Piece: Soul Center

I love the story behind this piece. I love the idea of history being encapsulated in the work. The colors are so vivid and I like the way the paint reacts to the rough surface. How tragic that they just renovated the church before the catastrophe. Did the church survive? Bravo on your blog entries. Such emotion can only make better art and it certainly has translated into some beautiful works for you.

Namaste,

Abby

I hope your show went well. I like the new pic. Keep up the great work. So impressive.

Namaste,

Wonderfully brilliant piece of work. The light and color is so vivid and the depth is intriguing. Bravo.

I really like the ideas you set forth on your website: primitive surrealism. I am a surrealist fan... of course Dali, but I am an abstract expressionist by trade, so I love the combination of the surrealism with the idea of primitive... i.e. coming from the deepest recesses of the mind. Am I wrong? Beautiful work: Planet Z. I love the energy and color of your works. Bravo.

Piece: Untitled

Beautiful color, wonderfully balanced shape and line. I love the energy and the drip. Fabulous work of expressionism. Bravo.

Very nicely done detail. Beautiful face and eyes. I love the halo of detail around her head. Is this on piece of blue stained glass? I detect the ripple of stained glass and the luminosity of the background really look like it is glowing from behind. If it is not glass bravo on texture and use of the paint. Bravo anyway. I love the idea of it being blue glass in one color as opposed to the over dramatics of most modern stained glass works.

Namaste,

Painting with oil can be very time consuming, but I find that the lustre of the oils is a benefit worth taking the time. I personally like to paint in my studio in the woods. I detest large cities or even large groups of people. I prefer to work in solitude with nature all around me. I suppose each artist is inspired by different environments. As long as the work is honest, it will always be a reflection of human nature in all its many facets so the more diverse the artists are, the greater chance humankind has of understanding nature and human nature through art... and what a fun endeavor. Bravo on your works and keep being honest as your works so profoundly are.

Namaste,

Abby

Very nice work. I like how you work in various styles and mediums. Way to flex the artistic muscles. "Sideshow": very Dali meets impressionism. Fabulous combination. Thanks for your kind comments on my work. It's always nice to hear from other talented artists.

Namaste,

Abby

I love your work. I especially appreciate your artist statement on your website. Bravo on "Tree Sale Under Bridge", such energy and great balance.

Piece: Behind the Scenes

Bravo on texture, color, balance, and energy. Wonderful use of the mediums. This piece seems so real to me, like I want to reach out and touch it the texture is so pleasing. Love the holes as a way of creating negative space, but at the same time incorporating it into the piece. Do you do all the welding yourself. So edgy, Bravo.

I really like this piece. "Hjem" I love the collage work. Do you use acrylic or oils for the backgrounds etc. Wonderful balance to this piece. Very pleasing to look at. Bravo

Very visually stimulating. What is your medium? I particularly like Angel. Very nice piece. Excellent color balance and your shape and line are so fluid. It's quite beautiful. Bravo.

Very Salvador Dali meets abstract expressionism. I like it very much.

Fabulous color and energy. Love the composition... reminds me of cubism in a way. Thanks for the comments on Sugar Pill. In answer to your question, the surface of my works are very textured. I sometimes, as with Sugar Pill, use the tube of paint to draw lines. I use splatter and the mirror adds a lot of depth to the piece. Thanks again. I love this piece. I'm currently working with a lot of yellow and orange and red, but you have really mixed these colors well. Bravo.

This is definitely my favorite piece you have on display. It has such energy. Very whimsical and I love the black background, it really makes the foreground pop out. What is your primary medium? Oil Pastels perhaps. Wonderful use of color that balances beautifully. Bravo.

Talk about mad skills. Very impressive. I particularly like the darker background. You balance colors and line very well. Keep me posted on your new works. I will follow your career with much interest.

Thanks so much for commenting on my page. I really appreciate it. Most people seem to be just tourists and they view, but don't leave comments. I really like constructive criticism it only helps us grow as artists. By gallery wrapped I mean that each piece is 2 inches deep with canvas wrapped around the edge which is ideal for hanging in a gallery or for any display where you don't want a traditional frame. I paint around the two inches and the sides are part of the painting so that in walking around the canvas one can see the image continue. It adds a sense of depth when viewing the original piece. Maybe there is another term I'm not familiar with, if you could let me know that would be great.
Well, if you do not intend to represent depth in your abstract figures, you certainly accomplished it. I find your works full of depth, and that is each individual piece before you incorporate the box idea... So well done. I also like your use of vivid color coupled with restraint of white.

Very impressive, imaginative, 3-dimentional painting. Wow. What is your primary medium? What movement would you say best describes your paintings? Is it abstract? I love it. Please take a look at my pieces and tell me what YOU think. I would love some feedback.

Gorgeous work of art. I love the way my eye travel around the piece. Excellent sense of balance and color. Shape and line work wonderfully. Picasso of the new age. I will study your art with great enthusiasm. Overall I am extremely impressed and can't wait to see more. What medium do you use? Is this computer art? Is this painting? Tell me more?

Wonderful use of the medium. Nice originality of idea, but pay more attention to content balance. The paintings seem to be focus heavy in one particular area. The eye has trouble traveling around and into the painting. Love the titles of your works. Overall, I really admire your control of the oil medium.

Wonderful use of shadow to create a sense of depth in this piece. Nice use of the oil medium to create a silky sense of flow as well. I think that you are portraying a real scene, but your choice of topics is very surrealist. I like it. I like the confusion of realism and surrealism, the idea is inspiring and makes me look again and again.

I like the integration of a surrealist/realist background with the Pollock inspired foreground. Be careful that the foreground doesn't just stay in the front and that it is integrated into the whole of the piece. The splatter in the left bottom section seems to be stuck on top, whereas the upper portion is beautifully integrated and erupts out of the background. Overall a beautiful inventive piece of art. I shall study your works with great enthusiasm.

Fascinating title for this image. I like the texture and the color variations. Be careful that your texture doesn't get in the way of the image. The top of the painting works marvelously, but the bottom texture seems to fail the overall painting. Watch out that the corners of your painting participate in the overall piece as well, once again the top works well, but the bottom falls short again. Overall, very creative and inspiring.
