I am really enjoying this painting. Great design and color choices.
I see a distinct "EYE" in the left bottom corner. Almost appears as if a creature of some exotic sort is hiding in a camouflage design. Very well presented. I am looking to seeing your other art work. May I ask what product did you find to prevent the Yellowing?
Thank you!

    Hello Monica, sorry for the delay. Of course I will tell you, it?s a KRYLON, crystal clear acrylic coating 1303. This particular one is in a spray paint can. I must warn you leave it outside for a few days if you do use it , it?s very smelly and gave my daughter and wife a headache because I brought them in too soon. Thank you so much for the time and the great review. John

I am not a abstract loving kinda girl but this is pretty cool. At first I hated it, then I liked the colors and textures. Then I started wondering how you did it.
Then in about 20 sec It won me over. That's the power of abstract isn't it. I like it a lot

    I?m happy it grew on you. And if you ask certain people they would probably say the same thing about me that you said about the painting. :) thanks for the time and the great review. John

    Lol thanks much. And actually I did make an attempt at singing this one but it got cut off. Oh and this stuff I sprayed on it made the fine tip sharpie I signed it with smeared. Oh well , it?s kind of cool. My daughter and I are still working with are sharpies. I have a couple of little sharpie drawings I will send for you to check out. I let Arden color in half. And happy turkey day if I don?t talk with ya. We have so much to be thankful for. Your the man. Thanks again John

    like every year im working turkey day.. thats the fun of working for Walmart. what sux is we get paid only regular hourly pay.. they get away with it cause they offer us a little extra discount. the catch is that discount is only good for 2 weeks then its gone. use it or you lose it. last few years i never used it cause lack of money. glad this is my last year. it's cool you and daughter are having fun with the sharpie. happy turkey day to you and your family!
Comment from Shadow catcher


A lot of movement and depth in this piece,I can see different moods,some very dark and angry,some perhaps sad or depressed,others bright and happy;a blending of emotions,one often leading to another as is often the case with mood swings. It also reminds me of fireflies dancing about on a summer's night,their lights leaving weaving trails thru the sky,breaking up the darkness and making it magical!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Its always nice to name abstract creations with psychological implications...

They always fit as they imply human state of minds...

Harmonious colors.
Filled up framing.
Fine features & smooth textures.

Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


This has a very strong initial impact due to the color range and application - this looks at the first moment like a digital creation with all these fine details and luminosity tat normally is created by light effects.
Being a painting it is beyond of perfection and the movement you created by your pattern and structures give me the impression that it is a huge water pool with many snakes in it who all have a light to share - fantastic detail work - perfect shadow and light application.
Your work is very harmonious and the busy part balances out by the light spots - well done, a very impressive work

    You are mostwelcome John - yes I did - I have become a digital artist and it is always nice to find new artists in the community as most are photographers
Comment from cleo85


The abstract is interesting. I like hoe the colors are curve through the painting highlighted with little shapes which are glowing like stars. The colors are intriguing. The painting is sufficiently framed. The composition is balanced.

Comment from alaskapat


I can see the mood swings in this John, the blues for me is a calm , peaceful mood, I like the way the blues are shown in the different tones, some very deep, the black is a darker , almost depressed mood, it also represents winter for me! The light tones just bounce off of this page, it's happy and hopeful, it is where the light is! I like the way you filled this page and love the way the light tones come forward! Nice to see you back on here! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Comment from Charlie Newman


I had a lot of vibes coming at me from this painting. Overall, I felt a lot of movement at different levels. It was gentle wavy movement that first captured my attention. Then the "elf-like" happy little spirits overtook my attention. Very appropriate title John. Continually flowing change like our moods.

    Thank you very much. I was thinking along those lines when I named it. It was all most named spider and a fly, but I have another painting that fits that title better. Thanks so much for the time and great review. John
