A very prosaic commentary. It seems that this is a general rule of life. Maybe not such a bad thing, it makes the world go round. The "flash" are sometimes the troublemakers. They burn brilliant, but burn out, and sometimes, they take others with them when they do.

Magritte...? C'est ne une pipe? (if I got that reference and the French, right;) (Forgive me~ I'm an American:slow: :rofl:) This is VERY FUN & CLEVER:!: :D...If a little snide...;) ...But, of course; that's part of the fun:)

I admire the succint phrasing, the "movement" (which; ironically is a bit fast for the turtle;):lol:), and the post-modern feel...:) A SUCCESS:!: :clap:

I have decided to go backwards...
Its obvious by this painting that you have always used symbolgy well. I would love to see it more in your painitngs...and I DO notice a big difference in your subtlty. You have it refined.
As for this painting....we all have a place, for some its middle- of- the- road...mediocrity is also the majority. But what I feel you are getting at is this world and the people in it...just dont even try.
That is a feeling I get alot of times from people taken as a whole.
The it occures to me that perhaps they ARE trying and this is the best.
I then become...afraid.
