Beauty in Physics
As a postscriptum to my earlier post about The Beauty of it All, here is a photo of my latest painting. I made it after a sketch I took from Chanda's back during a seminar.
The painting is 20'' x 24'', acrylic on canvas.

Hey, nice job. You should have got her to hold a mirror, and painted that too.:) There is more then just that way, of doing symmetry? :)

Shouldn't there be a tobacco pipe floating above her head? Symmetries break - that is where all the fun hides in plain sight. Even better, the word "pipe" rather than the object. When somebody comments, say "it's really a metaphoric apple."

For each man knows ere his lip-thatch grows he is master of Art and Truth;
Meanwhile, we had a windstorm in the Seattle area.
The painting gives me the sense of being in one's own private world even though a seminar is going on.
ReplyDeletewow, this is gorgeous! I wish I could paint like this. Did you try oil colours? If not, you should. Ciao,
ReplyDeletevery nice job indeed. I like the choice of colors, the lack of anything else to focus on except the subject, and -as others have noted- the magrittesque layout.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
