Greetings and Salutations,
Greetings and Salutations, to Master Madman
to you the like of which are few, watching u we do, this art you now show, talks to us on the go.

Soft muted light effectuating illumination from the lower right upward trajectories grace magnificently the geometrousity, adding drama to the stage, a stage of life before death Thank you! Very deep thought provoking!

intro


When alone we become more so, when we think about our very personal thoughts and where they come from.
The art you place at our visions door, reflects not just your decision, but many things more, ones minds abstraction symbolic expressionism releasements, reflects your states mood pensive obsessions mental increasements, fore which by their nature, are alerted to skirt dismal darkness fates, reds coming does not abate, one who wonders into your picture seeker calmly he his tranquility, in this sound filled special place, a kind of musician he be, with its candle stick like instruments at the ready to be struck so it can play his tune with tenacity on the outskirts of this dark room?



Thank you!

Very interesting image and composition.   A lot of artistic qualities about it.   Just cannot figure out how the title fits in.    :D
 

Thanks mclarekin, that's not a bad idea. I might try a high resolution render and have it printed on canvas

Thank you Weavers, you always get right to the heart of it  :dink:

And Nahee, the title is definitely connected to the image. I'll leave it to you to figure it out  ;D

If it had been even remotely obvious, then I would not have made the statement I did.   I see no trees, no reddish round fruit, nor anything to resemble any such objects.
And since you are unable to be forthcoming in explaining it, I will have to assume that there really is no connection at all, just a made up name with no meaning.    :headbatting:
 

Ah, but the fact that you don't see the connection between the title and the image doesn't mean that it isn't there  :dink:.
The fact that you are looking for reddish round fruit only tells me that you're not looking remotely enough to find the obvious  ;D ;D

its for picking them up one by one ?! i mean with the spikes ?!
i would rather expect a 2 spiked fork :D

:loser: Just because there is something within an image that resembles a few tube like structures converging at a single point (on which happens to appear to be a viscous like substance), does not mean it was meant for "picking cherries".   Especially since there is nothing else in the image that represents fruit of any kind, much less cherries.
 :headbatting: There is nothing to scale the objects within the image to show that they are even anywhere near the size of "cherries".   For that matter, this could be a device for sampling and monitoring the substance for which it is encountering.   Might as well say this is an elephant liquidation machine, or a chocolate additive device, or a a red cloud formation controller, or any number of made up names.
Cannot wait to see somebody create an image of a pair of tweezers and call it "The Craft of Plucking Grapefruit".   :stickingouttongue:
 

If one thinks a bit more abstractly, it works on many levels.

Trying to make sense of things is a sign of sanity, and this - being the Art of Madman - is best appreciated without any such efforts.

Besides, Picking Cherries can have other meanings than plucking fruit.  The phrase "Cherry Picking" has the meaning of selecting the best from a group - nothing to do with fruit there.

Perhaps Madman ate all the cherries, and that's why nobody seems able to find them.

AND it earned a Weavers reply - no small feat, that.

And then there's the Naughty definition of Cherry which we're best off not discussing in detail.

I'm sure there's more.

I think it's a unique piece with interesting composition and a nice color scheme.  Well done, MM!

Ok, Ok, I admit it, I stole the cherry, everyone can stop looking now.

Sorry, but I cannot help being a sane individual.  :dink:

:whatever: Yet another prime example of why some images should not have a title, unless the author is willing to explain it in some detail.

Just hope I never earn one of those crazy reply comments!!!  :canadian:   That person seems to show signs of mental problems; probably been self-medicating for way too long!!!
  :headbatting:

I believe the term there is "popping cherries", not picking them.  And even that would not really fit the image.   :banginghead:


I have never said it was not a good image, because I did like it.   (See my original comment just below.)

Here is an artwork with title for you Nahee  :tease:

You should work on that.  Sanity is nothing but a One-Trick Pony.  All you get is Rational Thinking.  But when you're good and Crazy - The Sky's The Limit!


Weavers is one of those Special Cases.  They appear to be more than one person, and actually are quite entertaining if you read their stuff with a pillar of salt.


Well, if you want to get technical, the term is Cherry - "popping cherries" is just one of many phrases associated with the term.   :-*  As our resident Expert on All Things Perverted, I could list many more, but those dang terms of service prevent me from so doing...


Didn't mean to imply you never said such a thing - just giving my opinion, which happens to concur with yours on this point!   :banana: :chilli: :banana:

Then what is it??   :D
And by the way, nice to see you can post an image worth viewing!!!   :rotfl:
 

Click the link then! I could see it the other day, don't know why it doesnt show now.

I first wrote something in anger as reaction to your "joke". On second thought I take back my remark.
As someone said "If You Haven’t Got Anything Nice to Say, Then Don’t Say Anything At All"  :-X

:headbatting:  There is no link in your reply posting to click.  There was only an image of a pipe used typically for the smoking of tobacco, with a brief sentence (written in French) as part of the image, which translated to:  "This is not a pipe."    Which is why I asked the question of:  "Then what is it??"    The only other thing in your reply posting was a brief sentence stating the so-called "artwork" was for my company name.   (Though I fail to see why my company name would even care to have such an image.)    :stickingouttongue:

I did say something "nice" about the image you shared with us.   I said it was "worth viewing".  :rotfl:    I can hardly wait for you to share more "artwork" of this caliber.   :D
 

I was vaguely aware of Magritte's infamous painting.
Thank you Sitting Duck for spurring me to investigate.

I may not know much about art,
But I know not to complete this cliche.

so, it surely was not a pipe, but a picture of it :)

so, lets stick to the main goal: find out what that picture has to do with picking cherries!!

I like this thread  O0, and I just had to share my "old" fractal pastiche...

Agreed !!    :)


Maybe the original posting of this topic should have been titled:   "Ceci n'est pas une cerise cueilleur."   :D
 

Hmm Johan, is it a pavlovian response to every post that mentions Magritte, or is it just a blatant form of advertising your own oldies ??  :dink:


Ceci n'est pas français   :angel1:

The best I could do with my limited French (not really a language I felt was worth knowing).   My English, Spanish, German, Siamese, Pig Latin, and Gibberish are much better.    :dink:
