage and watch it and bat their paws at the sides... I thought: "That poor stressed out hamster" when I saw that.... This reminded me of that feeling.
I love the colors that you chose... the blue background is cool, but feels warm at the same time 9there are hints of orange, is there an orange layer beneath?) The blue contrast well with the warm colors of the cats and the mice and bird... it really draws your eye to them, creates a sense of tension as well. There is something about the tone of all the colors that you chose... its vibrant but muted at the same time - its a wonderful effect. Sort of an art nouveau color palette.
thanks for the really nice coments!!! i love reading all of them ,, such a diversity !
laurasface;;;; but ,, yes there is an ornage layer below the blue , bits of it peek out mm causing a tension as you said..
and i put lots of time into just the right mix of color,,, for a psycological effect,,, hmmm cant give out too many secrets now!!! lol
whimsybatt,,, yes i like contasts,,, not just color or texture but also as you said joy and sadness too ,, or clean and dirty m new/old it makes for a tension that hopefully gets a viwers atention ,,
sunnysade ,, hmm yea phallic,,, yes ,,,, but plafull
villex... yes,, this is a painting from a series that were based on the way chilren draw,,, i will do more of these soon,,,
thanks this was sooooooo good, to read everything!!!
i am working on paintings that have odd combination of character and purpose,, like cartoonsih rabits on bicycles,, or snowmen weilding chainsaws,, or scarecrows with cigarettes.. any others??

-It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.-
