And I'm glad you approve of my website! I certainly have put a lot of work into it; I'll say that much. So I'm hoping this "new" direction will bear fruit before too much longer. I don't have so much free time as I did in previous years, But I will get things accomplished one way or another. Thanks, Marc,

As I am sure you have experienced, though all travels into the unknown beget uncertainty, almost any 'new' direction a mature artist takes will bear fruit. I have enjoyed looking at your work and your site off and on for several years. It is one of the best artist sites on the internet. Regards, Marc Robert:

Every bas-relief painting, and really, every artwork I create is a "sort of." And, that's the way I like them.

Am I finished with it? It will most likely morph into a new piece. So it's not exactly "unfinished." They often simply go as far as they can, and then I move to a new piece. Someone said that artists just abandon paintings. I don't think I've done that. I still think about this one, and all the work I did on it. It's alive inside me. Just call me Frankenstein!

And I am not necessarily talking about Photoshop art. Or in this case, Gimp2.6.6 (I can't spend $500 on Photoshop, or won't). I mean this direction of abstracting from nature...starting with a sort of a landscape thing, and really bending and shaping it until it's barely recognizable as that. Perhaps there are just a couple of threads left connecting it to the world we "recognize" as our little earth. This is a direction that greatly interests me.

I was rather happy with the results on this one, aesthetically speaking. Well, since it sold for a good price. But I would like to do another version. To be honest, I am not totally pleased with the "flower pot lightning boltage" thingie and the "house of whatnot" on the right side. I would like to take this basic shape and image and further abstract it into head scratching land. That's the place I like - where I don't quite know what I'm looking at, but almost.
