Gorgeous.

What's the medium?

[MMIX]

Encaustic. Kind of like wax crayons for adults - smear it on with a hot iron . . .

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's really nice. Reminds me of Wyoming in summertime.

[MMIX]

Its a great medium for evoking. Pretty shit hot for portraiture too but I haven't found/constructed the right surface to work yet. Its the medium they used for the Fayuum mummy portraits in Egypt.

[Freeky]

Wow, that's pretty!

[MMIX]

I've been calling this one Kai time . That's because I've started calling my dog walking time Kai time because of that post about letting go of the irrelevant detail and really thinking on a regular basis.

I enjoy this one because its green and layered and complex and repays deeper attention

It looks like Tucson's mountain ranges seen from above. Except with, you know, PRETTY COLORS.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I see trees during an ice storm.

[MMIX]

I love to know what other people see - its  exciting in the 'woah shit now I've got four eyes' kind of way . . .

These are fucking outstanding.

The second one looks like ice crystals that form on windows, and also mountains from above like Freeky said.

For the third one, I see an ant in the top left as the main magenta area (looking at the viewer, even), and the rest of it is some sort of dead creature that the ant is eating.

[MMIX]

Thanks, and yes, I can see the ant now. I love new interpretations, they give me that gut thrill like you get in the moment when a visual illusion "tips over" and you can actually watch as your world gets re-interpreted right in front of your eyes.

I see trees during an ice storm.

I see seaweed.  And people trapped inside of it.

That's creepy.

Everything is going to be okay, right Nigel?
