Special Art Presentation

By Anonymous

What is the Picture?

As a special presentation of beautiful art, Pencil Stubs Online shows this selection.

    Is it a painting in oil? perhaps water? acrylics? pastels?
    Or is it a photograph?
    What do you believe is the subject matter?

The answer will be revealed in the June issue by the artist, but meanwhile you are invited to make your learned and possibly, not so learned guesses in the comment section below the image. It is very simple to add your guess to the others, and the staff here as well as the artist wonders what those guesses will be.

Come on! Be brave! Analyze what you are seeing here, and make your guess.

Especially, the question is, will anyone guess right?

Comment: This has the feel of an oil painting of some type of fire to me. Interestingly though, when I first saw it I clearly saw what looked to be an image of Christ on the cross in the top section of the picture. It also seems to have a very femine feel to it.

Comment: I have seen something like this that was done by an elephant. A very artistic elephant. I watched her do it, at an animal farm in Reston, Virginia.

Comment: Gesso on canvas, oil paints worked in wet with brush and trowel would result in that "glowing," alive look and provide the feathery, layered look that provides depth. I see several figures and faces in this work and could make an argument that it depicts the ascension of souls escaping the final Hell-fires on earth. Then, again, it could be hair follicles as viewed under a microscope.....hmmmmmmmmmm.

Comment: Hi, Leo. My first reaction was that it was a Picasso during his blue period. It also reminds me of a program on TV that I watched on UFOs. They showed a forest in England with UFO lights showing through the trees. I agree with JJ that if it is a picture it was taken at ground level. Irene

Comment: It has an organic "feel" to it, and the different quality of the square section in the upper right area of the image suggests a collage. Perhaps because I've been obsessed with things medical this year, I think it may owe at least part of its detail to some kind of medical imaging technology. To me, it communicates struggle toward some aspiration.

Comment: Photo of forest fire, taken by someone who lived near the fire, or a photographer covering the story. Or, a little grass fire, and the person, I think female taking the shot at ground level up close.

Comment: I think it's a mite's eye view (with backlighting provided by a tiny flea-held flashlight) of my shag rug after the ceiling fell last month.

Comment: It's looks like a beautiful, imaginative, and abstract painting of plants reaching upwards to the sky. I see a ghostly figure standing in the sunlight. A wonderful and celestial feel to the whole piece. I love it!

Comment: This gives me the impression of pencil craft. I think it may be a spark for the imagination, or a plain old bushfire.lol. watch out for the exploding gum tree.
