"Beginning Prayer" -- Surreal Digital Art

very nice, bill.

Wild.

Lovely piece Bill.

Great composition

Nice it is very interesting.

Definitely my enjoyment. It is a type of art I really enjoy.

Mind on Fire from Contemplation

Fiery fervency frees forever the prayer.

Nice!

great edit

Love this!

Wow. Not only surreal, but surreally beautiful! Featured at The Surreal Circus.

Bill,
I like to brag about folks on Gather to hubby, but he's about as interested as I'm interested in liver. He placates me sometimes, but...liver. lol

Thanks to Anne, there is one person he got to see quality from - you. She sent me a card a few weeks ago and it's your artwork. As often as I've talked about you and "wifey." (I'm sure your wife wants to be called "wifey" as much as I want to eat liver, but I swear, I don't talk about either of you often - because we don't cross pass often - but it is always a brag), I'm so glad he got to see your artwork. You're really very good - well worth seeing on paper as well as screen. He doesn't get to see my friends on Gather often (liver lol), so it was a great day when I got to show him you, through your artwork. Definitely German chocolate cake, not liver! Even he thinks so.

I hope you know you could make money with your artwork, if you wanted to. You really are that good. Even though our spiritual beliefs are different, your artwork is so good, it transcends the differences and speaks to the heart, while pleasing the eyes. I've been kidding about the differences between liver and German chocolate cake. I know there are people who love either or who hate either, but there are more people who love German chocolate cake than liver. In that respect, your artwork really is German chocolate cake.

I agree that Bill has mastered symbolism so well that his work has become universal. I'd love to place his work in some of those stores in Santa Fe (apparently the world's second largest art market) that sell original surreal art.

Lynn,

Thank you so much for the positive rave. I'm glad to hear that the art on my card appealed to both you and your hubby. I had no idea that Ann was using them that way, and that's Awesome !!

German Chocolate cake it is.

My Very Best To You

Geesh! Ann owes you a card. lol

Very cool!

The well executed product of a creative mind! Well done!

Thank you for sharing.... quite interesting and well put together!

Very creative image.

Thank you for sharing with Gather's Best Writers & Artists!

This is magnificent.

I liked the "wild" comment.

Quite a beginning prayer, Bill. Good thing the pray-er is anchored!

Wow, this is awesome!

where did you find such an awesome "Diety"...definitely the center focus to your Yoga

I agree w. Ann ..send a pict. to some of the contemporary galleries in Santa Fe. I use to have one there that represented me but they went under

Hey Richard,

The being in yellow is not really meant to be a "Deity." My intention was that it represent the soul of the aspirant rising heavenward as a result of the practice of prayer and meditation.

On the other note, I would love to have my work in a gallery. I get so overwhelmed by the cloud of unknowing that hovers around that concept that I've end up frozen and doing nothing in every case. If you have some light or direction to share on the process it would be much appreciated.

Best To You :-)

Just amazing and surreal work Bill. Hopefully someone can direct you to the nearest art gallery for all to see.

I have always had a block dealing with the "advertising" my work as it interferes with the creative process. I've been in 3 or 4 galleries (all but one, a co-op gallery) grabs 40-50%...so until you get "famous" you almost give your work away. Initially most want you to send them Photos with size, medium, title, and price. Now days with computer..prob. could Google some galleries and fin out what they require for submissions. I think I still have something in a gallery in Albuquerque called Weems Gallery. The mgr. is a girl named Ari...we use to work together. Might ck it out. If so, tell Ari, hi, from me. That part of art is a RAT race and I hate it! Good luck
