Comment from MinoYasue


I have fascination with fireflies. English name is boring but Japanese name is romantic. It also have a spiritual meaning in Japan. Anyway, the fireflies is one of strong child food memories of mine.
I wonder I Japan, fireflies are very yellow and when they flies in the darkness, they are very bright like a stars. Do you have different type of fireflies?
Anyway, it is so rare to see pure landscape from you, but as I said, there is nothing you cannot handle. Even in the landscape, your work is so creative and filled with imagination and fantasy.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Yes, I understand why she gets comments about it. A very feminine piece full of softness and pops of fireflies.

This feels like an arboretum that I have visited in Thailand. Soft blues, indigo and shades of green. Like the details in the water cascading down and how the fireflies peep through the grasses. Interesting the hue of the water in the foreground ...dark, but yet our eyes don't even care because of the pops of fireflies.

This image has a happy tone and I bet when your daughter is stressed at work she just looks at this art and is transported away, not only by an image that ignites dreams but reminds her of a father's love for his daughter.

This is really cool. especially the fireflies and the greenery. love the fireflies on the water the best. Water is hard to do. for sure. I have one I tried to do and it was very difficult in markers.

Cool Waterfall. I know your daughter loved this. This isn't a Sharpie drawing is it? I believe this is the first piece I have seen of yours that wasn't.

    It doesn't look like Sharpie drawing. Your like a musician who's first album doesn't sell. Than after you get some fame you rerelease it and it sells more. What does roflmao mean?

Comment from ozzyart


Very interesting! We don't have fire flies in Australia and so I've never seen them, but they must be beautiful to see? This is a good composition, I like the variations in the sizes of the glow from fire flies and the different streams of water in the waterfall. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Thanks for the link to your other fireflies artwork. I like it! I can see they are glowing in the jars, is it enough to work as a torch and do the bite, or sting you?

Comment from tinlight


Yes, very cool. I like how you have created the fire flies as repeated fuzzy light sources, illuminating the flowing water. It reminds me a bit of the final scene in Fantasia, when all the pious folk come out carrying candles. The color scheme of greys, blues and greens works well, and I can see this brightening up a tastefully decorated office.
