Two Abstractions

I recognise these might not mean much at all to anyone, but they do remind me of an experience of being in this building of light and angles, movement and stillness, the ancient and the modern.

The light made dark! The second resonates more with me that the first and I like it a lot. I especially like that you cannot determine the scale.

Rob I personally find Abstracts to be of the most emotionally moving images . It does not matter why or what. Hopefully the image says it all. We used to sit in a room once a week with a small group of four to five other fine art students and discuss our work we were doing at that time. In other words take in something to be, as usually was the case , argued over and verbally torn to threads. Al it really achieved was make you either crumble as some did or to make you strong enough to believe what you were doing. Some did not understand what is being shown. Those who practised always knew how to except an image and get the most from it. Those who studied on the academic side of fine art always pontificated as if they new something, which was nothing other than what others had told them about. I reckon to do anything, and take away a tiny something from whatever is enough.

Cheers, Julian. That's good enough for me.
