I like the spacial break-up on this painting but I like your portrait even better. I couldn't tell from the photo, but does the physical break-up on the portrait enter into the pinks as well? It is really a dynamic image. It is a great orchestration of forms in different space. Thanks for sharing.

I was immediately attracted to this piece. When I looked at the thumbnail I thought maybe it was a closeup of the veins of a leaf. "Neurotransmitters" works for me. It is an amazing piece.

The longer I look at this painting, the more "detail" I notice, like when you look from afar (as in squint your eyes, or look at the small version of it), you can see vague contours of a kind of grid - very interesting, and absolutely impeccable color choices! Nicely done!

I was thinking of the electric impulses of the brain . and the web of arties surounding the heart. thank you for taking a look

I have an unfinished painting sitting here for the past year, that has somewhat the same idea, some kind of (in my case) multi-layered net of fibres.

Beautiful. Looks like what it would be like to step into someone else dream. Especially liked the subtlty of the yellow and green ying yang in the center with the little shackled man standing on top. Very powerful!

I like the idea of painting neurotransmitters, and combination of the color of the background with the vivid colors of the foreground. In a certain way it make me think about the interconnection of beings as well.

Lovely bright colours of 'Neurotransmitters'. Just love the connected colourbonding effect. The shapes are phenominal in design and create a 'synapse' of colour! Great expression Coleen! 5***** Regards Angela Susan

I also saw the thumbnail and had to expand it; it seems to work well on a small or large scale and I see there are no repeating designs, which makes it very absorbing to look at! I think I'd never get tired of this on my wall. My favourite subject is the brain and the eye, so I'd love to see more of such work. What about something on the retina? Very nice!

iain,
thank you very much . this work is a larger size 30" x 40" . your retina idea is very good . a lot to think about .

Artist Statement
for Coleen Ryan-Rivera
Coleen Ryan-Rivera" The true human is someone who is aware, someone who is, moment-by-moment merged with life... Out of that capacity of inner and outer listening comes the quality of humility".
Through form, color and movement I strive to embrace that merger with life... Examining the inner and outer process of past and present experiences , which encompasses the impact of loss emerging with hope... Always listening.
