      Thank you for your words.

    This has a visual quality I can’t quite put my finger on (as we say in English).

    1. rabirius Avatar

      I know the expression.
      Thank you, Steve.

        With a group of people from various countries, I often can’t be sure who knows what idiomatic expression. Even between the United States and other English-speaking countries there are differences, so I generally follow the adage “When in doubt, spell it out” (and coincidentally “spell it out” might need some explaining in its own right).

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, I know. I worked for a British/US company and there I noticed this a lot.

    Brushstroke by brushstroke we are being painted on the canvas of life. This what your picture is telling me, Rabirius.

      Thank you, Peter.

    De wondere werelden die je schept zijn altijd fascinerend, ze nodigen echt uit om te “zien” en om na te denken.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Bedankt voor je woorden.

    One of my favourites of the ones you’ve posted recently, I particularly like the overlay effect here, like one of those 3D dioramas I used to make as a kid out of shoeboxes with a pinhole in the end.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thanks a lot.
      Actually, I worked a lot with overlays. I duplicated the picture and made an abstract colour version and a monochrome version that I merged later.

    Beautifully abstract and poignant.

    Welcome to today. Yes, we are part of the painting. More of us need to be painters. Your work is brilliant.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you Michael. I’m glad you like it.

    It also seems some are on the outside. Well done Rabirius

    1. rabirius Avatar

      They are.
      Thank you, John.

    Looks very much like a holograph Rabirius – beautiful

      Thank you, Tina. I’M happy you like it.

    Our lives, then! Magnificent!

      Thank you, Lepis. I’m glad you like it.

    This is at the same time so beautiful but also sad. That lonely person in red desires to be a part of something bigger. Now it’s isolation and loneliness.
    I do hope that person has the courage to stand up and step into the world.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you. Yes, Isolation and loneliness seem to be a problem for many people these days.

    I don’t know about the people, but the dog seems to be very comfortable.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, he is quite relaxed. 🙂

      1. Jan K. alias Afanja Avatar

        No concerns at all. 🤣

    Vibrance within the dream; the eye of the artist. A beautiful feeling.

    Apt but not so happy. It makes me feel as if I (and the World) need eyeglasses and sunshine.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Sunshine we definitely need over here. 🙂

    He worked all day. Observing; marking; observing; remarking, until he finally looked down to his sketchbook the man carefully stepped in, so as not to disturb a thing.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Beautiful words. Looks like you started to create a story from my picture.

  22. taffy trotski RABBITHOLE LATITUDES Avatar

    …then… not “…the man…”

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, I already thought so. 🙂

      1. taffy trotski RABBITHOLE LATITUDES Avatar

        Your photos always draw me in with such a clear narrative;as if they are living things wanting their stories told. I love them!

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Thank you very much for your words.

  23. lancesheridan Avatar

    A very deep philosophical question, rabirius. Do we not, as humans, paint the moment. And, much as a photograph, does it not become a memory in our minds instilled forever. Brilliant work, my friend!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you very much for your words, Lance.

        Ich höre mir gerade das remasterte Anfangsalbum von Dir an (2tes insgesamt angehört)..
        Es ist spannend, wenn auch nicht für meine Frau.
        Ich fühle mich gut unterhalten.
        Das Album könnte auch von “Home Normal” sein oder?! Da habe ich einiges, wenn auch vieles auf Empfehlung.
        Ja, noch einmal: Spannend das alles 🙂
        Album 3 und 4 werden folgen 🙂

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Ja, vielen Dank. Und schön, dass Dir die Musik gefällt. Ich arbeite gerade an einem neuen Album zusammen mit einem Flötisten. Es ist noch vieles nicht fertig, aber ein Stück haben wir schon mal veröffentlicht. Hier ist das Video:

    The depth in this is amazing. I feel like I can reach right into this scene. Beautifully constructed, Rabirius.

      Thanks a lot, Jane. I’m glad you like it.
