Lovely limited use of colour.

Thanks! It was a piece I worked on for a while, unsure where it was going - but it felt right when it got to this point.

Thank you, GHC! Always a question with minimal pieces - are they too minimal? This one seemed to work.

minimal is always maximal sir

Great work as always! Love the foggy background with the blue peeping through. And those words are perfect together.

Thank you! You always give my work such a good looking at. I really appreciate it. And those words - each set of three found as is - aren't they amazing? "Titanium fog" is my favorite.

Your work always deserves a good looking at - so many layers and possible interpretations. It's like peering into a really interesting dream.
Titanium fog is wonderful! A treasure find indeed.

That jolt of blue. Amazing how much a single splat can do in terms of drawing the eye around.

Thanks. It's all that's left of a whole blue underlayer which wasn't happening - so I covered it up then peeled back a corner - and it seemed to work! I have the strangest methods...

I do that a lot, actually. Not working? Cover it up!

Probably the cave painters did it!

Thanks, yes, that's what drew me to them, starting with those two metals.

yes you're right, no need to add anything more. it just works, those words connected together and the title.. the intention is important..
the titles too ( made me think of a discussion i was having with a dA friend the other day about the importance of titles.)
i still think they are a part of the work.

good afternoon, dear, and thanks!
i saw a discussion with Tristan about titles - if that's the one - i said something to him too. i agree with you - part of the work.

yes that was it.
i'm just preparing to leave for work, a little earlier today.
glad i could wish you a good morning before i leave

thanks very much, Liz. I tried adding more pieces, but it just didn't seem to work - there was a feeling here I liked.

If a piece works minimally it is best! No need to clutter it up. It is a lovely piece.

i've been contacted about the rights for a major beer commercial - but it's in the public domain, alas
