Well thank you very much, I'm sincerely grateful for the huge compliment. However, don't sell yourself so short; you have a good eye and create some interesting work full of detail and unusual perspectives. You often incorporate multiple figures in the same drawing. That takes a hell of a lot of determination and work. Many don't realise just how difficult this is.
All the best

Hello again, it's good to hear from you. I've enjoyed looking at your recent work. It appears to have undergone quite a dramatic change in energy, focus and rendering since I was last here. It is good to see.
As for me; it was touch and go for a while, but in my darkest hour I realised it's possible that I would simply be replacing one set of unpleasant circumstances with another.
For now my hand is stayed and I live to fight (and hopefully paint) another day.
Best wishes,
DP

Thanks for the comments on my latest.
Just wanted to do a painting without blue.
Grand Opening is as close as I get to erotic art, although to paraphrase Freud, sometimes a dome is just a dome.

You're welcome. No matter the choices we make in the process of creation, once released, a single image can take on many separate lives of its own. Seen through the subjective experiences of the viewer, our paintings can often become something quite different than what we originally envisioned and sought to communicate. Seen in that light, a dome could represent almost anything, though likely stays within the confines of established archetypes.
An aspect of the painting I found especially interesting were the subtle squares in the lower right hand alcove.
