“Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends on what we look for.
What we look for depends on what we think.
What we think depends on what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.”
– David Bohm

I had the words first this time. Not overly pleased with this piece. But will try again with similar techniques. 😉💙

How would you like to change it? I’m just curious… 😃

I added too much iridescent and it needs more white /light left on it. It also needs a more focused focal point. Agree? 😝

I had to go back and take another look. 😃 I think you are right, it could use more of a focal point. The gold looks great but it is a lot like the color red… a little goes a long way! ❤ I don’t know if it needs more white. When I look at the Milky Way it doesn’t have a lot of light. So I suppose it depends on the look you are going for. 🌌

Lol. Me too. I could read it over and over and it begins to make sense. The painting was done after the writing so I’m glad it represented well to you. 😉💙

Reality is an abstract concept, Jodi. Everyone sees it differently. I see realities merging in your painting.
