Communication!

Exclamatory
Exclamatory 3 X 3 X 3/8 inches. Acrylic on canvas.

A writer friend of mine has a thing against the exclamation point. The sentiment being that good writing doesn't require such emphasis as this loud punctuation mark lends. 

When it comes to literature, I can understand his argument. When it comes to art, this emphatic little beauty conveys a great deal. (!)

And with online communication, the lack of body language, tone and facial expression requires the occasional emphasis! To convey mood! And intension! It's almost as useful as the smiley face!

Have a great day :)
