interesting description is it a brain map or brainstorming type?

It seems the artwork ripe has ben described by you with positive connotations I wonder if negative connotations could also be used to describe this artwork especially with all the red fleshy (almost bloody) visuals splattered across the canvas. Incorparating a different angle on the description may widen your veiw point

A good solid effort with a good descriptive photo to display your work well done

Thanks Pam, I really enjoyed this! But I do wonder if instead of just talking about the qualities of the word RIPE, that you might have brainstormed ideas about typeography, pop art, advertising etc...

Just a thought!

Hae yeah
Hmm I was a bit confused at first but I think I know what the writings about. Ok you ready ???? you have presented a brain storm of a Art piece which has been carefully described from your observation. And it seems like you can still get more out of it. By describing what it is and how it looks you are opening more doors to what it could be to you or to what another observer thinks. (BTW I can’t quite make out some of the words but I get the point) like from a religion point of view it may be seen a bit provocative (RIPE) because I can see you’ve put beauty, juicy and mature in your brain storm. I’ve heard of plants, flowers and fruits been refer as a female or female parts and in religion its all about the holies of holies and vergin this and that. The piece (to me) could be poking the question, is she ripe yet? ripe for the taking. Well that’s me leading off of your brainstorm. And I leave with this there is no bad ideas when brain storming as long as your paths starts from the beginning.
