Using long uninterrupted lines of color, I experimented on the shape and path each color took. In so doing, the focus of the eye moves from one pattern of lines to the next, observing the differences. There are multiple areas that draw the eye, thus the title. The lines are but one of the points of focus. The colors of course are another as they are somewhat more isolated from each other than my previous works. The sheen of the individual paint colors are again another point of focus, depending upon the lighting used to illuminate the painting. That is also why this painting isn't varnished as it would destroy the individual sheen differences between some of the colors. Experiments aside, what I find most interesting with this piece is that each viewer will see something wildly different in it. That is one of the appealing things about abstract painting. So, tell me, what story do you see in this piece?
