Comment from nonarom


Your comments are funny, but the image is really interesting - symbolizes the division of mind, the doubts, the worries, the mixture of thoughts. I like the colors very much, the frame adds much to the story and the question mark as well.

It is said a busy mind is a happy mind ...never bored. Love the unique way you have illustrated how your mind works. The collage showing different thought processes each in its' own section. The window frame is one way to contain these many thoughts in a safe eviroment. Great collage...continued success.

Comment from HumbleRoots


There is a surreal quality to this work, the upper two panes of glass give the impression that the person in the window is actually sitting there, but the lighting is different than the sky in the upper two panes. The 4th pane, lower right, actually takes on the same sky like quality of the upper two. Nicely captured.

    Thank you very much for your complimentary review. The surreal effect is intentional. The silhouette symbolizes person thinking [my self] about a work of wile the other three sections symbolizing different thoughts and a certain unsureness how to do the required work. ~Sorry for being late
Comment from Details


I like when you create work like this.

Your mind appears to be divided into four quadrants - two of which are clear and focussed - two which seem unsure and slightly doubtful. The four merge together and make a framework for a lovely piece of art.

Very nicely done cleo, best wishes for the contest.

    Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. It's exactly as my mind works when doing artwork clear and focused at one moment and unsure and doubtful the next.
    Sorry for being late. Just catching up.

Expressive, complex, ignimatic and very impressive, not I am not describing my self, I am describing your very interesting posting. The story telling is clear and the initial impact is well appreciated

Your choice of textures and colors is superb. I did not expect anything but the best from you anyway since your work is so artistic ands expressive.

Thanks for sharing

Good creativity shown here with good impact, details, colors, story telling ability, too. I think it represents all the aspects of trying to plan out what art you want to show...very nicely done.
