It doesn't surprise me that Fall of the Seraphim is your favorite. It is the only one where the photographs are secondary. It is actually digitally painted with photos only used as textures. It was a personal piece for me, paralleling the angels fall with someone who was once held in high regards falling from grace. Thanks again for taking the time to visit and comment. Hope to see your work sometime. Joey Thanks for the comments Michelle. It doesn’t surprise me that Fall of the Seraphim is your favorite. It is the only one where the photographs are secondary.

I did not know about it. Did not want to join so I will comment about your art here. I liked the touched up photos very much---my favorite is Fall of the Seraphim. Use of yellow, red, and black along with the sense of desperate, flailing motion as showed by the striated texture was very effective. Joey, Thanks for the link to Deviant Art.

Some of the stuff found on the link are generic photographs, although I try and focus on a creative or artistic approach. Some of the earlier stuff is more expressive and I took liberties with the digital medium. http://machine-malfunction.deviantart.com/gallery/ Joey Michelle,

Oddly, I have never thought of displaying my artwork on the Net!!! But now since you have planted the seed of possibility in that regard, it may happen, and I will be sure to inform you if it does. Briefly, I love color and rounded forms, and veer to realism in my style. Is any of your artwork accessible though the net? Perhaps your missing the canvas will build up someday, and you will just go back to it. Joey, I am very glad that you like my writing.

Focus on your creativity without being bothered that you are not 'artistic'. And I am very pleased that you appreciate my posts!

Patterns really are everywhere. Another angle to approach the price action is by perceiving it as a musical work. I can't do this, and I'm creative but not artistic, so what I like to do is come up with various fundamental hypothesis and test them in the market. The market in fascinating in that it has something for all personalities ... or should I say that every personality has something for the market? Also, your comment that "chart readers seem more accommodative with users of fundamentals than the other way around" is so very true. It may be related to the fact that most fundamental analysts are schooled in economics, which teaches that the market is at least 'weak form efficient', which is another way of saying all the information from past price action is already in the price, so technical analysis is redundant. Of course, this doesn't match up with the fact that in the real world, nearly all traders consult the charts in one form or another. Nice post Michelle. Patterns really are everywhere.

I would love to see some of your art work. Do you have any of it online? I'm big into art as well, although I've pretty much given up canvas for digital media. I do miss it though. Joey Michelle,

Maybe this is why I stare at charts so much. I will not give up on discretionary trading just yet. Hopefully there is a niche somewhere in the discretionary realm for my brain type... I too enjoy reading your insightful posts. Well, I have no artistic talent whatsoever… :((
