From Rusty: I purchased this Kaleidoscope for my collection a year ago. I always find peace in myself when I look through the ever changing reflections.

Wonderful concept Rusty. I so love Kaleidoscopes also. Very soothing. I especially like the leading on the glass holder. (It looks just like the little one I have.)

Terrific, Rusty! Love the initial Abstract impact and then the fine detail on closer inspection. The large amount of negative space really works great here!

3 sided?….bet this is a treasure as the artwork is.

I have a small collection. It might be interesting to do these in a series. I might have trouble getting the painting completed for looking through the piece.

Gwen,
The stark white was just about the only way to convey the light needed to get the projected colors on the surface. I thought long and hard about it. I think it works too, thank you.

This is beautiful, Rusty. Is it just me or is there a face with a big red nose. Great fun, great image and so softly painted. Love your background.
