Purely a design feature. It's an artist's job to keep people on edge. So, this is probably as edgy as I get. But all in innocence, really.Nancy Packard Leasmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229382392060314040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765345588972764105.post-89708772173328376812010-01-11T10:04:48.498-08:002010-01-11T10:04:48.498-08:00Well, I'll tell you what Nan. You've posed...Well, I'll tell you what Nan. You've posed me a challenge this time (and I bet that will happen again). I think the long story surrounding the daily painting is terrific-it is engaging and amusing and interesting and takes me right into the heart of your experiences. Nice story- telling.<br />Then there's the painting. The colors are certainly vibrant and they portray very nicely on the close-up. Overall, the Jade Buddah with "sacred 'shrooms" floating in his vision is pretty graphic. I wonder if the visionary model-priest (or perhaps his painter) sampled the 'shrooms to get in the mood to sit for the painting (or to paint)? It is wonderfully adventurous and bold and ... um ... gee... interesting. <br />At my very advanced age, there is so little that challenges me any more ... no, wait, that's not quite true. And, beyond all that I also like the spirit that comes through the painting. I apparently remain confused<br />Love...JIMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441328016785682069noreply@blogger.com
