Bench - 6 Top Artists Directory, Artist of the week!

Today I managed to buckle down to some serious colourising...lots of yellow ochre and green...red and blue. I must admit, the picture up until now was looking fairly bleak, but I've begun to achieve the effect the late autumn sun has when streaming through the remnants of yellowed leaves and wet ground.



One rather pleasantly surprising bit of news was broke to me today by Kim who runs The Top Artists Directory. I am their featured artist of the week. So if you fancy checking out my work there, you'll also be able to access the works of many other talented and gifted artists from around the world....and if you're visiting here for the first time via Kim's site, then welcome, please take time to look around and I'll try to answer any questions you may have. Also please take time to look at my selection 'Finished Pictures' from the past couple of years.

Judith...Welcome!I can recomment firstly ..me!..I don't know of anyone else who uses this tecnique exclusively. The blog of Ascenderarisesabove (see blog link section) features some black and white examples, and i'm aware of an English artist who has a web address showing various 'Poinitllist' drawings...he has never responded to my emails and does not update his site.To learn more about the technique involving paint..look up the work of Geaoges Seurat!

Pink dogwood...there is more of a sense of light and air in this one...thank you!

Sue..It's always an honour when I find my work complimented in such a way!

Kim...Thank you for featuring my work!!

DM...This technique is well suited to the depiction of light!I'm glad you like it!

Meira...Welcome!..thank you for the greeting.

XH...Welcome to you too!

Prats...Hello again, lovely to hear from you..I often notice your comments on Preeti's blog..I must visit your blog again too...!

Suresh...I believe art should affect the viewer..if it makes you relaxed and peaceful, what better result could I ask for?...Welcome and thank you for visiting!

Varun..Preeti has been responsible for quite a few people discovering my work..she is a diamond! I hope you are able to return again soon to these pages!

PS... :-)
