Dreamscape #7

CLICK HERE to see the "Dreamscapes" gallery in which this composite appears.

This is a variation on the calla lily/nude theme I started two days ago. To create it, I started with Dreamscape #5, deleted the figure, the white spider web on her bum, added a different figure and played with opacity, curves & contrast.

I feel like I'm riding a new wave here, the wave that rolls into creative abstraction. When I started this Dreamscapes gallery on April Fools Day I was going someplace else entirely, but the joke's on me! Art has a mind of its own: it always takes me where IT wants to go, not necessarily where I wanted to go. That's what I love about it. My own creative ideas are narrowly defined by what I've done or seen before. To go beyond that, I have to let go of my expectations and just ride the wave. Like a surfer, you catch a wave never knowing where it will take you, or how long you can stay with it before it throws you off into deep water. Well, let's see how long a ride I get this time...

How can a man or woman say what art means than once that it is contingent and ineffable, or beyond multi-variate/complex finite analysis. V.
