Lots of energy and excitement in these. May not have the niceties, but certainly complete in my book- from A to Z and with numbers complete. Love the colors, layering, design and compostion of the pieces. See lots of increased intensity in each work as you move toward the lower area in the pieces. Great addition to your whole roughcast series. Thanks for sharing these great artworks with us! Jill
Quite intense, Seth..both of these. You'd think with the blues and greens they would be more etheral but they are both exciting to me. I really love #6...the colors, the woman, all of it. You know I love your work, every time.
smile. be free. have fun.
Peace & Love,

i'mnot looking. no, i'm not.
i looked before i knew not to look, but now i'm not looking.
oh, sure. peeking. but not looking!
Interesting set.
I love the little green/yellow and black dots down the side of Roughcast five. It amazes me how one little element can make a whole piece sing. Both are beautiful pieces.
Seth, now I know what I do. . . roughcast. Definitely.
Out of the series so far, Six is my favorite. "They" say the viewer takes a personal story from the art if they connect, and I really do with this one. That's me balancing through my life now, since my brain tumor, having to think everything through. But I'm still up there, I haven't fallen! Whew that's a lot of heaviness so early in the day. Gotta go do something fun!
These are beautiful! I didn't see the person on RC6 until I clicked to enlarge it. There is so much detail to see in the enlarged pictures - as would be with seeing them in person. Simply beautiful!
I think I'm going to be using the word "roughcast" today. My favorite is the first "5" It reminded me of an album cover for a band I used to follow...

Seth,
I love this whole roughcast technique and the results.
HHmmmm......
I'm thinking that this aqua-scratchy-streety thing that you're working would be perfect wallpaper.
I'll start prepping a wall NOW....
your textures make me swoon.
Your " rough cast" pieces are great... and I love your title and can feel your intense love of the whole artistic process! Thanks for sharing, Roxanne
i really like the colors and energy of these so much, seth, beautiful....
The energy in your work is very exciting to the eye. The layers and texture...yummy. I love Roughcast 5.
chomp chomp chomp..
lots to chew on here..
Interesting restrint in the colors here, very springy. Loving the texture.
Hi Seth! SO lovely! I love the colors you chose and the composition... very nicely done! Hope all is well with you and yours... I hope to get a bundle of paper outside so that I can join your collaboration... I'll let you know if I'm able to pull it off! I'm stumped at trying to figure out what to put outside... do I want to put out an old journal of mine? Or shall I use some recent calligraphy practice done on Arches textwove? Hmmm... it really shouldn't be so hard, should it?!? Have a great day, take care! xoxo
Well done - as usual!!! :>)
Hey, Seth, I really like these pieces. So cool. Love the colors. Now my fingers itch to hold a paint brush so I must go paint, too.
