Congratulations Brenda!
Excellent work on this piece.
9 hours! Wow!
I like the colors and the sense of movement of the water.
Beautifully done Brenda :)

    The 6 is a day maker... Thank you Sandra for reviewing. It was relaxing to do and quite addictive.
Comment from Lucien van Oosten


A really nice job on this piece of artwork on mimicking the aboriginal style and technique of their art form.
Good use of colors and variation of the size and shape of the dots throughout the composition.
I also like the color pallet and flow of the lines of the dots, that created a great feeling of motion within the composition.

This looks like an excellent entry for the contest - I too don't know much about this form of art although I have visited Australia several times and seen examples of the art. Love the colours you used and thank you for explaining how you did it. Very intricate design. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Is it cool to start doing something that we are not familiar with and we find we love it. Love the colours you chose to do this. Very nice work here.

Such beautiful work I love the way you did the water. The fish came out so beautiful I bet you did have a great time doing this it's kind like pointillism I guess I should try this one day for fun. You've done an excellent job I really love how this came out good luck in the contest. Thank you so much for sharing

    Thank you. You remarks were interesting regarding pointillism and I agree it is something dimilat. This was done with pens but I had an idea to try oil dots on canvas and then you mentioned pointillism so I looked it up. I will try it I think. :)

    You should definitely try it?s gonna be awesome
Comment from Way West


This is a well created artwork that looks like it is made from mosaic tiles instead of gel pen dots! I say well done with nice colors and great under-sea ambiance!
