That’s a very interesting image Tessa. If you hadn’t explained the context….an intriguing abstract.

Thanks Marjorie. Yes it’s very abstract and intended to be. I wondered what people would make of it!

Indeed interesting. The title makes it very poignant. I like it.

Many thanks Fiona.

The picture and colours work very well, the abstract style shows the destruction 👌

Gotta love some impasto!!! Lovely :) 😊

Thank you John. Yup impasto is the thing!

Nicely done!

Thank you Romila.
