Wet Crowd

Thank you Lionel for sharing your good news on many fronts. It's good to know that things can work out well. In addition to all this, this painting is really good on my opinion. I like the muted colours and the atmosphere the paint effect gives. It's quite eerie which is not a bad thing.

Lionel...I&#39;m so happy for you!! Congratulations on all your news and thank you for sharing it with us, I hope this sees a turning point in your life and your health and happiness goes from strength to strength. I have never felt particularly singled out for your criticism Lionel, that&#39;s the reason I post on the site......for criticism, so please don&#39;t worry about that. <br />So after your trip to Spain, I imagine you will be coming over the border for a visit to Edinburgh?! <br />And as for your painting; I think it&#39;s a smasher! A super semi abstract, excellent figures (I&#39;m jealous) love the red, really catches the eye. The horizontal flashes of white balance up the verticals........lovely. And I hope that your paints will NOT be going back in the garage........my very warmest wishes to yourself and Mary.....how&#39;s the back? XX

What is special about this website is that although most of us don&#39;t know each other personally we establish friendship and respect for each other. Lovely to hear your good news and also to see this really well executed painting.

Thank you Gudrun, Fiona and Christine for your very kind comments. I agree, Gudrun, it does look a bit eerie! Perhaps that is why I described it as I did above - a collection of individuals - no contact between them - post-apocalyptic?! Fiona; thank you so much for your remarks and best wishes. Mary&#39;s back is better, we are pleased to say. Glad you like the picture. I&#39;ll try to prepare a better composition next time instead of just diving in with the knife. And Christine, you are so right - mutual respect brought about through our artwork and exchange of comments; great isn&#39;t it? Thank you so much for your comments which are appreciated.

Hello Lionel - good to see you on the gallery - it&#39;s been a while, hasn&#39;t it? Also very glad to hear all the positive things that are happening in your life - may that trend continue for you. What happens in your personal life has a direct effect on producing art (I know from experience!) so I feel it is good to know what an artist is experiencing as it helps the viewer to see shades of the emotions in the art they are looking at. Looking at this painting, I feel it is significant that the dominant colour is a sunny yellow with slashes of light pouring down on the people. The people look purposeful as if they know where they are going - as it sound that you do, too. Having heard your resume of your recent life, I can see that this painting has a very positive feel to it. On a technical front, I think the painting is very well composed, has impact and tells a story (where are the people going?). I like your use of colour and the suggestion of buildings. Great stuff!

Thank you so much, Thea, for your in-depth analysis which I found to be not only accurate but fascinating. I also found it to be revealing, telling me things about myself that I perhaps had not acknowledged. Thank you again!

Lionel I am so very pleased for you, everything falling into place! Well done. Like Christine says, we get to know each other and are genuinely pleased for any good news shared between us. I like this positive looking painting it radiates confidence, colours perfect. X
