This is a very great digital rendering. It is very hard to stay focused in hard times for sure! I love the message in this and it displays it very well. VERY BEAUTIFUL coloring. The lines and movement are very attractive Great job on this, I LOVE IT!

Comment from ADCPHOTO


This is such a great piece and thought provoking piece as well. When I first glanced at it, it looked like a religious painting, but after reading your description and looking closer at the work it is exactly what you have described.

The the staying focus is not all that is portrayed in this piece either. The focus on your life, goals and dreams aspect is definitely there with the eye and line of site to the clear sphere in the foreground. Though the distractions, and external forces are there as well. The details in the colors, such as butterflies, could symbolize beauty, and peace, the red and wavy lines could be death and uncertainty, there is a shape on the greenish color that looks like the earth, which could be all worldly sin, and happiness.

The other details and colors around before making it to the sphere in the foreground does give a sense of distraction and the challenges that present themselves before an individual before they can really focus on what they want, or stay focused on something they have sent out for! Thank you very much!

An vibranrt and impacting image
with good texture and detail
The eye looking onto the crystal ball, (I think) is well done and creates a sense of mysticism.
Loved the colours and designs you created here
Well done and good techniques used

It certainly looks like you had no trouble staying focused long enough to make this fine abstract. I love the simplicity, the complexity, the varied textures, the theme, and the overall impact and imagery of the piece.

LOVE this one, the rays, the colors, everything. Great job on multiple points of interest as well as contrast and the overall clarity. Great work on the sphere and general reality to surreal look. Well done

Comment from Angelheart The First


Oh shawn,this is so very neat and I'm sure that you know one of my favorite art styles!
It has a very mysterious look about it and the color palette is
just great.There is a lot to keep the eye busy here and you did a great job in getting
the point of the title across.This is no lie-I almost posted a work that I did called "Focus" this a.m. but something told me not to!
I like the framing that you finished it with also.
Great job as usual.
Angelheart :)

    Looks like our minds are running in the same channels...lol. Go ahead and post your work, I don't mind, the titles are different enough, Angel. Thank you for the great review on this, and I'm anxious to see yours!

    Yes they say,"Great minds run in the same direction" and here I thought I was loosing mine! LOL!! I already posted an autumn kaleidoscope today but will post the other sometime this week.You have a great day!! :)
reply by the author on 20-Oct-2008
    Either that or I have already lost mine...lol. I will be watching for it, Angel, so keep the title the same so I will know.
reply by the author on 20-Oct-2008
    PS. If you want to hear something really funny...this one is really titled "Focused" and something told me to change it just a hair. Weird!!
reply by Angelheart The First on 20-Oct-2008
    You got it.The title of mine is just "Focus" :)
reply by Angelheart The First on 20-Oct-2008
    2 letters off the title of mine! LOL :)

I really like this one. I love your imagery here as it is compelling and forces the viewer to contemplate. Beautiful colors and use of light as well.
