Barbed

[Steven Dillon]

Barbed is a composition from the Hickory Top WMA near Pinewood, SC.

From my blog The Artist's Story:
"Though not pretty per se (I do like the red bands and the yellowish tips), it certainly met my criteria of being interesting. As I began to more closely explore the subject in Barbed, I favored an abstract composition. To create a mixture of antagonism and beauty, I found a perspective that felt like I was looking down into a pain inducing tunnel or the throat of a monster. The reds, yellows, and spikes endow the piece with a menacing feeling while the greens and softer looking hairs help calm that back down. At the focal point, the high level of detail allows surface texture, individual hairs, and the sharpness of the barbs to be visible."

Very nice! That little splash of red on the spikes makes it.

Reminds me a little of the things in Stephen King's "Langoliers"
