This is a very unique painting. I like the story that you attached to it also. It gives your painting more depth knowing it's background. Very pleasing painting.

    Briners,
    hello and thank you for your review on my painting. It was inspired by aboriginal dot art, which to me has some of the same characteristic as pointillism, which is a technique that I just love to use to create my art. And how it tells a story,

    Also thank you for the 6 star rating, I am honored you like this painting enough to award it that rating.
    Cheers, have a great day.

really this is awesome on many levels..what medium are you using? love the perfectly placed blend in your pointillism. can't be pen, is it acrylic? the body form and language is excellent. your blend of colors does give that aboriginal feel and is awesome. the depth is excellent. the details is excellent. the shading is excellent. the presentation is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. so very creative approach and awesome work overall PenMaster!(clapping)

    The piece was created using acrylic paint on the background browns and acrylic paint pens to create all the details.

This is a great piece of art depicted in the style off the Australian Aboriginals. Their art form is easily recognized and truly original. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Lucien, This piece of aboriginal dot art in my eyes resembles a quilt. Love the colors you used and the "S" shape of the salamander. If I came across salamanders the way you and your brother did I'd do the same thing! Love the look of this! Congratulations on your win! :o) Nancy

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


The dot work in this work is really nice; their rows and colors are really cute. The salamander is adorable. Fine acrylic painting in this style. The blues on the left and the burgundies are nice also. It appears it may have taken a while to do this work in detail and pattern consistency. Best wishes.
