[Daisy Mae]

All C&C welcome.

Sharon, I am trying to figure this one out.

All may not approve to surrealism/ abstraction to this extent..... i enjoyed it and the nicest part of it is the framing that accentuates the subject
Well done

[Bobobird]

Ha, now we are getting somewhere!

A really bad one. It is so bad that I like it.

[Stagecoach]

Ah, leaning on the handrails as the ship leaves berth outward bound to sea, guessing when you are going to see land next and wondering when your head is ever going to stop feeling so rough from last nights run ashore.

Having spent almost an entire career at sea I can readily equate with the moodiness of this image Sharon.

Grahame

You got it!

I am embracing the 'grain'..no..not the golden nectar type!

[Mike Buckley]

You might be disappointed to learn that whatever realism you built into it doesn't work for me simply because I don't see it even now that it has been explained. On the other hand, you might be thrilled to learn that it works for me very well as an abstract.

What realism I built into it?

When I said that Grahame had 'got it' I meant that he had found an interpretation for it that worked within his experience and that he enjoyed.

I get something totally different .....and you like it as an abstract, which is exactly what it is.

It's a bunch of shapes, some grain and a mood. Everything else comes from the viewer.

[Mike Buckley]

Ahhhhhhh. Now I understand your perspective.

[Daisy Mae]

Ahhhhhhh. Now I understand your perspective.

Good..now can you please explain it to me..slowly.

[Mike Buckley]

I can explain everything except your thread title. That's what threw me off. Notice how I blamed you rather than looked in the mirror.

Ah hell Mike..am used to that..I think they call it marriage.

I have often said that I would never give anything I do a title if that were possible.

I only own an image until I post it somewhere and then it makes a life of its very own.

[rpcrowe]

Sharon, your style is marvelous. I enjoy your images immensely. Have you ever thought of an exhibit of large prints?

[jamn4ex]

Yes Sharon is pure genius.

[travis4567]

I don't get it but I can't stop looking, I guess that makes a good image yes??

[ajsmith]

Another cool image. I can see the "Ship to Shore" thing going on.

It is interesting that having read a title prior to viewing the image my mind found a nautical connection in what I see. (While I spent but 4 years at sea it made a huge impression on me.) I think it would be fascinating to read reactions to such an abstract image if it were posted again with a different title. I like this sort of thing where my brain gets to fill in the story.
