Henry David Thoreau
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Excellent! This could be a famous book cover or album cover me thinks.

I was influenced by your book (box) cover .. not so much that I borrowed it but it sent my mind into looking at contrast in expression. So much so I came up with a couple of ideas for paintings .. thank you.

Oh, yeah! Dark, mysterious, silhouette, purple....this whole thing is rocking!!! Wow!

I like pretty much everything I've seen from you, but this one might be my favorite of yours.

Knife marks, contrast, hue, you got it all here. Powerful painting.

Wow. Blown away with all the response. Seems not many post in Abstract and Contemporary so it's nice to see people looking in.

Thanks all for the feedback and likes.

Wayne, I'm so glad my book could inspire something in you in some way.
