Jill, it’s just so amazing the quality and variety of work out there. I’m amazed every month at the pieces I have ‘collected’. It’s always difficult to make the final decision of 10!

Thanks Julie for filling us a bit more about your Kelp series. Truly a magnificent piece! You have a lot of patience.
Glad you enjoy the critiques. And thank you for the compliment regarding my site – I’m in the middle of working out a rehaul! And surprised and happy at your comment about marketing myself – I feel there’s soooooo much more I could do!! 🙂

Thank you so much Gail for once more bringing some beautiful art to my eyes. I have seen some of these but there are others which I am so glad I did not miss seeing! I love your descriptions of the works and the feelings they invoke in you. Makes the whole experience of seeing them even better!

I have loved doing the kelp series, the colour, contrasts,movement, and reflections really inspired me, and as you say its not something you would normally think of painting. There is so much around us if we look for it.
I so enjoy reading your critiques and look forward to them. Also would like to congratulate you on your site and the way you market your self, awesome job.

Thanks Gailen. Strangely, I had not come across Abel Marquez’s work before I discovered this amazing portrait. It’s always a thrill to discover a new-to-me artist with such skill.
