Reminds me of William Blake , dream like fantasy. Excellent picture.

It’s terrific Martin. Crammed with interest. From your description it sounds a fun way to work. Very imaginative.

Love this Martin. Fascinating imagery, especially the way components drift in and out of focus and merge together. Very distinct and interesting.

I think this is visionary and an ecstatic image probably one of the best pictures ive seen in many months

Superb! It has a sinister feel to it!!

Developed from marks on the paper then finding images, you certainly found them Martin. It has a strong mystic feel.

Reminds me of Blake too, I find it quite mesmerising.

Thanks very much for your wonderful comments. Really surprising and well appreciated

Mesmerising and somewhat eerie. Calling it 'Untitled' is quite clever - it leaves the interpretation to the viewer's imagination. I would love to hear how different people react and the feelings it invokes. My initial thoughts were a mix of religion / humanitarianism: 'The oppressed being led into salvation and enlightenment' by some kind of god-like saviour? I don't understand what the birds represent - freedom perhaps? Whatever the interpretation, it is a great painting.

Thanks for your perceptive comments Brian which hit the nail on the head. I was going to call it “The Healer” but that was only my interpretation of what appeared. The birds arrived like the other parts of the image. ie.) through their shapes being seen. I also see birds as freedom so subconsciously I may have been drawn to draw them in that way.

Charcoal and acrylic on lining paper. I had fun with this imaginary image which I developed from marks on the paper from dribbles of pale acrylic glazes. Your critical observations would be appreciated
