Interesting image, Bill. A month ago it would have been perhaps relaxing Sunday afternoon scene in a public place with some family groups...but today it brings to mind ghostly figures in a coronavirus epidemic. To me anyhow. Bill it would be interesting to know your intention with the image.

Thanks, Stu. When I created the image I was thinking of one of the story lines in the book"The Children of Men" by P.D. James. Your take on the image however fits perfectly. One of the things I love about art is how each viewer can see the same each image and can react to it in their own way. Bill

Interesting! While I suppose that for any image each viewer will bring their own unique perspective to their interpretation, it seems that the more abstract an image, the more room there is for interpretation. What I find most intriguing in many of your images is that they occupy the borderland between representational and abstract. Often there are human figures or faces, but in the context of somewhat abstract, ambiguous settings. This gives me as a viewer pause as I work to come up with an interpretation, to find meaning in many of your images.
