These are fantastic! I love the etched lines. Our Planet is filling up with byproducts of human nature. Mass consumption, trade, disposal, and commerce have reached every nook and cranny. It's time for all of us to do a serious Spring cleaning. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Two thumbs up.

what an original topic to treat!painting shipping...there must have been some mystery attached to this...for an inquisitive mind, what is inside containers, boxes, whether small or large can awake one's senses, not in the way customs officers do!mechanical, legalistic...your search borders on the chimera, shape, weight and colour...again, thought provoking subject for painting...it's more the bringing in of all those marvellous things, than sending them away...i'm with you!no need to bother with what leave the shores, but i nderstand the marvelling in the ...treasures arriving in...

A Rubix Cube is an item which you either enjoy, feel indifferent, or dislike. So - You have already lost two thirds of the viewers. I myself dislike them.

Ms. Iverson calls our attention to the way man-made beauty and natural beauty are juxtaposed and competing. I'm struck by the fact that the man-made needs natural to survive. My values are clearly in the natural camp - those vanishing points get in teh way and are unnecessary.
