needs a title . . .
Gorgeous.
What's the medium?
Encaustic. Kind of like wax crayons for adults - smear it on with a hot iron . . .
That's really nice. Reminds me of Wyoming in summertime.
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.

Wow, that's pretty!

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.
I see trees during an ice storm.

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.
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 seaweed. And people trapped inside of it.

You're both right - it's Akira coming out of an elephant's vagina. Tell me you can't see it now.
MMIX, I just want you to know that I like these, especially because of how they look to others.
Thanks EoC, and tbh there is something engagingly/disturbingly organic about the images that this style of encaustic produces, so if it hits the occasional squick button its hardly surprising . . .
To me, it looks like someone pushed her fingers into some unworked clay and shoved it into the window of one of those old, silver bullet style RV's (viewed from the outside).
The second to last one looks like a planet was destroyed and spaceships are searching for something.
Blue-green one looks like strange waves with shark heads and smiling women's faces.
I see some sort of elephant/stone creature coming to life out of the side of a mountain.
I see a casserole with teeth and chopped up fingers.

These interpretations are a real blast . . .

Ok this one no joke made me think you were in an airplane above the flatlands in Tucson. Particularly after a rain, when all the silt has been moved into piles and stuff.
