Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience,
and our aesthetic enjoyment is the recognition of the pattern. ~Alfred North Whitehead

A palindrome is a word or pattern that instead of developing in different directions it folds in on itself
so that the beginning and end mirror each other, that they are the same.
~ Todd Solondz (American film director and screenwriter)
This is wonderful; full of the usual interest but this time my favourite colours! It occurs to me that no one can touch you when it comes to the pattern stakes.
i like this and the one you did last week for infinite. nicely done
Both your painting and the quote are so thought-provoking. There’s so much to see in your piece. I could spend hours lookin at it (from all directions!)
This is just beautiful. I love the pattern and textures.
I love the richness of this piece, both in pattern and in color. Yummy!
