Marvellous Derek and your description gave me a quiet chuckle

I can see this being suitable for a book jacket illustration, quite dramatic.

Thanks dennis and Stephen. I will show it to him if the novel takes off.

Really great - the only thing that puts me off is it's title - more please.

Disconcerting title, lovely image.

Reminds me of my skiing accident five years ago - big crash and torn ACL. Love the abstract - it's a bit gruesome, but it gets the point across very eloquently.

Oh dear, no blood then thank gooness Thea. Various folk on the other forum are passing comment on the scene too, abstract or not.

Ideas for a crime novel I was discussing with a pal, spurred on by me telling him my wife is on the slopes this very moment. NO CONNECTIONS, HONESTLY I used an image of the old drag lift and did the abstract with only the edge of a discarded credit card and the remains of what's on the palette. 20 x 15cm on a piece of rough watercolour paper.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
