Belated Valentines

Flora Vs. Heart: Entangling Magnetism

Gifts (For Creative Tuesdays)

Over at Creative Tuesdays, this weeks theme is a parlay off the celebration one.  It is, of course, Gift.  Head on over and check out all the gifts prepared for you by the ultra-talented artists that contribute to Creative Tuesdays.  And while you're there, read the guidelines and join in.

A bit of a background for this piece.  I initially was going with the gifts under the Christmas tree idea, but then, I got to thinking, literally while I was putting the bulbs on the tree, that Gifts can be so many different things, and from there I came up with God and Country, partially due to a Smashing Pumpkins song that just happened to play while doing this, in which Billy Corgan, the lead singer, repeated God and Country a few times in the song.  From there Family was easy, as was love.  I have to admit, the last area remained empty for a while, which is completely ironic, as my workspace is filled with over 300 books, yet it took me a few days to come up with Knowledge anyhow.

In Syncope

The Middle Layer

Spent some more time today messing around with the Art Rage program and using some of the spray brushes from Mr. Paint.  Thought I'd go a bit abstract today, go figure right?  Anyhow I was trying to think of a world that exists above the dirt yet below the heart, where only confusion holds it together.  This universe is mashed together as it slowly escapes the tragic (off-screen) as it seems to becoming a comedy in and of itself. A potential tragedy in it's own right.  Anyhow just a little something on this rainy Wednesday, August afternoon.
