…but what I had ordered.
Mother nature didn’t see what I’d had in mind, so I had to help her. Better late than never.
Proof that Rothko made his mark on me.

If nature does not serve me what I had in mind, I do not hesitate to play with her recipe.

Are we forever changed when an artist “makes his mark on us” as if we are all a human canvas?

I don’t think you need to prove that Rothko inspired you. In any case, this one is interesting for the complexity of the colors. One wants more light or luminosity somewhere, and since it isn’t there, one has to get deeper into the colors themselves. They’re balanced beautifully. Anyway, that’s my experience with this.

Thank you very much that’s exactly what I intended. More and more and more I’m breaking things down to the essence. That involves me working out just exactly what is the essence?

I like what you made of what you were served.. Sometimes that is why condiments are important. 🙂 At first glance there are two colors. As we get more intimate with the image all the others present themselves in a subtle feast for the eyes.

I always try to include a lot of subtle more in my less. Thank you.
