I really like the one with the big topaz jewel. the colors are great in all of these.
thanks Tina!
I’m really really digging these — Love Land’s End and Catching Rays. I think there could really be a market for these, even in this poopie economy!
yes, i agree with the previous post – these are fun delights. gotta be a market for a hot little pick-me-up piece of art!
I just took a peek at your newer works. you’ve been working hard. good design. all very eye-catching. I think “Coming Out” is my favorite so far. I love how surreal it is.
The colours POP right out at you. “Action” figures is accurate, they seem to move towards the viewer. You’re gifted and talented, I feel lucky to be invited into your world.
Ah Barb, you’re a GEM!
Michael, these are great! and I sense there was a joy in creating!
