'The God Particle'

It is about Life.  I usually name my paintings before I start.  For this one, I was trying for something dynamic, a "wow" factor.  Looking at the original in person does not have the wow factor that you see here.  I used metallic paints on this and the flash from the camera is what makes this image "pop".  So, I did achieve the wow factor, albeit digitally.  What you can't see very well with this digital image is that I also used charcoal pencil on this painting.  I particularly like the outer blue "cloud mass".

The pattern below would make nice bed linens, or perhaps a shower curtain.  Many possibilities.  Even wrapping paper.
