Don, good eye here. I can see the abstract figure too…

I see a hummingbird. And the X-ray of my worn-out spine. Good seeing and presentation in whatever case!

This holds my attention a long time. I see a number of plausibly recognizable shapes, but that is between me an Dr. Rorschach. More strongly, it stimulates (or relaxes) me as an interesting display of shapes I cannot name, but somehow belong on the same page. As abstract, art, I think that makes this quite a successful work. Interesting choice of warm sand tone, which seems to allow the shapes to not be starkly separated by white BG.

Paul, Diane, Dick, thanks for commenting.

I like this. Reminds me of Japanese calligraphy and it’s beauty.

Thanks, Igor.
