There is one other artist here I can say this of: :iconshunter:, look at her "Grow and Decay II" [link] yep.....indeed....Heaven.
This is where our dreams come from...this is inside of each of us...and you two are truly very gifted to show us these unbelievable INsights!

You are welcome for the comment and favorites and thanks for liking my website.
I am very interested in the evolution of your abstract surreal graphite pieces.

I mostly hangout at Facebook. Look me up if you are also on Facebook.

"A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants." -- Tao Te Ching

Bravo -- your expression is masterful and captures a sublimity of depth and beauty.

Beauty is something I have found sadly absent from much, or most, of what is proffered under the banner of surrealism. Rather, it seems that the grotesque and morbid are en vogue. In some cases this may be an honest expression of what we are, and true to the history of the surrealist movement; in other cases it seems like gratuitous mimicry. Perhaps, in the spirit of the Tao Te Ching, we must become beautiful before we can unintentionally, or intuitively produce what is beautiful; provided we also have some mastery of the medium. It may even be accurate to speak of transcending the dualism of artist and medium, such that the graphite and paper become extensions of the artist.

Anyways, forgive my verbosity in expressing the path I have attempted to embark upon recently in my own work. Mind you, my feeble attempts thus far have been more the recapitulation of ingrained forms than pure expression. I have a dozen or so completed pieces in the queue that I hope to gradually upload as part of an anthology of this journey.
