This one has been ignored long enough. You need to really watch your cropping. If you include the frame, you must also include all of the frame. Otherwise, the viewer feels robbed by not seeing the whole thing. Or, crop out all of the frame. The shooting beams of light from the sky reminds me of some of the conspiracy shows about aliens and nuclear wars supposedly occurring about 5,000 years before nuclear weapons were invented. I do like your stylized presentation of good and evil in continuous battle.

I agree... could you repost an photo, with the whole painting captured??? frame included. It presently appears the white horses on the left are cut-off just a bit... which I doubt that is what is really happening with the painting. I do like your stylized approach in the work however.

thank you Carl and Jenn for your insightfull comment .. and I already fixed it ..
its a big painting 330 x 145 cm .. I try to capture a whole painting .. but I dont have a good cammera ..
If I take photo long shot for a whole paintings .. the photo image is so faint .. Soo I was forced to take picture in the middle .. and there is it ..
thank you for your attention .. I very appreciate ..

Properly cropped this is a most excellent and dynamic painting. I am enjoying looking at this one. Thank you.

You are welcome, Sumantri. I am also learning from you. How you can splash dribble color into forms in your landscapes is marvelous. Your stylized eastern art sensibility mixed with western form description technique skillfully manifests a pleasant confused interest in the viewer. Your work is unique. Thanks for sharing.
