I keep thinking of marine creatures. In an evolutionary sense like the creature who emerged from the sea and had not yet fully become at one with the earth? Or yet had the wisdom to put a furry coat on to stay warm and dry itself, so just remained cold and frozen and shivering in the breeze. As cold blooded became warm blooded only to become cold and inactive, also like millions of fish or even spermatazoa just before its revieled that actually, they ain't gonna quit make it much past the starting gate and have to disappear back into the life cycle of fodder to emerge as another entity within another dimension further down the path.
However i also see a hesitation or an astute awareness to wait for the right moment to leap forward to something only you/it/they/i may know.
Don't leave it to late. Lol
The texture caught my eye and made me smile as well, to me it shows the richness of your soul.
Well there ya go, it aint mean't to be a critique just my devious thoughts.
Beautiful work fantastic colours etc etc i could go on, but you've probably had enough by now Hheheheh!
Congratulations on such a fine work.

Thank you very much. That's a very interesting interpretation, kinda like a transformation, metamorphoses, or a transmutation. The paint is thicker, the way I used to do it. Thanks for the Fave.

Transmutation thats it. Sometimes it takes me ages to say the simplist of things.

Wow!! What a change from your usual vibrant colors on black!! I love the subtlety(is that such a word, we have soo much snow here I think my mind is clogged

Thank you very much Rachel. Funny you mentioned snow. I worked on that painting for a few weeks and it's the first white one I ever did. The night I finished and signed it it snowed. It almost never snows here. Thanks for the Fave.

I love the subtle use of color and almost classical feel this one has. Classical, and still very odd. Almost cultish. Meant in a good way, or course.
Definitely a

Tanks for the Fave, I'm glad you think it looks classical yet cultish (I like cultish).

looks like something painted on the ceiling of a church on jupiter.
the title reminds me of a song called "the reflecting god" by marilyn manson.
excellent work, brother.

Mark. It looks thick. I like the gentle form/figure with the rough, pasty paint. Very nice for sure. Hope life is great man1!!!!!

Thanks, I always liked really thick paint with lots of texture, that's one of the reasons I like your work so much. Everything is going pretty good for me. What about you?

OoOoOohh, now this is gorgeous! Quate a departure form your usual style methinks.
The subtlety of the colours and the definition of the torso are uber amazing.

Neat. Cool muscle definition of his arms. His right fingers are weird though. Not in an, "Oh neat style!" way, just in a distracting way.

The title sounds almost like Nietzsche ("When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you").
