Very different but yet still true to your style. Not sure I am a fan of this one but very technically well done. Colors are wonderful and the concept out of the box thinking. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Easton Bay


What a delightful and fun piece this is! An intricate acrylic that grabs your attention and doesn't let go.
The colors are wonderful and seemingly infinite in number.
Many characters here don't appear to be holding on to much except the one with the bird. A riotous environment indeed.
Viewing your artwork often seems like taking a Rorschach test. Are you a psychologist posing as an artist?

    Like Jung?? I don't think so. Just an artist on a journey some times, sharing where he has been and where he is headed. A little mind fodder anyone. Ha ha! I am so glad you enjoy it. There is a lot of my history in my pieces. Did you notice the naked firefighter in the broken glass tub, guess who?? Center stage. You have to see to enjoy. I am so glad you see. Thank you for the wonderful review and support. Ray

So many figures in this and drinking and everything but again slightly confused with title bird in the hand and is worth two in the bush [unless thats the name of the bar/pub but there is a lot to take in...Brian

    All these ideas came together at once. Just an accumulation of thoughts and ideas. One of the subjects shows a bird in the hand and thus the title. Thank you for your fine review. Ray

So much going on here, there's a lot of detail to enjoy and I bet it was a lot of fun to create. It's busy and chaotic- maybe that's how a traders mind works! Enjoyable to view and review.

Comment from Zilyram


A very busy painting so much to see with the cakes and drinks and people of all ages intermingling.
Colors once again are blended and used well to bring life to the artwork.

An interesting image posted here of a group of people who seem to be enjoying a party? One figure seems to be being rude? Textures, colours and tones are good. Well painted!

    Thank you for your fine review. The person that you think is being rude it a plaster and the base of one of his stilts is showing as they hang in front of him.I will mention it to him. I am glad you enjoyed it. Ray

This abstract painting challenges our perception and encourage us to see the world in new and unexpected ways. It's not what we see, but what we feel. Thanks for sharing a fine work.

    I am so glad that you enjoy this surrealistic party scene. Thank you for your familiar insight of abstract painting. Ray

That 'reason' you mentioned is,like,'going over the top of my head'.Ray!
But that doesn't mean I don't like this colorful Abstract creation and the interesting 'Softly Psychedelic' vibrations that it's projecting!
This is Cool,my friend!

    Thank you Sean for your fine review, I am glad you like it. In the picture is a hand holding a bird. I was a trader for a while and a reason for selling is a bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush. Ray
