pure colors.\u00a0 About six years ago I did a series of abstract paintings using a different primary color for each one.\u00a0 Unfortunately I don\u2019t have any photos of them at hand, but I\u2019ll try to find some in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Although I think they are strong images, my main concern with the female god photos is that they aren&#8217;t cohesive enough to stand on their own. Are they dependent upon the sculpture, or can they exist independently?<br \/>\nFinally here are some images from the piece titled \u2019Two Figures Pulling Apart\u2019.\u00a0 They\u2019re taken from a photo of the sculpture while still in the clay stage.\u00a0 It\u2019s the large connecting chunk of flesh located at the figures pelvic areas.\u00a0 I used Photoshop to progressively darken the photograph.\u00a0 Each sequence of darkening brought out a richer tone by creating more pronounced shadows, which helped to define musculature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-41.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90\" title=\"unbound 4\" src=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1130\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-41.jpg 1130w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-41-300x156.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-41-1024x535.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-91\" title=\"unbound 1\" src=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1130\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-11.jpg 1130w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-11-300x156.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-11-1024x534.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-92\" title=\"unbound 2\" src=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1130\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-22.jpg 1130w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-22-300x156.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-22-1024x535.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-32.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93\" title=\"unbound 3\" src=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-32.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1130\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-32.jpg 1130w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-32-300x156.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tommonsees.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/unbound-32-1024x535.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cheers for now,<\/p>\n<p>P.S. anything found on this site is for sale.\u00a0 Including me. \u00a0Prices available upon request.
