What a fun subject.....and challenging too! I really admire your skill with reflections and transparency. Thankyou for your comment on my work. I value your opinion.
This is absolutely superb! I've been attempting marbles for some time! They're not as good as yours!
Artist Reply: thanks Cathy, you should see my Coloured pencil ones then, they were even better! :)
Seriously I thought a lot about lost and found edges here, I used my fingers as much as a brush, and transparent colours only....all that helped. plus I ADORE doing glass and reflections. and shadows....
I still love YOUR work too!
My, oh, my...these marbles are gorgeous, Gill!!! Stunning work!!! The colors and design are excellent! Takes me back...LOL
Artist Reply: thanks Ruth, it's cool how they remind everyone of childhood, gives nice feelings to everyone, which is cool. thanks for the compliments and feedback :)
I love marbles! If I had the money (sorry, I don't) I'd have a collection of marble paintings!!
Artist Reply: yeah you do, :) how about making some your self? they are great fun and a good challenge, you could make it a winter project, when there's a little morre time spare inside... let me know if you do do some...(This one's sold anyway, it even made it's way into the local paper..)
wonderful! This is good art for hospitals with chidren.
makes happy so a healing force in it!
Artist Reply: this was pictured in the paper with a little girl pointing to it, so you are right :) it's sold
