Very effective flower tribute to the terrible disaster that occurred in Florida at the school. I like the simplicity of this which makes it all the more dramatic. Excellent detail as always with your wonderful cartoons with the expressions on the flower faces and their shadows on the background fence. I like that the background is uncluttered. Great composition. Suzanne

Mark,
A beautiful picture of the Daisy with a look of horror on her face as she hears the sad news from the weeping Lavender blue Orchid of the unspeakable horror of the senseless Florida School Shooting that left so many dead & injured physically & mentally for life. Created with very skilful draftsmanship beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life.

This is such an artistic tribute to the tragic event and the way most of us felt when we heard the news. The artistry is great, the expressions of the flowers is great, the entire work is done so well being simple yet delivering an important message.

Comment from El-mundo


A great piece from the ongoing Flower Power saga, depicting yet another moment of drama for a pair of the flower crew - this time with a very real and close to home no doubt reaction and reason behind it. A quite dark but blunt reminder of the things that happen in the modern day tragically, well expressed.

Ya. What a tragic event. Hell it turns our civilian live is more dangerous than being in a war zone. Or maybe the U.S. is turning into a war zone. I wonder where it will all end. I am not sure it will end well. Who knows? Great work Mark ~ Steve

The artwork is very nice in the Flower Power series. This one looks like too sad of a story! Your details, colors and shadows are all applied perfectly.

loving the expression and the wonderful story. the pictures can indeed paint many, 100's of words. the feeling and vibe. yes such a tragic news and one that makes you want to disolve into the carpet. in this case a flower-bed.

Such a sad story, and I think this drawing shows your compassion towards that tragedy. Thanks for the explanation of the drawing. I think this is a good way to show that you are thinking of those victims as we all are. Thanks for sharing :)

I'm glad you didn't have a very detailed background allowing all of the interest to focus on the main characters. Their horror and sadness can certainly be seen in their expressions. Kinda want to see tears from both but maybe thats to much. Good use of lighting in this too. Great to have you back.

Hi Mark thanks for sharing your sad News creation based around the Florida school shooting. A horrifying and tragic story that has left many heartbroken. Your orchid presentation is a nice representation of showing sad emotion. The tears of the orchid and the sad face of the daisy works well to convey the message.. I also can appreciate the leaves on both plants. the orchid is expressing heartbreak with hands up to face while the daisy is offering sympathy and love.. the colours are soft and a nice choice for this sad time. thanks for sharing and your notes about the story by Rasmine on fanstory. well wishes for all those folk affected by the tragedy. cheers mel
