Comment from Melyuki
wow.. What an absolutely delightful way to introduce this young amazingly talented artist.. You have certainly created a fabulous collection of images in this artwork which do her proud.. Especially her portrait. Love the splash of red background to offset each of the images.. and contrast brilliantly with her hair colouring. I commend you for being so kind and introducing her to this world within here. I have had the pleasure of reviewing several of her paintings and totally agree. She has so much talent.. and her work is unique in every way.. Thanks for sharing.. I'm sorry I have no 6's to offer.
cheers mel

Oh don't worry about the 6's. These are unofficial tributes to help my fellow FAR members. This old dog has achieved many things and understand what a struggling goes thru to just to get recognized. You know over the decades sharpie and Bic weren't accepted in the art world. I would hear things like "hey nice drawing. So when are you gonna do some real artwork like painting,etc." After all the years it wasn't till a decade ago till my medium was finally getting acknowledge. You know I have been working with these pens for a half century now. Makes a fella feel old. However Im young at heart. Wink. You will be seeing at least 1 tribute a month no matter what medium that member uses. Did you get a chance to check out any of my videos on YouTube? Thanks for the great review

Comment from Dick Lee Shia

So sweet of you. I remember reviewing each of those works you have put into this image. I joined in late 2017. Nice composition and framing. A nice tribute you are doing for these kids. I think you are a nice guy! Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

Comment from Life is but a dream.
FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC.

MK - I salute you for doing this and let me tell you that this young artist has caught my attention.

Her work is oftentimes over the top, what an imagination she shows. I can remember viewing her portfolio and was caught by her "nosebleed" work and I thought this artist is brave, she hears the beat of a different drummer.

Melanie, you will grow far with your work. Don't ever stop painting. This Recognition coming from a sharpie artist who is top of the shelf is a high compliment to you.

I am standing and clapping to you Mark and to you Melanie.

............and Mark, you get 6 stars from me, but hell, you deserve so much more.

You are welcome. I love it. My mom posted it on facebook for everyone to see. Would you mind if I printed it out and place it in one of my books to keep because my mom wants to show everyone?
