Rick was out making art and I was left with this. It was like that all day.
I liked the subtle interplay of lights and darks, textures and colors. :rolleyes:

Kinda flat and dull compared to the rest of your work.....? The patterns here are nice, but the stuff that is lacking is, to me, pulling the rest on the image down with it.

ART, Mark...think ART in this one! :wavey:

I know, Rick, I can see the subtle metaphors for life and all of it's attendant suffering, the ever shifting alliances of friends and emotional response. I guess Jeremy simply is not on the same level of art interpretation and appreciation as you and I are.
:rolleyes:

To me, this looks like a metaphor for the remainder of life's journey represented as an uphill battle, especially with the subtle tire tracks in the upper left. Trying to avoid driving toward the white light (255,255,255! perfect for the end of life) but at some point realizing that the hill is too steep, accepting fate, and turning right. Pretty deep stuff, better than pretty postcards. :wink:

Exactly what I was trying to say, Swami!

Wow....I didn't realize that I was so shallow. Thanks for helping me see the 255,255,255. :frown:

Got me... :razz:

On no, you're not shallow, Jeremy, this art stuff is hard!

I was thinking that those tracks were from something alien - the beginning of crop circles, but the white sky must have confused them into believing they were on the wrong planet... :wink:

We are all nothing but just a sagebrush in the empty medow of life..........
