This is a pain pill review. As a professional traditional artist you are the best. How you turn it into a living is your special secret. There is so much more to what you do than artistic skill. Thinking about all the other issues such as getting a point across to an audience or expression. These are the more important things that make your work so great.

Comment from Renate-Bertodi


I love this. Before I began joining in some of the contests, I wasn't sure what they meant when they gave a colour. Then I learnt it is when three quarters of the painting is that one colour. What ever, I love this green picture, which came over to me as green the second I saw it. Really fantastic work.

I missed your recent artwork Mark as I have a problem with my iPad and the Wi-Fi signal here in My placer specially now on the covid Crisis that we face today.

Well this is a very creative composition with the verdant overtone.
I like the very meticulous fine features and textures as you rendered and clear and crisp detailstt

I love your consistency in color given your medium.
I haven't had a good track record with marker or pen.
I love the theme and your characters. The chubby frog is cracking me up!
I enjoy it :-D

    Oh right on! I went to The Art Institute for 4 years. Artistry is strong on my dad's side of the family. Both my dad and I are left handed. My great grandma Maude was a landscape painter. I gotta tell ya though, in all the years I attended Art School and a magnet high school, I have never produced as much traditional art as I did last year. My majors were Computer Animation and Special Effects and Motion Graphics.
    I became enthralled with the editing world and the Special Effects. I didn't know I was a good painter till last year lol

Comment from shoregrass


This is fantastic, my friend! Immediately appealing. A nice homage to wonderland, but totally original with your own superbly conceived and rendered characters with a wonderful bayou flavor. Fits the contest perfectly and I hope the voters feel the same way. Top notch!!!

Comment from JirinaInspire


Joyful and uplifting image of a tea party that is going very well. Great detail, vivid colors and composition work were well for this painting. The central focus on the frog is great.

These are new characters to me and I like the way they are not social distancing. A very nicely composed drawing with interesting characters and great colors.

Hey Flood!
I like your cartoons, I think they are great pieces of art :) You definitely showcase the color green in this scene and it is fun! Your art is a unique feature of this site, no one produces it like you! I appreciate your share and candid description! Good luck I hope they bring it back!
