Literal description: A mesmerizing work of magical realism of a scene of people working to lay tiles that reflect with great precision its obverse. Beholders must look with a keen eye to understand what is taking place in “Still Waters”. Useing water Gonsalves parallel image are shown: a Château & her surroundings reflect upon a smooth blemish free plane. Further sights are where a boat making not a single ripple quietly rests on the tiled surface; likewise a pair of swans behave much just the same. Then, in the foreground, a small group works together to create an surreal masterwork of perception in their environs. With every mirror panel that is laid a new reflection is cast, showing each person that their experienced reality is a reflection of themselves & what they have made. A magical piece of acrylic strokes on canvas is a captivating reminder where every step we takes to the present & gives frame to our self idea of reality & how we construct it for ourselves.

」subjective thoughts on Still Waters「
『 A piece that continually allures the eye where the canvas & visual cortex move to one another in waltz leaving the viewer gazes blissfully. Surrealistic art has always had a charm on me that I've remember as far back when I was a kid. It's pure imagination & creation of another world often so stunningly done distilled by one mind for others to experience. Art & great art oft is an amazing experience to feel; it tickles your mind in the right ways; opens the door for beautiful emotions; utliamtely expanding your mind even if a little bit in a new path. & for me this piece despite its relative tameness compared to other Gonsalves works visually & thematically, inspires such sentiments whenever I look upon it. 』

」 I'd like to apologize to my political followers. I thought I would have my Flint Debate post ready Sunday evening even! Though, I've been so busy in the last (it feels ^exponential that amount of work that's pilled on me) few days I haven't had time finish it. As a concession my Maine Post-mortem post is due to be published within the next hour. Check back to Buddha in da haus to read it. 「
