"I take solace above the trees. This is where I am the most at piece."

I've been working on a lot of introspective pieces lately. I had a vague idea of the final outcome before I started this piece. Sometimes I let the painting take charge rather than me trying to mold it too much. I put my brain in to cruse control mode, so I don't do too much thinking, and watch what I come up with. A lot of times I'll watch TV while I paint so it gets me thinking about other things. It's funny, a lot of subconscious thoughts and feelings come through when I work this way. I often surprise myself. It's definitely subjects I like to paint, it just happens to be scrambled in ways I didn't expect. I'm still trying to figure out what this painting means to me. I'll have to ask a shrink:) ha!

I'm sure global warming and the recent weather disasters are coming through to this picture. Lost of depressing things in the news lately, droughts, and fires where I live. The sky is gray with ash.

Hi CB

But is that Robot all bad? - perhaps he is just looking for a friend to play with!

I like this image and the style you have used. You obviously have your own thoughts on the story but its mood, colour and design invite the viewer to add their own interpretation to some extent. Perhaps its the approach you took when you created it, but I think some more work of this manner would be worth doing (i.e. leaving a little ambiguity).
