@ZeBeFruity Thank you and wow...that is really quite interesting. I call that painting "contacting the mother ship" and it was inspired because I am ham radio operator. That is quite an interesting thing that you have markings similar!
You produce work like this, and then have the audacity to say "dont be too critical". Surely, you jest. You have a wonderful ability and marvelous interpretive skill. Your perspective speaks vibrantly, and color is both your inner solace and resonant joy. Done within 9 months, eh? Your progress from the first 'prison' painting to the latter canvases is rather astounding. You have some wonderful works painted here, Michele. Thank you for pointing me to your playlists, for they contain...
(cont'd) ...wonderful windows into your inner, creative self. You are a kindred Spirit, my friend, and I think I know what you feel while riding down a new and unfamiliar wilderness road on your scooter. That kind of smile comes from the expressive soul.
@harleynanda Thank you so very much for this wonderful and insightful comment. I haven't been painting a lot over the past six months but once my concert season is over, I'm getting the canvases back out and am going to paint BIG! The painting is such a great therapy....it is amazing what comes out!
I nearly drove by - but stopped - smelt the flowers and lingered in the arboretum, hugged the trees, had coffee in the shack. Keep the car, I'm floating home. xx
Thank you SO very much...I wish I knew what I was doing...heheh Working on some "tunnel" paintings right now...will share them much later when they are done. Thank you for the inspiration to keep painting!
Thank you so very much...I'm such a newbie but I'm having fun learning. Yes, I LOVE painting with oil. Most of these are acrylic but the oil ones have been the most rewarding! Thanks!
Wow! You have some nice little gallery going Raven. I love your paintings,very beautiful and peaceful. You also show lots of diversity in your art. And at first you thought you couldn't paint? Look at you now,you're an artist. :)
Remarkable! It's hard to believe you're a newbie, it looks like you've been doing this forever. Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks fpr sharing it with us.
Beautiful work!! Love the abstracts, but then, I tend to lean toward abstract work. I know it's difficult to show someone who you think is very good, your work, but you have shown all of us, so you shouldn't hesitate to show him. You are very gifted. Thank you for sharing and I hope to see more. Maybe a video of you painting.
Thank you so very much! There is a video that I'm going to reload where I took some shots during the process of painting some poppies and someday I'll do more like that. Thank you for your kindness!
Wow, I love every one!! You are so good! I would have thought you have been painting for years! Great subjects and so varied.. It's surprising that you do both landscapes & still lifes, and then do some abstract as well. You clearly have talent in all genres of art and subject! xoxo
Thank you Judy....it has felt like I've painted for years. Perhaps I've done it in my former life. My girlfriend's brother is an outstanding professional painter and I told him that I'm NEVER showing him my stuff...hehehehe
Wow!!! Amazingly BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love your vibrant color choices and subject matter too! Looks like you have been painting your entire life! Your talents are never ending...:-) xoxoxoxo
Thank you Caylyn...it has been neat to see what has been coming out. Doing abstracts is my favorite though because there's nothing that I'm trying to make it look like. xoxoxox
beautiful paintings. interesting...the symbols on your painting at 1:40 i branded on myself 30 years ago during my first coming out.
