Where Escher dwells, scampering up and down staircases, giggling. A wonderful image to explore, sculptural and coy. The straightforward bottom center allows us to peek within the tornado, just enough respite before plunging right back in. I like the clean lines and the limited but sumptuous colors. A tightly controlled hallucination.

Incredible background of lights, sparks, deluge of stars. Mysterious stuff on the left, mysterious person on the right. Could that be Mrs. Claus cutting through Santa's workshop, the elves welding bikes and whatnot? Given the title, the scene is both grim and strangely joyous, a celebration of super-heated materialism and the incurrence of implacable debt. Exciting, ironic, beautiful and thought-provoking.

Terrific depth and light, and of course a refined sense of composition. The foreground shadow is marvelous, inky and inviting on a sunny day. The trees seem to be seen in infrared, lush participants in this urban scene which feels like a theatrical stage. Way to go, homing in on the everyday beauty only some can find.

I know the action focus is with the man standing in front of the ads, nicely placed as if being beheld by the two models. But what I find wonderful is the flat setting, street, sidewalk, doors and backing wall. It's quietly majestic, the shapes, tones and textures remarkably fitting together in joyous composition.

A musical movement of tones, textures and harmonic flow. The people, walking, biking and on the traffic light, are notes. Lovely how this complicated composition holds together.

With your help I can see the pansies. You have, however, created a mysterious and compelling image. It's like a visit to a Gypsy fortuneteller, two people huddled over a dish of entrails being read. Please don't take this as a slight, it's merely how your image transports one to charged and unknown realms. The heavy grain and disintegrating tones masterfully control the vision and understanding of the viewer.

Strongly symbolic. The cars, personal and expensive expressions of freedom and independence, and dangerous, are both figuratively and literally turned on their heads. Now torn asunder, immobile and stripped bare, at least the red car, they are modern memento mori. It's a powerful image. The wet area in the foreground, with colorful reflections and tire tracks, might imply the road that brought them to this pass. Tells a compelling story.

Hmm, looks fishy. Kind of a blanched watercolor x-ray or afterimage of a seafood dinner. But where's that little fish on the lower right headed? All speculation aside, it's a fascinating style applied to an unlikely, in my opinion, subject. I like it very much for its quirky subject and delicate watercolor appearance. Opens up new worlds.

Doesn't need a title. Interesting composition and division of darks and lights, with the snippet of tree on the right to supply balance. Of course it's the startling "Bite Section" stand that calls out for explanation. I'm guessing that it's what's left of an exhibition that had many similar stands, such as "Scratch Section", "Maul Section" and "Heebie-Jeebie Section."

Superficially, the point seems to be the play on the word "center" and then the skewered "C" and the lower cross-hairs. The sumptuous grain and rich purple offer greater interest and, for me, pleasure. I also like the red accents.
