I really like this one . (though I think the photo does not do justice to the irl colors the painting probably has)

Spinning an old record for you, Xyler.  Thanks for sharing your passion.. Yes, I can dig it.

"I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it,
We can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it …"

Thanks Wg. I know the pic wasnt the best. I was trying to make a gif of me spinning it for dramatic effect. Didnt work out so well, my patience that is. Ill post more if there is any interest, these are about a year old now.
Billy those daises are kinda crazy, it reminds me of wheat with the grasping fists.

Xlyer, if you owned the original you would be rich.  It is a famous work by Pablo Picasso.

[watergaze]

Xlyer, I sure would not mind seeing more of where that came from . Spinning the picture is a neat idea...

[Xlyer]

Thanks Wg again. I wont bother with the gifs. Im trying to figure out a balance between the aspect ratios of comp vs mobile.
I was in quite the trance while i worked on this: its an old one too.I wont quit my day job.

I thought i had a water painting. This is closest ive found, its not quite done.
I have something new to make now.Thanks.

[watergaze]

wow, this is the best one so far (from my point of view). It looks like an ally . Thnx too

[Xlyer]

Fallen from the trials of my past, entombed in nostalgia.
Clearing up the rose tinted specs.
Its more like a tangled birds nest.
Spin mantra spin.

Same principles spinning, grasping, all while searching madly.
For the all source looking in.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Squandering through energy reserves.

Just relaxing while waiting for the swell.
Mental flips through timeless chests.
Trying to find a switch.
Once flipped an irreversible path awaits.

It's like it's going to capture the moon. So beautiful.

[Xlyer]

Thanks. Took me awhile i started on it a few months back and finally got around to finishing up last weekend.

[watergaze]

[Xlyer]

You mean you still see the water ally picture when you go to this thread? Maybe it is in your cache or something. Cause it really is not there anymore.

Could you repost it pls. It really was my favorite

Looking forward to the fire pic too .

[Xlyer]

who is Phyto?

(I love it)

I started this piece focusing on the ocean. As it came together the word phyto came to me. A couple Google searches later I came across the link I posted above. I'm glad you liked it.

sitting further than the sun
I was observing how it paints the world
with ray after ray of brushes
and an open heart
reaching... reaching... stretching into the depths below
illuminating darkness, yes, but first touching it, entering it
I wonder... is the world really like that in the primeval darkness?
was it molded, shaped, given color
was it alive before or not? and if so...
was it alive like the rays that breathed it life?
or was that a different kind of being alive?

I hear them say to me...
close your eyes and fall into those depths
stretch out your hands your senses
what beings lie there in those darkest corners?
bring them out
recognize them
name them
breathe with them, for them, from them, form them
find the answers 
they're all just waiting to be found.

I can see the light piercing the waves.
Thank you for your words. Here are some words, i havent written in awhile so forgive me.

Eternally spinning.
Hand in hands, eyes looking up.
Skies looking down.

The suns radiance bursts through the clouds.
Feet firmly planted, energy all around.
A breath of life blows through till evening.

The mind relaxes as water sounds.
Sitting bay side taking in the view.
Internally tuning.
