Sorry for the long delay in responding. I have put the paintings face to the wall for a while in order to refresh it in my eyes.
I'm glad you like the way it is developing little_tippler
You mentioned earlier it was busier and more varied in the colour treatment than you found effective. I remember from years ago how I would pour hours into a flawed piece and that would overwhelm a lot of viewers, make the work seem better than it was. I hope that this isn't an outpouring into a flawed work, but the natural growth of the piece as I explore it.
Thanks genuine girly and Troit for taking a look. I do tend to tuck things into pieces that I spend a lot of time on. They often are outgrowths of barely formed ideas which take a more solid presence as I work. The water has yet to be touched, and I am not really sure how much it will change/multiply from the look it has now. Perhaps an extension of the sky motif, maybe not. Not sure yet.
I had to look up Perelandra Ring. Sounds like a visual image feast.
Thanks Matthew Vita
I like "beautiful and majestic" - sounds like the effort is becoming more effective.
Thanks again everyone for the comments and critiques.
