I really like the way you bring the bright colors forward to represent the light and such positive energy to replace the negative and the darkness. The colors are working together so well to bring glimmers of hope. This is very calming to view , we all need to stay very positive and hopeful , the good will always win over the evil , I really appreciate that you have expressed this in this piece. As I sit here and study it, I can actually see glimmers of hope.
This is such a pleasure to view! Thank you for sharing it!

Comment from Way West


This is an uplifting work Ray! I love that it portrays the sunlight so well and the fantastic colors remind me of a heavily forested area where there are many different types of plants growing. Abstract is so wonderful because it can be whatever the viewer wants to see. Well Done!!

    Jodi, it is so nice to know that you understand and enjoy abstract and your review tells me that. Like you I post proud, if I don't like it, I won't post it. To me it is so much fun and satisfaction to create something and have others see what I see in it. Ray

This abstract is indeed a mood changer. The viewer relaxes and get happy just by looking at your artwork. The colors and how they mingle makes me think of a summer day in a beautiful garden where the sunlight dapples through the foliage of the trees. Your artwork is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Nice creation here Ray! It is a relaxing piece to view. The varition and balance of cool colours over the small areas of warmth both adds depth and emotion. The cool greens layered around the edges are soothing. Thanks for sharing

Yes. Certain colours are known to influence our well-being and stimulate positive emotional responses. When colour is transmitted from the eye to the brain, the brain releases a hormone affecting the emotions. The positive colours dominate your abstract work. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Sean T Phelan


LOL! What 'future'?
( I'm a tired old man! )
I'm enjoying this cool abstract that you've presented us with though!
For some reason it makes me think of the semi-supernatural 'Plant Elemental' character who called herself 'Lady Jane' who'd turn up in the old 'Swamp Thing' comic books many years ago!
Excellent!

    Thank you Sean, so much for setting me up for this. Feeling like an old fart, tired and weary. Out of shape and in pain and lost the love of Lady Jane, who happened to show up in the swamp all wet and damp. Laying in the gutter all mired and ripe, twisted and miffed, deep down inside, pick up yourself and take look at The Bright Side. Thank you Sean for the fun review. Ray

    You're very welcome,Ray!
    ( 'Lady Jame' turned out to be a rather Dangerous character! : ) )
Comment from Jewell McChesney


Ohhh that peace that passes all understanding. I like to portray such a nuance in my work as well. But this is about YOU. Lol
I really like this. Reminds me of the same technique in yje last one I reviewed.
The color green means life to me, representing growth. So I find this appealing to tje eye and spirit. The layered look is creative and the color balance, awesome!

    Thank you for the wonderful review. The last one Crystal Green and The Bright Side were created 22 years ago on the same day. Like you, I like working with green, the color of life and its complementary colors red and orange, depending on the shade. I am so glad you got a chance to see and like The Bright Side. Ray
