Carol, I don't know if you're ready to read long comments yet (I've seen you comment in the last week---incl to me, for which I thank you very much---but I don't know how much energy you have yet.) So I'll start commenting tonight, and do more through the next week or so; and you can read these whenever you can. I'll try to get a variety too, since you have so many styles.

This is awash in deep saturated oranges. And they're in contrast with your many greens and green-blues. (Again, opposites/near-opposites, on the color wheel; natural contrasts which the Impressionists loved to use to create luminance.) The lines in the flowers are rushing and vital. They render the flowers as much energies as petals. This is already very familiar to fans of your work; your Beethoven-like power; cosmic stuff---pulsing, rushing, colliding, embracing, etc. All the things of the deep heart.

The leaves on the bottom have the same rushing intensity, only with greens highlighted by very intense blues. That combination of luminous blues against green make for luminous leaves. They make a pulsing 'ground' for your painting. And above? Waterfalls. Of leaves and stalks and sky. And the granular energy-modules that your alcohol work brings out. You've transformed the sky into big pulsing sheets of falling/rising energies. And those overlapped sections which look like the insides of shells, with those incandescent lights and smooth surfaces. These are at top, center (left of center). You have these surfaces in a number of your pieces. To me, they look like the inside surfaces of shells...

As a portrait of love, its a passionate love, with huge highs and huge lows, and a very dramatic dance of souls. The orange just shouts off the 'canvas', and the greens and blues give real peace. A very powerful piece, raining down into our spaces with a great explosion of power.

Mark, I enjoyed and appreciate your comment very much. Your observation was so perceptive. I was compelled to create some art using this color orange contrasted with aqua/blue green. Colors really do speak to and effect me so deeply. Of course I adore poppies, they are so full of life. I thought of love in bloom while I was creating this, because of the amazing energy of love, as well as the contrasts of love. As you said, with love there are intense highs and intense lows, there are moments of incredible energy and passion, and times of deep calm and peacefulness. That is what I wanted to express in this art, and I'm truly touched you felt and saw that in this work.
