Unfortunately the pic is a bit dark. I called it salt because of the ploughed fields effect and the encrouching white. It is an extension of the "crop circles" theme, the original of which I posted ages ago. I actually think it looks better with the defined shapes at the bottom (rotate 1/4 turn clockwise?). What do you reckon?
50x60 marri resin, enamel paint, bitumen.

| I like it, it does remind me strongly of an airiel view of the salt lakes, & I agree that the 2 stronger shapes look better at the bottom. |

I really like the whole right third along the side.
Am I right in thinking where the white is a little blown out in the top leftish area - this is from flash?? And if so - does the rest resemble the effect that is happening along the right side??
If so I love it - would love to see this on a HUUUUGE canvas  I just love these sorts of things on huge, enormous canvas'  |

| Hi Lisa, the right side is now the top. It is quite different from the rest of the canvas because there is a more distinct marbelling effect. The marbelling effect is always striking but I thought a bit much repeated over the whole canvas. It is worth some experimentation though. I was thinking with a yellow. Big would be excellent - if only I could sell one or two to fund some more canvases. I am seriously going to have to attend to my storage issues if I go big. |

| You are totally right about too much marbelling being repetitive I didn't even think about that till you pointed it out! |

| To me it is balanced in its own random way... I like it and wouldnt change too much if anything. |

| So cheap as to be embarassing Stephan - $130. This neck of the woods is not art central and even less so - abstract art central. I have embarked on a mission to price low and get a few bucks together. |
