mmm..- hey i have to thank you your comments kids.. i was about to throw it away.. really

cauz it seems dirty... I don't get it..you know.. i can like it but can't get it...looks strange to me.. too primitive for me instead.

well thank you again :)

It is primitive but that's what i like about it. Hope you didn't get rid of this one.

Art is not a matter of perfect technique, it is life of the soul. It is my belief that ultimate reality can only be achieved by a passionate burning devotion to one's work.

I think it's excellent. Even if you think it's too grungy,
make sure you keep the documentation before you trash it.
I've painted over some of my works, but have taken many
images in slide or photographic format first.

I love the varying textures - it's chunky, thick, heavy, and of
course, because of the colours, dirty and decomposed looking.
Fantastic use of material.
