just love this. The tonal variations and earth tone family--the images abound in this--all kinds of good stuff going on in this

Really cool and moody. Seems like an underground cavern, hot with lava, where some ancient treasure is hidden.

This is a nice artwork, I think. It blends the look of a cave drawing with the look of patina on old architecture. The oscillation of warm and cool earth tones pulses the eye across the intriguing textures.

The mirrored shapes are like clouds to see things in...I see the heads of minotaurs and satyrs, flowering trees, and small roses, among other things.

The color and texture work together to draw me to the beacon flash that is the center. Zoomed out this is a pleasing tile; zoomed in the pools and hollows of green, blue and violet are hidden treasures revealed.

Nice mixture of trad and digital.

Wow. I'm not sure which I'm more inclinded to hear spoken of as art... the piece you were commenting on (thaks by the by. ) or the comment itself. Thanks for your lovely description, what a cool and imaginative things you see... I only wish I'd been intending them
