The Brain of Genius

Pine Hill, NJ

This is the second picture I made from the same dead dogwood tree slide I scanned into the computer. If you look carefully you can see some of the details found in "Praying for the Debauchers". I like the texture found in this version and the reddish brown colors. The brain matter has the color I associate with old weathered bones. The whole picture is surreal and abstract.

The other day I took one of my new bark slides and created two abstracts. But, I wonder if these two should be considered surreal instead. Yes, they are abstracts but the image is nearly as surreal as Dali's painting are. Of course I'll never be able to compete with a Dali. Today I'm putting my first image on "Praying for the Debauchers".

Praying for the Debauchers

In this picture I began to see party revelers out of control, having an orgy and one person at the lower left praying for the souls of the debauchers. Can you see his gray hair, long bird flowing down into his hands. He bows his head in prayer. Tomorrow I will put in the other picture from the same dead dogwood tree that I photographed.
