Sead-Soni PozegicSTORMY SHADES |
 | This looks like very complicated work, i can see different layers of it, the front, the back. Such incredible level of realism, all those trees are almost real. And there is a blue sky, as an interesting element, done in whole different style, i can even bet i was painted first, as a background. Gre... 10/3/2012 |
 | This piece strikes a chord with me. Whether by chance or by design, the scene is nearly identical to the woods and lake outside my friend's family-owned campsite in northern Michigan. The bowl-like shaping of the piece makes it feel inclusive as well: a protected and protect ive haven. 9/26/2012 |
 | It takes a moment for the viewer to see what distinguishes this work from typical wooded scenes. The strong lines of the trees are really interesting in this image, and there is a quality of light captured that is truly evocative of a dynamic sky as clouds build before a storm. I also like the subtl... 9/26/2012 |
Dominique FaivreLa grange abandonnee |
 | Hello yes, it is the background is the side of a old barn. I just wanted to show new and old, thanks. Dominique 10/1/2012 |
| Simple, fresh, the tree can represent the start of life here, but i do not understand the meaning of a background. 10/1/2012 |
 | Thank you for your kind remarks about my late husbands work. It is extremely gratifying to me, knowing his art is still appreciated. Sincerely, Inge von Pongracz 10/1/2012 |
| Great portrait, such incredible level of realism. I can see all the lines on man's forehead, shadow work is great too. Love it 10/1/2012 |
| The fine detail captured here is truly amazing, especially considering that this was done in pastels! I love how the artist showed the lines in his subject's face, allowing the man's features to tell their own story. The background is also nicely done. It contrasts just enough to not get confused wi... 9/26/2012 |
| It takes a lot of skill to achieve this level of realistic detail with pastels, especially in a human portrait. Bravo! The blurred background and fadeaway in the foreground is a nice touch. 9/26/2012 |
| Ppl like you get all the bairns. I just get to say thanks for he answer. 12/30/2011 |
Alejandro CabezaFrancisco Garzon Cespedes... |
| Nice portrait, good choice of colors, not many shades are also nice. The man on a picture has very straight and strong look, looks very powerful. 10/1/2012 |
Laura PelickJourney III - Discovery... |
| Such a nice painting, i like all those round forms that comes from moon (or sun), this is very interesting fantasy world. My eyes are focused on a girl, she is main subject here, very lovely. 10/1/2012 |
| I always enjoy works like this with a surreal edge. The title implies layers of story that are only hinted at in the image itself. The stone-like larger faces, in contrast with the glow of the central figure, really make this work. 8/29/2012 |
Victoria KempAngry Painting |
| This abstract painting looks like some kind ofIndiansymbols. Good choice with yellow color, it highlights those figures very nice. 10/1/2012 |
| The harsh, geometric nature of this piece makes it slightly jarring to view -- quite fitting when one considers the title. I feel like the colors would be much better viewed in person instead of over a screen, though they're still quite vibrant in this medium. 9/4/2012 |

Jessica Perryperfect confidence
|
| Nice portrait, looks very lovely. Great hair, in color of fire, i also like the fact that you painted even a light that fall on her head, that add the whole different colors to the picture. Great work. 10/1/2012 |
| There is technical skill here, but there's also a lot of emotion, and the two aspects together make this an amazing painting. The choice to capture all of the nuances of color in the hair really brings it alive and strengthens the composition. Very nice work! 9/5/2012 |
| Just keep pcrctiaing. Actually, playing the guitar is so much harder than people think it is. Instead of trying to play tons of different riffs, just pick one and learn it really well. Once you have memorized it by heart, try closing your eyes while playing it. Then, move on to the next riff, and le... 2/5/2012 |
 | I like this too |
 | I have really enjoyed reading all of the comments and interpretations of this piece. I reallylike judith's "she's critical of herself and compares her reflection with society's prescript of beauty which makes her feel a little insecure" Thanks everyone again! Jess |

Patrick AntonelleWinter in Central Park... |
| This painting looks very lovely, it even has some kind of magic about it, because of the winter time. It's really transfers the atmosphere. Good work 10/1/2012 |
| I like this gentle scene from the past. The echo of strong diagonals in the cityscape and the treeline is especially nice. The juxtaposition of warm and cool tones between the buildings and sky was also an effective choice. 9/26/2012 |
Kevin CarrMisty Morning |
| Misty morning indeed, also kind of lonely one. My eyes are focusing on the bird, it looks gorgeous, but very sad because its standing alone. I also like that you didn't over loaded this picture with details, that way your background isreallysoft andpeaceful, while bird are standing out. 10/1/2012 |
| The composition in this piece does a lovely job of framing the focal point of the bird. You can really see the mists rising off the water. Nice job! 9/26/2012 |
Alonso Alba Bessonnier (de)Espuma |
| This is very interesting art, it looks very nice and neat. I like colors you used. Is it finished piece? or you are in the middle of your work? 10/1/2012 |
| What a lovely, delicate work. It's so thoughtfully done with great attention to each small section. This is a testimony to the fact that great artwork is sometimes very quiet. 9/26/2012 |
| the cyclist frmoally known as BSNYC, nice work. i was working on an aztec/graffiti themed bike for the FGG, but looks like toons beat me to it... 3/7/2012 |

Cecilia JuckerLiz |
| Interesting piece, those black eyes are looking very lovely. Nice touch with highlighting all facial lines, and leaving all rest of the body in grey colors. It looks very beautiful 10/1/2012 |
| I love the subtle quality of this painting. Using shades of gray, black, and white to create an instantly-recognizable portrait of an icon was clever, as well as evocative of old movies. The eyes and lips really jump out at you. 9/26/2012 |
| The medium is beautifully handled in this simple portrait, which is so realistically portrayed that I would have recognized the subject even without the hint of the title. The high contrast, with focus on the facial features, is nicely done. 9/26/2012 |
| I agree. The eyes really draw the viewer's attention. 3/13/2012 |
| Great study of Elizabeth Taylor! I like that for the watercolor you chose only black and white. She was part of the golden age of Hollywood, films were all in black and white. Wonderful job. 3/13/2012 |
Danie StrydomThere is only Pain |
| Interesting style, looks very nice. I like all that color mix, from first sight it looks like this picture is just a mess, but when i look closely i understand that everything is planed exactly as it need to be. Looks very nice.Good job 9/29/2012 |
| A really interesting piece that clearly hints at a story, based on the title and the gestures of the two figures. What I like most about this painting, though, is the layer of what looks like a charcoal drawing over the background patterns. The composition also adds a great deal of intrigue. 9/19/2012 |
Laura den HertogTwisted Cheese and fresh bread... |
| Interesting composition, such a great level of realism, that its hard to believe this painted by oils. The main focus of this picture is table cover, and not objects them selfs. That make leaves a hole for viewer curiosity, because i can't see clearly what is on the table. 9/29/2012 |
| Thanks so much! 9/20/2012 |
| Wow! From the wood grain to the tablecloth folds and bread crust texture, you got it all down perfectly here. I love the glow of that blue, too, and the floral pattern on the cloth. Beautiful work. 9/19/2012 |
Alexander SadoyanMusical Instruments |
| That is certainly drawn by music lover, interesting way to combine so many music instruments. Not ordinary idea, looks very lovely. Good job. 9/29/2012 |
| I like this mix of realism and geometric pattern, especially the way that the realistically depicted objects fade into the background marks at so many points. Nicely composed, as well. 9/19/2012 |
| This is a wonderful work of art!Congratulations! :-) 9/18/2012 |
 | I would like to see this enlarged. Perhaps a sequalusing a larger canvas . . . Edward |
 | This is NICE! VERY NICE!! -b jAXON |

Rimantas VirbickasIn The City |
| Such a lonely feeling, when looking at this picture. Still this is very romantic, rain, people walking on a night street, the city is living. Nice context, i love thouse colors and greatly done with reflecting floor. 9/27/2012 |
|
deborah Anne neroSpanky Bear |
| Such a cute kitty, it looks just like real one would look on a picture. Amazing work on details, colors are nicely chosen, there is something so simple but so beautifull in just black and white. 9/27/2012 |
Eva CampbellThe Dreaming Bird
|
| Gorgeous work, looks like you really knew what you been doing. I like that every detail on this picture has double meaning, and slowly transfers to something else. My eyes are running from one end to another, so there are so many things to see here. Beautiful piece. 9/27/2012 |
| This piece succeeds on many levels. The composition, texture, and palette work well together. The sense of a strong light source is really effective. The fantastical element of implied symbolic relationship between the bird and figure is very intriguing. Nice work! 9/5/2012 |
| This piece caught my eye as the colors are vibrant and the suject matter is delightful ! 6/18/2012 |
 | Always appreciate your vote. Ev. |
| I didn't join in CC for a long time, and it was a pleasant surprise to see your comment! This painting stands as one of my favorites since I painted it and it was nice to hear of new impressions. Have a happy New Year and lot of inspiration! I wish the same and to all people of d'ART! Eva |

Irena OrlovPassion |
| Nice composition, red is a winning color in this one. The fact that lines are a bit smeared makes this painting unique. Good job 9/27/2012 |
| This type of imagery has probably been done a million times, but somehow it really works here. Part of the success of this painting may be due to the emphasis on the red dress, which seems to be suggestive of the dancers' deep involvement in their movements. The textures in the background are also a... 9/5/2012 |
Mark HerringThe Musician |
| I just don't believe my eyes, this is way too much realistic for the painting. Awesome job, great portrait. 9/27/2012 |
| I really enjoy the contrast of the colorful garments and head garb with deep neutrals of the instrument and background. The subject's age and skin is meticulously painted, and a fantastic center of interest despite the more colorful elements around it. Excellent technical handling, I'd love to see t... 9/20/2012 |
| Wow -- this piece is breathtaking. Exquisitely skillful. Soulful, too -- I'm drawn to the unreadable expression on the man's face and what it could mean. 9/5/2012 |
| The expression of the musician's face is masterfully done -- it tells a story all its own. I'm also really impressed by the detailed folds of the turban: I initially thought this was a photograph! 9/4/2012 |
| A man is ready to do his thing 1/15/2012 |
Alexander SadoyanConstancy |
| This is interesting style, it is always makes me wonder if its part of something big or just separate pieces. It looks like some kind of elephand or a happy face to me. Also nice touch with a background, brings whole different mood to this picture when its smeared. 9/27/2012 |
| The composition of this abstract work is what makes it so effective. The viewer gets the feeling of looking at a pile of ephemeral personal materials, due to the varied colors of the central area and the fading out of the background. I would be interested in hearing the artist explain the relationsh... 9/26/2012 |
Jorge BerlatoThaw 41 |
| Really intriguing, especially with the muted fade of color. The texture of the grid is so interesting. Is it a depicted texture (painted on) or did you actually use some type of textural material in the work? 9/26/2012 |
|
Gia GugushviliRehearsal |
| This is an intriguing work, with the folk art type of representational style of the main figure, juxtaposed with the gestural movement of the dog and the much more realistic depiction of the wind instrument. The use of a somewhat jarring palette is an interesting choice that I presume to be intentio... 9/26/2012 |
|
Vladimiras NikonovasThe Rooster |
| This is really playful and whimsical. It looks like it belongs in a children's book, or perhaps a modern fairy tale. Using a plain background was a good choice; more color or patterns would have detracted from the machinery in the forefront. 9/26/2012 |
| I love the whimsy of this piece. The arrangement of elements in the frame is really effective in terms of a sense of dynamic potential. Nicely done! 9/26/2012 |
|
Ariadna de RaadtEast |
| I really like the strong, graphic shapes and varied lines in this painting. It's really successful in engaging the eye, with a great balance of color and all those sweeping lines. A really fun work that I find invigorating. 9/26/2012 |
|
CAREN THOMPSONMISSING YOU |
| Nice brush strokes and variation in this piece. The composition and the gesture of the woman depicted make this portrait particularly interesting. The title adds an interesting backstory. 9/26/2012 |
| This is magnificent painting, such a real details, amazing use of white colour brings in life in this portrait. The lady is very beautiful. I just do not understand why you didn't gave her the whole space, but left some background on top of her. 9/23/2012 |
Laura TasheikoLoyalty of the Mind #8... |
| Interesting color palette here. I particularly enjoy the blending and subtle marks of the blue areas, which have a watercolor or gouache feel. This piece also makes me think of the interesting marks that occur in an inkblot type of print effect. 9/26/2012 |
| This looks like different shades of water, so easy they are mixing with each other. I like colors combine, that looks like - happy picture that way. 9/23/2012 |
Marion BerryBlue Waves Lampwork Glass Brac... |
| This is really beautiful glasswork. The consistency in color in the blue beads is excellent, while the mismatched patterning keeps it from looking boring. I like the twisted wire design in the clasp as well, since it makes a functional part as decorative as the rest. 9/25/2012 |
| This gorgeous bracelet, so simple but so beautiful. Nice combination of pure white and crystalline with blue color, this is really unique piece. 9/23/2012 |
Trisha LambiSolitary Teacup |
| Such a soft colors, and all those line, this is not like you imagine the cup of coffee in the morning, but this one is just calming me down and giving me desire for sleep. Nice job 9/23/2012 |
| This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best breggols I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article. 3/6/2012 |
 | Your comments Michael are particularly insightful - I'm glad this painting has resonated with you. And Lad it would be an honour to hang in the cafe!! |
 | The curves, the movement & the free flowing design make this painting seem alive! Everything appears to be growing out of the same texture... and this adds to its over all appeal and dream-like quality. |
| Trisha: There's something about this work that I like very much, though I can't quite put my finger on it. I find the crackled texture from thick use of paint brilliant. The sensuality of the curves ( which gives this an almost figurative look and feel) along with the warm and pleasing colors... |
Patrick Gysembergdarko |
| Beautiful dog portrait. Nice choice for background colors, this way dog seems more gorgeous. Good use of white color, in dog portrait. Great work 9/21/2012 |
|
deborah Anne neroMoon Face |
| Nice picture, too bad it is so small here, and it's hard to see the details. But from what i can see i like colors and shades. Moon are looking very lovely in that corner, good job. 9/20/2012 |
| This piece is so spare, it comes across at first as a photograph rather than an oil painting. I love the deep blue, the orange tint of the moon, and the implied moonlight on the bridge. Very nice. 9/4/2012 |
Daniela CulicencuBlack Beauty Tree |
| What a lovely view of this sculptural work. The hematite and silver wire play off each other in such an arresting way. Wish I could see this piece in person! 9/19/2012 |
| The photograph of this piece is stunning, and the piece itself is utterly gorgeous. I really wish I could see it in more angles -- it's very much a three-dimensional artwork. Beautifully done! 9/4/2012 |
|
Tuan Lam Anhoil painting by Vietnamese pai... |
| What a wonderful scene. There's a sense of serenity, yet also a burst of energy in the red of the tree at left. I love the brushwork in the trees and lily pads. 9/19/2012 |
| I like your style, it's absolutely gorgeous. Very nice work 9/13/2012 |
|
Ariadna de Raadtvillage in mountains |
| I really enjoy the intense hues of this painting, which has such a watercolor feel in the execution. My favorite aspect is the winding line created by the layout of the landscape and buildings, all the way down into the water. Lovely! 9/19/2012 |
|
Jonas DailidenasBridge |
| Such a mysterious, intriguing world is depicted here. There's an ancient and dreamlike feeling evoked in the simple architecture of this environment, as well as the small size of the human figures in comparison. The central figure here is the bridge and the water that it spans. I would be curious to... 9/19/2012 |
| I see some sort of magical world here. There are some accurate parts but mostly some smearing ones, which leaves room to imagination for completing a story. I love use of orange color, in it's different variations. 9/1/2012 |
Elena Proninaflamingoes |
| Elena, no problem. Best of luck to you! 9/19/2012 |
| I love how the ripples in the water focus the eye immediately upon the birds. The combination of shapes and contrasting bright colors make for a strongly-focused painting. 9/16/2012 |
 | Thank you very much for the wonderful words! I appreciate your opinion ! 9/16/2012 |
| Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it very much! 9/16/2012 |
| The best aspect of this painting is the choice to surround the delicate postures of the flamingoes with rippling water. Very effective! The color palette is also very pleasing. 9/4/2012 |
|
tuan lam anhoil painting by Vietnamese pai... |
| This is a lovely painting; the soft pastels used throughout give it a quiet, muted quality. It's very peaceful. What's the title of the piece? I feel like there's a story in that. 9/16/2012 |
| Wonderful painting!Such beautiful colors and shapes. Lovely view, very nice work 9/13/2012 |
|
Martin DriscollSwilcan Bridge, St. Andrews... |
| I really like the contrasts in textures available here. The old, rough stonework cuts through vegetation that lacks the sharpness of manmade objects. The swathe of water curving through nicely mirrors the curvature of the bridge as well, and helps lead the eye to the sharp lines and angles of the ci... 9/14/2012 |
| What makes this painting really work for me as a viewer is the tangible, believable texture of the stones in the foreground. Nice choice compositionally to fill up the foreground with the stone bridge. I also like the hint of haze that gives a time of day reference. 8/29/2012 |
| I suppose this is imaginary town. It is possible that this is just some painted idea, by the bridge that connects two sides of river. Anyway it's very clear painting, bright colors, interesting point of view. 8/26/2012 |
|
Alvydas VenslauskasReturning Birds |
| You make a really good point about the geometrics of this piece! It really is very complex in that sense, especially when one also takes into account the repeated small arcs in the lower corners of the piece. These add another layer of complexity without making the piece overly angular. It really is... 9/14/2012 |
| This painting offers a layered complexity that keeps the viewer's attention, aided by the V-shaped composition and multiple diagonal aspects in the composition. There's also a strong sense of playful geometrics throughout. The two faces add a whimsical and almost surreal effect that is helped by the... 9/10/2012 |
|
Hien Nguyen BuiOil by South East Asia artist ... |
| Broad brushstrokes and lush colors make this a very bold piece despite the peaceful setting. I love the contrasting palettes of the ground and sky -- sunset and dawn. 9/12/2012 |
 | Dear Mr/Mrs Tracy-h Thank for your comments.I hope that you will also look for our another paintings. Best Regards,Lien 9/10/2012 |
| In this painting style, it takes a strong composition and color palette to really evoke the scene with broad brush strokes. This piece works really well in that regard, and in particular the quality of light is nicely evoked. I like that the work animal and human figures are hidden in the shadows so... 9/10/2012 |
|
Oleg TimchenkoNo Room For Error |
| This painting's title, the almost grotesque detail of the feet, and the manic brushwork of the clouds and sky offer a significant twist on the idea of the clown as entertainer. This figure has a grim and fiercely concentrated expression, with the upturned faces of the audience below being almost obl... 9/10/2012 |
|
Rimantas VirbickasWalking In The Park |
| I love this painting! It really captures the feel of a walk in the rain at twilight, when details become an indistinct blur punctuated by haloed streetlamps. The inclusion of two figures under an umbrella lends a humanity to this scene that might otherwise have felt bleak. I wish I could enjoy this... 9/10/2012 |
| The colors took my breath away. I love how vivid the orange halos around the lights are. The bold lighting helps me feel the excitement and happiness the couple on the path might be feeling -- a romantic night out, perhaps. 8/19/2012 |
| I love an atmosphere that is expressed here. Some cold, rainy evening, a couple walking in a park. With a little bit of imagination there are endless possibilities to the stories on this picture. 8/19/2012 |
Danie StrydomThe choices you make |
| This painting would have been very intriguing even without the title, which clarifies the pose of the figure. This is a masterful handling of just enough detail and emphasis on all the right focal points, the shoes in particular. We don't even need to see the woman's face to get a clear idea of what... 9/8/2012 |
| Interesting piece. First impression of chaos and some sort of sadness. But by looking closely - a color mix a bringing different mood to a picture. 9/3/2012 |
| There's a lot of tension in this piece. I really like how you caught the stress and indecision of the subject in the forced angles of the ankles and feet. 8/24/2012 |
Ingrid DohmProfusion |
| It's clear there was a lot of care taken in producing this work, with each flower and leaf delicately represented. I like the choice to make the vase almost disappear into the surface below, as well as the slight angle from above, so that the blooms seem to burst off the canvas. A hint of fallen ber... 9/5/2012 |
| You are too kind. Ingrid 9/4/2012 |
| Lovely painting. Details are so accurate and beautiful, colors are a little too pale, but it still working. I could almost smell them! 9/3/2012 |

Martin DriscollMy inspiration for Painting Ir... |
| Some of the most interesting figure studies feature people who are deeply involved in some type of work, and this one is no exception. It's an engaging image that makes the viewer want to lean down close and see what the man is doing! 9/5/2012 |
 | I love it , nice one . 10/10/2011 |
 | Wonderful, wet and fresh work ... so in touch with the subject. 6/16/2011 |

RICK CHINELLIBodie Wagon bw 7263 |
| There's something really engaging about this photograph. The composition is so effective here, with the house (realistically the largest object) being the smallest and the wooden wagon or trailer (the smallest) being so immensely close to the viewer, and the truck somewhere in between. The light on... 9/5/2012 |
| I love the picture. I think the color choice is making a lot of impact here too, makes its more old-fashioned and classic. 8/26/2012 |
Diane TremblayTime Machine
|
| There's so much happening in this painting in terms of the fantastical story emerging, it's easy to overlook how masterfully it was executed. There's a lovely balance of background pattern and foreground detail, and the winged figures are nicely done. The palette really brings the viewer into this m... 9/5/2012 |
| This looks like fantasy concept art for a surrealistic video game. I love the sequence suggested by the repeated figures. The choices of color are also great -- the blues are rich to the eye and allow for a large amount of detail without being overwhelming. 8/24/2012 |
| That was awesome. At first i ughthot you might have been being a little too hard on this toons guy, but the farther along things got the more things seemed just right. 3/9/2012 |
 | I keep coming back to this image - all your work gives me great inspiration. Angela:-) |
 | Here you are sizing upon the "admirable inventions"... |
MIGUEL CIFUENTESEAGLE IN MEDALLON |
| Thank You Ded, 9/5/2012 |
| The bronzed look of the painting, coupled with the symbols on the edge of the medallion, gives this a very authentic look. It looks like a grave artifact. 9/4/2012 |

| I love how a scatter paint-like style was used to create a coherent subject. The colors and lines suggest a joyful beauty. The color scheme also lends a classic touch to a modern style. 9/4/2012 |
