Oops! I did one twice. Here is number 3.

Now that's my type of image.

I thought you might like the concept.;-)

I find there is a Pollock feel to them with the random
application/placing and mix of color.

Actually Pollack is not pure random.

I know.There is just something about the *gum* patterns which resonates.

His application is actually quite deliberate as demonstrated in the
patterns in many of his larger works. There are a few I am very familiar with. One
which I encountered in the flesh, and have returned to wonder at many
times over the last 45+ years, is Pollock #2 at the Munson, Williams, Procter
Art Institute in Utica, NY.

My concept of abstract is determined by the original image.

I always thought your concept of abstract was determined by what you did
to the original image.

The image tells me what to do.

...er, OK...

And sometimes it tells me to do this:

Again, OK!

...but WTF do any of those PeterN manipulations have to do with gum stuck to
an alley wall, or Jackson Pollock?


They are not intended to remind someone that they were at a certain
place, or saw some object.
They are designed to create a feeling. I will be one of the first to
agree that probably more people don't like it, than do. Can't say for
sure, I never took a survey. If I like it, that's all that counts. If
someone else likes it, good. I have made someone else happy. We had a
theme competition at my CC. The theme was hands. Here is an
unmanipulated copy of my winning image, and my first runner-up,
although, obviously neither are human hands. The concept is that my
images are intended to be interpretations and representations.
