It’s interesting how with many abstracts we’re looking for parallels in our material world, as some of the comments above make clear. With me, for instance, I immediately thought of those trompe-l’oeil skyscapes that Mannerist painters depicted on ceilings and interiors of domes, usually with putti and Greek goddesses wafting around. But that’s human nature, we can only think in the metaphors of our own experiences.
Oh, and great image, Ashley! (An oil slick in a puddle? There I go again!)
Is an Abstract Square, really hip or only cool ?
Does the Abstract Square groove with the times or bend with the future ?
Turn a corner and you meet the Abstract Square posing for Ashley’s camera – this is where it’s at. 🙂
Oh, Ash! This is fantastic!
Thanks so much, Ken. 😀
What a marvelous adventure!
Agree.
Thanks, Barry! 😀
Thank you! What do I call you? MF?
Love this one.
Thanks, Lynn. Good to see you. I hope you’re well. ☺
This one looks like creation of the universe just as it started. Wow.
Thanks, Claudia! 😀
Hmm, love the colours and swirling patterns – Primordial Soup?!!
Thanks, Sue. This one seems to have set off people’s imaginations. I like that. ☺
That’s what it should all be about

Thank you, Chris. I’d love to see little putti and beautiful goddesses floating about in the sky!
I’ll put in a request to the powers that be…
Oh, good! 😃
In which Milky Way are you floating around?… Top!
No idea but I like floating (away). 😊
Cosmic gas!
Ah! So that’s why I feel a bit funny. 😉
😁
😳
Fantastic!
Thanks so much, Lemony.

Maybe it’s hot. Or maybe tepid. 😀
If it is pavement in the Australian sun it would be hot – but then it would be concrete abstract, which is very cool. 🙂
Haha! 😃
This is very cool
Thank you. ☺
