Ok, art is interpretive so to me...lol...to me this is saying:

You are represented through the cat looking over all the undiscovered "potential" in this vast land. Most cats living outside get to run free and explore new things, and ideas. The seemingly lit buildings in the painting represent where you have been and all the transparent ones are where you can go!

LOL...ok go ahead and laugh...just my two cents

Re: NICE.... scottwoods February 21 2006, 13:46:59 UTC

Yeah, I'm laughing.

Really, I like landscapes, but I wanted to do a landscape differently than the way I've always done them or see them. So I diced it up with a village/city state. The cat came to me after seeing a cat in a movie running through streets.

So, sorry, no deep personal contrivances here. Just a cat looking at a city.
I may end up doing a series of these. We'll see.

Also: the houses will be different colors, I just hadn't done any of the other colors yet.

lol for real at you now.

OH WHATEVER!!!!!

I am going to stick to my interpretation! If I saw it in an art gallery it would be a cat looking over undiscovered potential.... LMAO

I like this alot and actually...if it was me painting it (no I don't paint) but I would call this done! It's got a very 60's vibe to it. I would say it resembles the opening to a Chuck Jones cartoon.

scottwoods February 21 2006, 15:30:55 UTC

lol...Thanks!
You know me: always messing with stuff.

momoyeahmomo February 21 2006, 15:33:46 UTC

Hey you've gotta keep busy in these times! I completely understand.

cynthia_french February 21 2006, 14:50:26 UTC

i really love this! I'm jealous you have space to paint...my apartment has grown too small the last year or so.

scottwoods February 21 2006, 15:31:31 UTC

Well, it's going to have to earn its space. If I don't like what I'm doing - or if I nly have a few things to show for the move - then it turns back into a guest room.
