trippy new post-Christmas artwork (object landscapes)

I've stepped away from the RGB universe for a bit to play in a new mode, this one a fusion of several techniques I've used in the past. What these images all share is that in each there is some sort of strange object positioned in a space, in a vague, abstracted landscape of whatever sort. In each work I've tried to keep the focus on the object and make the background world very simple.

Gumdrop Jewel Mountain (2019) digital art by Kevin McLaughlin.

There's a cold, tundra-like feel to this one that I like. What does it make you think of?

Terrarium (2019) digital art by Kevin McLaughlin

This one is warmer, sort of a basket / jaw / ark / terrarium... it's always hard to pick one word because the things I depict usually end up being multiple things at once, to me. The confusion I'm hoping to create in the viewer's eye ("what IS it?") is a feature, not a bug.

Seedling (2019) digital art by Kevin McLaughlin

This one is a bit more chart-like, more architectural, like the beginnings of a building are springing out of the earth. I may develop the background with a bit more color, but in its current form I like that it supports (and does not competes with) the main figure.

Thanks for taking a look my newest images at the tail end of 2019!! Happy New Year!!
