This picture doesn't look like anything until you get back from it. Amazing painting. Grand Rapids had an Art Prize competition earlier this month. The Grand Prize was a quarter million dollars.

Good contrasting colors you used in this one Naomi.

I should have told you about the contest. This might have taken one of the prizes! They will do it again next year.

This is as excellent as the Grand Prize winner was.

I would much like to see this in person. The brushstokes are very tactile - powerful and fluid.

It is GOOD. I think it could have won a prize up here.

Thanks, guys! Sorry I missed all of these comments-I had work in 3 shows this weekend. :D

You guys want the truth? I had NO idea what this was going to be while I was painting it so there was no concept (sorry to disappoint). I just painted it & had to (as Captivevet suggested) stand back after wards & figure out what the heck it was. I know, it's weird. But it's the truth. That's how all of my paintings happen.

Oh, and it's not brush strokes. I did that with my fingers. p:

Thanks to Scott, Angeliki, Prince, Pam, Yooperprof, Captivevet for all of your amazing compliments & insights. They mean a tremendous amount to me. flirt
