Hmmm!!!
Thank you, dear Frizz!
🙂
This is so beautiful and the black is eye catching. Thanks Marina.
Cheers 🙂
Thank you, Dilip. This is very nice to hear!
Have a beautiful Monday and week!
🙂
I saw painters working only for surfers, creating surfboard designs!
…bet they love surfing too!!!
🙂
every detail could become a new painting –
for example featuring a lonesome surfer on black ocean waves …
Ah, that sounds nice, Frizz!!!
Hmmm…
🙂
but what a pity, you are creating abstract things, not cartoons for T shirts …
🙂
🙂
Very cool, Marina! The first thing that came to me was an image of a distinguished, yet weathered face of a man, with brows furrowed. Very creative!
That’s exactly it! 🙂
Thank you, my dear Fergiemoto!!
🙂
That has such a nice flow to it. It almost looks like calligraphy.
Ah, Bongo, thank you so much! I was never any good in calligraphy [I do not acquire the patience needed!] but like it so much, your words make me very happy!
🙂
Love the free form abstract. There is much movement in the piece and it puts one in thought.
Ah, thank you, Donna… I’m very glad to hear that!!!!
🙂
I really like the detail shots but then i do like that when I do that with mine. we could do huge Franz Kline paintings
Hmmm, I do see what you mean!!!
🙂
Hey, look at you !! Cool I like 🙂
😆
Thank you, Carla!!! 🙂
Beautiful! As always. Love the intensity and power! Lots of love from me
Thank you so much, my dear Anne. I am glad you see that … it was a very intense moment for me [as all my characters were!]
Lots of love from me too!
🙂 xxxxxx
Yours is an incredible talent, Marina.
Thank you for shairing it with the world.
You are too kind!!!! Your words make me very happy!
Thank you!
🙂
I love this character! Very lively! And I love black with gold. Beautiful, Marina! ~xoxoxo!!! 🙂 (as you know, I made more Polyvore boards here: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/collection?id=2307053)
I know I know, and they look gorgeous too!!!! Beautiful work and -if I might add- very difficult too, yet you make it seem so …naturally right! [I wonder if that makes sense!]
Thank you for this AND for your kind words on my character!
Have a great Wednesday, my dear!!!
🙂
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another sort of painting. I don’t know about Groucho Marx (he’s my favorite of favorites) but the forms are very pleasing.
Well, I can tell you, Groucho was not on my mind when I did this, but I can see how someone can!
Glad you like it, Stephen!!
🙂
I love the the motion and flow of this piece.
Very happy to hear that from you, Benjamin. Thank you!
🙂
So beautiful Marina! Love that Golden color which is perfect for this style❤❤❤❤

Thank you, dear Violet!

Thank you, Sriram [I thought you might appreciate simplicity! – enjoyed your last post!!]
🙂
yes you are right !
Oh my, this is quite stunning!
I’m glad you like it, Aaron. It is actually one of my favorite “characters”!
🙂
Beautiful!!! Paintings too…
Thank you!
i see this one as a abstract of Groucho Marx on a bicycle. delightful
