Yes .... actually .... I had many thoughts when I made this one ..
I had a lot of thoughts in my head from some comments scott and
I had back and forth about socialism and unions ..
So even it might look a bit innocent ... I put all of my thoughts
into this painting.
Like ... to be free or to change something that is bad ... it takes
very often ... wars and revolutions ... that is why there is the
explosion that makes the cage open up .. and at the bottom of
the cage you see the ones not surviving ...

I saw that.. Freedom is a precious thing.. It's sad that there are people in this world who don't believe that..

Maybe they believe that freedom is a precious thing ... at least some
but they do not feel they can do what it takes to get it.
Fear of not succeeding the battle .. and maybe ending up worse.
And it is like people are more and more afraid ..... it is not often
you hear of strikes .... but are the conditions so good now ... that strikes
are not needed any longer ? ..... Or is it fear holding people back ?

It's fear.. Fear of losing what little they have..

I really believe you are right ........ fear is always the root to all bad really ....

that it came out in this picture I guess ... LOL

This is one of your best works, I feel. You've used the digital world as your brush. The emotional content comes through in a very real sense.

I am happy you think this is one of my best ...

I can see the trouble you went to, not so much the trouble you had. There isn't often that brilliant colors work in a piece, but you made them. I'm interested to know your original feelings that this developed into.

hmm yeah ...you see .... I had given myself the task as to make a blue-picture
as I do not often make bluepictures. And very often if a picture is made of only
blue colors ... it will look flat ... or it is like something is missing ..
at least when I make a blue one I feel that way .... even I often love when others
are doing it ... very weird but true !!
So there I was ... to make a blue picture ... still using other colors ...but still
so you would also call it blue. Not completely sure I accomplished that though ..
Slowly it developed into something that finally gave me the idea ..
You know .... I had just had a conversation with another artist here on DA
about unions ... and how they have a say in some countries and no say in
other countries. How it is the people that are not just to bow and be pleased
with the situation but MUST do something ... to get a change ...you need
to demonstrate --- complain ..... make the press maybe work on your side
too !! Maybe it takes a revolution ... sometimes to make a major change
it takes wars ... or very bad times. Hence the explosion in the cage ..
at the bottom of the cage you see the birds that did not make it
The rose symbolizes socialism ... at least that is the symbol we use in
Denmark for socialism. Normally it is a bloodred rose we use .. here
it is a bit mixed in the colors .... symbolizing that the people are not
yet totally achieving socialism ... but they get free ... the survivers at least -
yeah the ones dying do get another kind of freedom too of course.
The blue bird .... gets its freedom .... but is kind of blended in with
the cage-door ... meaning .... it is free ... but is not yet really realizing it !!
So all the colors ..... is all the mixed feelings in this ... some see the freedom
they achieved by making all the fuzz ... others that get the freedom because
of others doing the tough work for them --- and then the ones that are still
confused ... The socialism down in the corner .... not all awaken yet ...
but about to be born ...
Hmmm ... normally I do not interpret my paintings .... I did when I was young
--- not really getting the viewer to have a say LOL .... if they saw something
different ... I corrected them ... As I grew older .. I realized that it is not good
to do so. Everybody sees their own thing ... and they should be allowed to
do so .... so they get their own personalization of the picture ...
But you asked for it .... LOL ..... so you got it ! ...

You know... I had a friend who died not too long ago, Rudolph Baranik. His work, for the most part was in the political statement arena. Not many years after Vietnam, he found and was appalled that there was still war going on there and in Cambodia. He had me name a series for him. I called it Cambodian Elegy.
This piece could convey your statement with a title like Union Dues - Paid. Though it's important to let people decide for themselves how to feel about a piece, it's yours. Your statement, your emotions that you're expressing. I find it a much more appealing piece, with the socio-political statement attached, than just as a pretty, almost abstract piece.

You are right ..... from being one that always want to pressure my visions
on people .... I have now gone totally opposite and I am never saying anything
of why or feelings - - about my pictures.
Maybe this one in peticular needs some explaining ....at least to tell my
thoughts that were in my head while painting this ..
I will try and do more of that in the future ... in peticular on pictures that
have a much deeper meaning that is easy to see for almost anyone.

A thing that's lovely to behold, needs itself alone.
Where pain and anguish must be shown.
A tale of woe do tell.

And ... thank you .... is it really mine ! ..

If it were to be mine, I'd have posted it as some sort of deviation, or journal. No, it's yours!
Let's call it stocks!

I love the impressionistic feel of it.It is very dream like.The cage itself appears to be vague.I suppose it could be taken as the release of thoughts now allowed their freedom.I think this would be from the mind of an artist.
