Now that's a first-rate abstract collage! Very well done.
fabulous! this is something that would look great over my fireplace.
Rich, textural, mysterious, lovely combination of warm and cool, just like the night. Wonderful, as usual.
Thank you anonymous Anonymous!!
It would probably cool the warmth of your fireplace KG ... but you are welcome to do your own interpretation from my image :)
Your comments are always a rich texture Rick Lovell - thanks!
I really love the large view of this. Great texture and use of colour. You are quite a skillful collager!
You continually leave me speechless and drooling down the front of my shirt. But, you know that already, don't you?
A bunch of doors in darkened rooms, with light shining in from the hallways, in some sort of demented Escher space. Reminds me of my brain. Cool job.
"Remember, a day without sunshine is like... night." -Steve Martin
Collages are fun Holly … you never know when they are going to end … like an endless night :)
Quite aware you drool Mick! Glad you are typing right now and not trying to speak – very unattractive :) Thanks!
You got the interpretation right Tony LaRocca! Hmmmm Steve Martin as the philosopher is a scary thing …
great texture, color and composition.
I have to ask is this an older piece or a new one?
I'm a huge fan of Klee and the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was his work. Magnifico.
great texture, crazy about the angular shapes.
But hey.. remote.. I LOVE REMOTE

You are right Andrea! It does look like Klee – do you see a hieroglyph existing in emblematic space?
Welcome Rottentuna.com ... phew WHAT is that smell? Think you should love remote as much as possible :) Hheheheee
omg this is beautiful, wildcat. very tactile...and "i love those colours!"
beautiful collage. i love the texture and color combination. i can see some action taking place during night time.
i don't why i always see images in your artworks esp. with the abstract ones. in here i can see a person on the left almost center with the red color like it was red armhole(was wearing a red shirt)and was connected with the beige and what seems to be blonde is the head. seems like the person is reaching out for something---ahhh what an imagination!
Keep your distance Vacattacking … your enthusiasm to be tactile with my fabulous colours is a little worrying …
Creeping through the house lit only by moonlight.
Very still.
Nice one Anonny :)
Glad you love Catnapping :)
You have a fine eye for detail Isay! There are indeed ghostly figures to be found – believe in your imagination!
You're a poet Elaine!!!
beautiful, Anonymous, very much a la Klee...
Has nothing to do with luck Vfm4! Teehee :)
Paul Klee, but you knew that... LOL
and not all Klee has 4 leaves btw... :-)
(didn't know you do German too.... )
funny verification words sometimes: knuxx..
Mwahahahaaa ... Viennese is my second language (close enough), German third :) I found a four leaf clover once - Knuxx yourself!
This has a real Rosalie Gascoigne feel to it, it looks like bits and pieces of wooden/timber offcuts (I know it's not). It would look good against a masonry wall.

I am intrigued. Not usually drawn to abstract, but this one got me. Nice work.
Rosalie’s assemblages are ones to aspire to Detlef! Have done ceramic stoneware works which would suit this particular drawing … but wood would be a challenge indeed! Thanks!
Thanks for commenting Don - pleased you have been drawn :)
Amazing as usual. Rock on, Anon'.
Ooooh, this is beautiful, Anon.
First I want to say how awesome it is that you post so many comments on other blog's. (where do you find the time?) Sometimes I think about commenting and then get distracted, I am making more of an effort this week. This is an amazing collage. The depth and colors are wonderful. My favorite piece of your work.
Rocking James :)
Thanks for the compliment the Mysterious Poodle Circus!
Also alternate weeks but numbers make it around a quarter get my comments on best weeks Melba; when I don't sleep :) Thanks for the compliments - glad you like this one!
This is beautiful!! Love the cubism-ish style!! GREAT painting!
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Anonymous,
I like your night is like a maze (or labyrinth, how do you said?)
also the colours and the texture.
Thank you for your visit!
Yes Alina Chau – it has a cubism-ish style – thanks!
Thank you for your enthusiasm Viva!!
Hello Sssss, a maze most probably ... complex system of paths. Always tripping over things in the night :) Thanks for visiting !
Your piece has a wonderfully calmining effect, Anon. I would not feel at all creeped out walking through its night-time corridors... they are embued with warmth and a sense of well being. Beautiful. And thanks for posting on my blog.
This feels like a maze. Not so much the maze itself but the feeling one might have after getting lost in one and not being able to find the right way out.
The tease is that repeated light arch.
Wow, my eye wants to travel into all those nooks. This vision of night though complex is made less intimidating by the wonderfully rich color and surprising softness and well lit corners. Grand!
wonderful combination of shapes and shadows.. seems the complexities of the mysteries of the night have marveled and reflected thru this piece.
Thank you Leif, you are welcome to crash in one of our corridors anytime - and you are right, they is nothing to be afraid of here; except maybe tripping over things on the way to the bathroom :)
I really like this way of seeing Caroline! The repeated light arch must be the bathroom...
It is a full house, just as well only a few objects were repeated in the many corners A! Thanks for your wonderful real estate description!
Exactly AtomicVelvetSigh - thank you!!
Like bieng in a quarry, or a cbist city...the colors are very mineral-like, and I'm sure you've hidden some secrets that I can't find...however, the pure visual experience is excellent! Your abstract work is always so compelling.
One of those ghosts has his nose in a book. I've thought about this since I peeked in earlier. What I like best about this piece is that it could be a walkway. It has the feeling of tiles, solid and permanent. Yeah, a walk way, but no running, you could bump your knee on a table. Very interesting.
ALIVE
This piece is alive & would also make a great ashtray design!
Now this is great wall art!
Smooch
The Tart
I really enjoy the different interpretations - especially the 'not so obvious' ones!
Carla - you must have shale quarries where you come from? I would love to see a Cubist city :)
Can see the nosey ghost LDahl! Can also see a walkway now you mention it ... yes, like a furnished underground walkway at the cental train station! Furniture would be really handy to take a rest :)
You are right Jody! From ashtray to wall art - if the wall was in a train walkway, it could act as both :)
This is stunning, Anonymous; an abstract that convey the fragmentations of dreams for instamnce, and also the distortions darkness brings.
superb!
ha ha...not sure i can leave a serious comment watching the mooner that posted above me!!!what's my roast doing there?! this piece has inspired me to do something completely abstract today. thanks for the motivation luv!
cheers,
kerry
How wonderful Paula.... fragmentations and distortions of night - great!
Thanks Diosaperdida!
Tis a rare piece of roast or strangely shaped bottom; looks more like a very large pair of sunburnt breasts! Very pleased you have been motivated into doing an abstract work today Kerry!! Excellent!!!!
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Real nice :)
This is very, very cool. Fabulous piece!
ditto regarding all the comments...beautiful
love the blues
Had to come back and look again. stunning. probably your best yet.
Thanks for your positive praises Pusha V, Leezy and Joli Noir Perle! :)
anonymous Anonymous, are you the first anonymous Anonymous who commented earlier? Or are you unknown? Thanks for coming back for another look!
anonymous? i'm not anonymous!
aaack i AM anonymous! i don't know how that happened!
...but it gives me an idea for the next IF week...hmmmm
Aha! Of course you are not anonymous or unknown Catnapping! Please accept my humble apologies :) VERY humble apologies ... eek
the night has broken into a thousand pieces!
mesmerizing...
yay, i'm back! and thanks for your continuous support and comments! appreciated! XD
i love how the colors reflect the title. night can be so different, so many colours and so many shades, making you feel different yet knowing it is the same everyday.
i think you captured that feeling well. sorry, i'm rambling. heh~
This reminds me of something that would be hanging in one of the rooms of the old Rod Serling TV show "Night Gallery". There just seems to be something a little bit sinister about this. Though I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's all the odd angles I can't put in order. Maybe I'm a little sinister. Hmm...
love
Ohhhhh, it looks like it might have Kinky Konjolin :) Wake up!!!!
Welcome back AG! The works you left behind fit the IF topics you missed - it was fun :) Thanks for your comment- we all ramble here :)
There is something a little bit sinister about Rod Serling AND look at your flesh dripping head in the mirror Unknown! Love.
Wow! You got lot's of comments on this piece! Nicely done.
And thanks for your comment on my illustration :)
www.coffee81.blogspot.com
wow this is really great!!! I love it! :-)
I like abstracts, very nice.
Night Gallery? I totally agree there. It's an excellent illo.
Thank you for taking the time and leaving positive comments Coffee81, Maria Antunes, David and Janey :)
Very well done! I have said it before but I'll say it again...ABSTRACTION RULES!!
Lovely texture, your abstract work is awesome!
Aieee, I see the nightmare faces of robotic bureaucrats or an Escher labyrinth, or Bracks' grey men marching along Collins Street at 5 O'Clock. Actually, with all the pieces cut out separately, it'd make a good puzzle too :).
Excellent dispersal of colour across the area of the picture!
Thank you Big A - keep abstracting!
Thanks Draconas for your enthusiasm!
Oh no, can also now see robotic bureaucrats Ian T! Can also see Brack's grey men! Choosing to see an Escher labyrinth so I can sleep at night - slightly better anyway :)
I look at this and think: Picasso.
Excellent work.
This is beautiful. This color scheme reminds me one of the painting by Paul Klee, and the style of painting is like Cubism period.
I would like to be lost in your night maze for awhile. It seems so calming.
Can see Picasso during his Blue Period, Aravis. Thanks :)
Thank you Neelambari - yes it is very Cubist looking and can also see Klee!
I won’t call you Bessie, and you are right ... daytime involves a Bearman, Manboy and Cheruboy running in, out and around my work hours. It's aMAZ(E)ing now calm night is in comparison :)
Hi there :) Dropping by via your LiveJournal account. Thanks for leaving a comment on mine.
Wow, this is a very interesting interpretation of last week's topic. Very complex but there's something very calm about it as well. Thanks for sharing!
F A B U L O U S...I missed this last week. Just Beautiful.
Thanks for dropping by Miyuki F! Your lino cut was just as interesting!!
Thank you also Marina Vazzana!
