I didn't want to make two different threads for these two related paintings.

The smaller one I did first, and liked the thoughts and processes that went into it. So I decided to do a second one with some slight changes.

They are meant to be hung in any orientation.

Reflections is 18" x 24", Reflections II is 36" x 24" - both using acrylic paint.

There are so many kinds of reflection, ways to reflect, things to reflect on. These paintings were my form of meditations on Reflection.

I must say that I think these are the best I've seen from you.

Of course, this is subjective, but there it is.

I love your colour choices. The one on the right is the most alluring to me.

I so very much enjoy how your art is more than a quick glance - it is a full experience. This simply proves the point, and I keep turning my computer.

Agreed. I love how there is something new to see every time I look at a kramus piece, something I didn't notice before.

Lovely work, kramus--thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

Hey Baraka, I know that some pieces work for some folks, others for others. Actually lots of my own stuff doesn't always work for me. And yet I have had some people get seriously moved by just those artworks that I thought left something to be desired. Thanks for the comment. It is all grist for the mill

Hi settie. The colour is always a really involved thing in these paintings. I'm glad you like the way it turned out.

Thanks GH and Charlatan for the kind words. It is important to me to hear that folks are looking and enjoying. Even though I'm getting my work seen more often these days it still is a real thrill to hear a positive comment.

Thanks amonkie and Snowy It is nice to have fans like you - group hug ((( )))
