Earth Nebula

This one, I think by Jon, reminds me of a nebula . . . for some instinctual reason . . . This painting is slightly other-dimensional, it seems, as getting it in "good light' is difficult. However, with the magick of 21st century painting technology (i.e. digital photography & computer programs) the quantum dimensions can be breached. The photo fix I applied changed the color hue, saturation and intensity . . . and thus gives the painting a new color meaning. The representation posted here, from a photo by Ginny, reminds me of the beginnings of the earth, before it coelesced into a solid mass.


. . . and this photo fix is more like the original . . . as far as my memory serves right now . . .


Just an example of the power of 21st century technology in the arts. A power we can wield. A power we need to wield.
