This is one of those rare paintings of mine that unfolds in one sitting over the course of a protracted afternoon. I lost track of time. After about two hours in, I began to struggle with it. It was a like a game of chess; I had managed the opening well enough, but I was floundering in the middle game.
I tried to adjourn the game for another day, but it nagged at me. I kept going. I pushed the painting until I was pleased with it once again, and then I decided to just try to finish it.
I hope you like it. It’s part of The Sublime series, and it is also in the shop (Art for Sale). The Sublime series reflects my preoccupation with quantum mechanics, first contact and the singularity.
