Wow. Very striking piece

Hey Mike, Cool art! We were trying to friend you guys on Facebook but you both are super private. Can you friend Alex Fedorow on Facebook. His profile pic is black and white and he is playing the guitar. Hope to speak to you guys soon. Jeanne

Great! I'm glad to hear you are happy with it. Enjoy!

Just received Girl in a Blue Room - it's even more beautiful in person. I love the background design, and the way you can see it through the girl's face.

I'm very glad to hear it arrived safely and that you are pleased with it! Thank you for your purchase. I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Just received my painting. The shipping took some time, but I very pleased when it arrived. The colors and composition where exactly what I was expecting. It is now perched above my fireplace and definitely the showpiece of my family room!

You're very welcome. Thank you for looking and sharing your thoughts.

Well said. I am often struck at how much time we (people) spend doing each activity. I, personally, have spent days on planes, weeks in cars etc. I also find it interesting that traveling vast distances in short amounts of time is almost incomprehensible to the human brain, and it is such a relatively new phenomenon. Being in a different state or country in a few hours can be psychologically disorienting. Thanks for explaining your art!

I realized that a significant amount of my time was spent driving and that much of what I experience (and many people experience) visually is seen from moving vehicles. It is a unique viewpoint because even though we are still, the world around us is in motion. I guess if all the visual information a person takes in on a daily basis is given equal weight, then that information which is seen from a car or a train or a plane is especially important in shaping our overall understanding of things because we can see so much in such a brief period of time.

That sounds interesting. I know other artists on Ugallery have captured the methods of travel, such as planes etc, and others have portrayed the destination as a scenic getaway. Your piece "Destination" actually captures the experience of walking and taking a taxi. Very cool. How do you think travel contributes to our visual culture?
