Artist's Comments

Acrylic, 16X20 (on a much painted over canvas).

I wasn't initially sure about including this in the Jie series, but as I have lived with it for around ten months it seems to fit. I dislike the gratuitous use of skeletons, skulls, and the like (only in Epilepitica One have I deemed it fitting, by whatever internal and infernal criteria that clomps around within my psyche), and I was concerned that I found myself including one here, but certain world events following it's completion gave it an almost prophetic appropriateness.

Thanks for looking :pumpkin:

The sky looks good. Acrylic is something terribly challenging for me. :( Nice work.

As always, I look with both an artists eyes and my own terrible sense of humor. As and artist, Danny it is wonderful, very flowing and great use of cool (green, purple and blue, not 'cool' like grovey) colors, and good circular eye movement from the viewers prespec.

As a weird humored soul, I keeping thinking how bad I feel for the skeleton who just got into the jacuzzi and now has to talk about art, not a moments rest even in death, damn painters. lol

Yes, I am a big weirdo...

Much huggy, painty love-

I love your Jie Xia series very much and yes, I think this one fits. I see this series as cycles, periods, changes, as life in many possible ways, because they have multiply symbolism for me. Yet I don't think that this is the end of series as some may think.

Amazing as usual. I wish I could see these paintings in person. I cant imagine how anyone could paint anything like that in acrylic, the medium always feels so rough to me... yet you make it silky and watercolorish. Man.. you're good. lol

i quite like the concept of the cars tumbling down the wave like driving down a hill.

true, it's oddly fitting considering certain events.

the skeleton looks like it's made out of copper rather than bone..
