'AUgmentation' Posted by Hello this one goes further with the whimsicalness, wherein the title not only does the 'golden egg' notion, but uses the whole word itself as to pointing out a shift to the visual - that it is a CHICKEN laying a gold egg... but, of course, the 'augmentation' comes from the artist, who has made the egg gold, this being implied by the paint can on which the chicken is sitting, the implication being that 'man' adds to the improvement of the world around him - not just visually but in value... note that each of these examples, despite being cliche riddened, and on perhaps the whimsical side, make moral statements, as do all renderings... the universe in each is sharp and clear, no blurring ambiguities here... nor, for that matter, will you find that in any of my works... clarity is the hallmark of rationality... note, too, that the colors are not muddled, but very defined, vibrant, and pure... note that the viewpoint in each is positive, life enhancing - there is no sense of temporal decay in any of the works... note also that in the whimsy, there is no frivolousness, that there is definite purposefulness in each of the examples, a sense of goal directiveness...
