Tout simplement superbe!
Merci, Eric!
Unquestionably, an abstract work, lets hear what answers our inner sense of intimate things.
I have read of a Samurai, isolated and alone, that he shook in his being alive, looks to the future of his time.
Me a lot of attention.
Ink on paper, just like the insignia of Bushido, which were written in black ink on a sheet of paper created, processed and bleached it on purpose.
Go through an art gallery, like this, gives me those few moments of relaxation, arising from the kindness of a painting.
Good evening.

Good morning dear Ninni Raimondi.
As always I’m overwhelmed by your interpretation.
I can’t express how much I appreciate it!
Thank you very very much,
Marina
Just beautiful!
Thank you, Karen!
Marina you really have control of this medium resulting in some exciting work.
You are too kind, Walter! This is quite a compliment for an artist! Thank you!
Were you in a bad mood when you painted this one? That looks like a Capuchin in the trees at night.
…”Capuchin in the trees at night”?!!! I love that! Well, I think it was me addressing ink and paper: you will do what I tell you, or else!
sometimes we prefer to reduce color, we like monochrome walls, especially if we need some solitude, ignoring the riots outside of our home …
Monochrome, to me, is like the melody line in music, which is the base for orchestration [: colour]. Therefore one has to be much more focused …enter soltude, which I prefer to call silence! You’re right!
Lots of energy! Looks like the aftermath of a tiger attack or something… Very compelling… I think I’ll be staring at this one for a while…
Well, I can tell you there was a battle alright! Thanks Charlie!
Ha ha! 🙂
Hmmm…very intriguing! I like it, I’ve looked at it a while, I don’t have an interpretation, but it’s nice.
Thank you, Fergie!
I’m back (actually for the third time now) There is something so magnificently primal about this image. For some reason it makes me feel the same connections as reading William Blake’s poetry.
I’m very glad you came back to it, Terry and even more so that you enjoyed it! This -along with ch. #20- is one of my faves. [I can see the connection… ]
Love the Asian influence of this piece. It’s very artistic, a blend of simplicity that is striking. 😀
Pink.
Thank you, Pink. I’m glad you like it!
Within the parts of this painting, I see a pick, a four-legged creature wearing with the hood on the head, and a bat (the creature). Though something tells me this is not what the painting is about at all. Overall, the piece is very interesting and will keep me looking at it for a good while…as abstract should. Well done!…You have keeps me here staring at it.
Wow! I am glad it keeps you here! Thank you dear Deb!
I really like this. I can’t find the words to explain why. This will take a few more visits before I can come to terms with it – in the mean time – well done. I always think it’s good to have work that is not easily defined.
Thank you very much Terry! The fact that you like it is more than enough [and very pleasing] to me. I hope you do come back to visit!
Ι see an eye crying.
He doesnot want to be rejected but you rejected him. He does not wish to be deleted but you deleted him. Therefore.. the pain
…more or less! Thank you, Dominique!!!
Sedate and intriguing! Thank you.
Thank YOU, Dilip for your comment!
Love the design. Interestingly, in my short time here this is the first painting i’ve seen you do with gray (as opposed to much color).
I’m glad you like it, Frank. May sound strange, but I am actually very much a BW person! Before working on anything, I do lots of black ink drawings & roughs and then go to colour.
Thanks for the explanation … 🙂
excellent blog and nice colors.
