Thought provoking art. We do have to stretch ourselves to reach beyond. To, as I like to say, "jump over our own shadow"!

I like this painting. There is something and someone Beyond Nature. The interaction of the elements are to wonderful! Has to be someone smart and powerful to put these together and has been keeping these up. My praise to Him for your image also. Marguerite

(Addendum) I should have used the phrase "auspicious moment" and not "precipitous moment"!
Rich Graham
For one so prolific in producing visual imagery, this brilliant symbolic work seems to summarize your expressive output - the graphic depiction of the "Singularity" before your creative explosion - the "Big Bang" within - and we the viewer continue to feel the "shock waves" emanating from that precipitous moment when your thoughts began to first "color" our own perceptions of Reality.....
Chrisann Ellis
Bruce, Very Moving work and Expressed with Stunning colors and talent... fav/vt!!!
Bruce Combs - REACH BEYOND replied:
Thank you so much, Chrisann. You have so much and varied work displayed. And my very favorite is this self-portrait you created -- as if your strength wasn't already shouting from your other works! But of course a lot of my attraction to this one is your style and technique similar to a lot of work I try for but am so far from ever achieving it as you have here! Thank you for adding so much vitally needed on our earth. Peace, etc. Bruce

Good choice as a trade mark, energy, power, aiming, and a lot more that the rest of your portfolio shows.
