Surreal Grapes

I am fascinated by color. I am fascinated by form. I am truly fascinated when the two coalesce into a magnificent oneness. As if they were meant to be that way. It startles me when I see some wonderment that defies my explaining. Why a subject interests me and others don't. It is the essence of the creative mind to explore, to unfurl new ideas and to have them burst forth in an explosion of colored atoms radiating their vibrations on the chalkboard of my mind. I will never grow tired of seeing colors explode. I will never grow tired of the movement of forms. I will never grow old as long as I can dream my dreams and paint them with my oils . visionary imagist "Joey"

Beautiful work Joey

Visionary Imagist
Artist Reply: Renata: I love color that is vibrant and electric. Like exploding atoms on my canvas. My oils still after all these years amaze me in what they hold in that tube. I'm sure you feel the same way. Thanks!!

When a colour or form or a combination of both suddenly catch the eye there is this connection with the brains or with the emotions one has. We are not always aware of this...why has one a favorite colour and why? Because there is a connection somewhere. Only to name it can be difficult. A very beautiful painting of grapes, Joey. What is interesting is why some are are free and one is (still?) "bound".

Like Picasso already said, it takes a long time to get young. It's really great that you share your colourful dreams with us, Joey! And that we can learn so much from them.

Visionary Imagist
Artist Reply: Anneke: Your wonderful reference to Picasso makes me filled with delight. It is a rare thing for an adult to remember to dream dreams like a child. It is how we must enter into the celestial space, to think like little children. Your comments become inspiration for me. thank you deeply my friend!!
