This is lovely Mark and as usual represents so much work! I like the flying cherry blossom petals. Nice design overall and wonderful technique. My admiration!

Perfectcrepresentation. My granddaughter too loves Japanese or Chinese art and a painting has been requested for Christmas. Here you have captured a traditional scene in your own style using your specialustic skills with pens. It's absolutely beautiful, good balance, presentation and subject are beautifully represented then of course that tree against the mountain backdrop. Perfect.

    Brenda I don't know if you seen all of my videos.?. If you get the time check out few of mine titled "Don't Stop Believing"..or ."Rocking with sharpie/Bic".."when love runs out" ...when.you view any of these videos notice the difference in styles and illusions that I can bring out if these lil ole pens. Some years back I hosted the "sharpie and Bic pens art contest here in FAR one of the contestants (which for the life of me I can't remember her name) but she fell in love with the Bic pens. She created this sweet cartoon series "Susan's world". I knew she earned a diamond seal for it. I tell you this because you have talent. Ya never know might like either sharpie or Bic..or both .lol..I do thank you for your awesome review. (Bowing)

    Arthur do you ever look anything up on YouTube? If so search my name on there..then you will discover I'm not just a creative cartoonist but I'm versatile illustrator as well..I'm glad you like this but this style is nothing new for me over the decades.. sadly it took the cartoons for the folks to notice my work..years before my illustrations like this folks had a hard time accepting it was a done with my lil ole sharpie and Bic pens. Check me out..you might get surprised..wink. thanks for the awesome review.

This is beautiful! The cherry tree is lovely and I love how the petals are blowing in the wind. The bright red of the clothing and umbrella add wonderful color. The background is lovely too. Very well done!

Comment from FBI GUY


Well Mark, I didn't realize the was on of your pieces of art. I was thinks photography. Crip, sharp and realism is ozzing out of the artwork. Color is outstanding and the blues are beautiful. Nice job.

Comment from Brenda Curley


I like this composition.
The use of a few colors with the light and shadows is very good.
It's a beautiful picture to look at as she seems to contemplate life.
