Description "Labyrinthine - Spring" 13x4 inches - original painting ($255.00) and prints ($10.00) and detail closeups available: www.shadowscapes.com/image.php...

It is the ripening of apples,
crisp and shiny red against lush verdure.
It is the tangle, the exhultation of
wasteful growth:
an explosion! Profusion!
That declares: I AM ALIVE!

This is tremendously evocative for me. I had a playlist on my old phone cycle into a song with a similar title to your piece, and it had a portion which slowed down the voice to a point where I woke up to my speaker sounding possessed!!!! This is a dark image and I think back to that night now (thank goodness my mind is resistant to PTSD) LOL I like your passage by the way. You know there is a motif of entropy, isn't there? Your passage speaks of a defiance against entropy, an impulse to order, no more "wasteful growth" and in my experience, it was the reverse, it was an ordered voice disintegrating into the unrecognizable, and slamming into the reptilian part of my brain. I can't tell ya how freaked out I was when I woke up!

(Just so you know, apples ripen in the fall. In the spring, they're just flowers.) They could still be berries of some kind though, as long as we're talking late spring.


I love this series though. Great textures. They'd make lovely bookmarks as well.

Beautifully done!
The textures are great. I like e long vertical composition. I am seeing so much symbolism. Excellent art making!!!!!

Beautiful. Far more abstract than your usual work, but I think that is a nice change. It gives us as watcher a closer view to your painting techniques. I love the use of contrast
