Ray is confused as I am while reviewing for points! :):) I have company! I face the same dilemma and I can't devote much time to reviewing. I find this very expressive. Dynamic brushwork!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


This is again a 6-star content, as this time you have created a special person with such a wonderful face that the entire content is fantastic. I am speechless, lol, as your creative traditional art has so many sections with such applicated details and a great simple color choice that your content is in perfect harmony again and I am happy that this time the person is visible with his entire body sitting in the natural section - a wow presentation with a great result, congratulations again, xoxo

Ok I can see the enlargement of the avatar. Cool idea.the facial is excellent. The depth is great. The details is great. The shading is great. The blend of the colors is excellent. The presentation is balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall.

A very good looking image posted here! Seems like you are admiring one of your beautiful, abstract landscape paintings. Colours textures and tones are good. Nicely painted!

Hi Ray, I like it! I can either see you on an Autumn day outside and checking out the artistry here...or... with the surroundings picture how busy we have to keep ourselves to promote our work. We kind of get lost in it sometimes. Love the scholarly look of this. This definitely caught my attention! :o) Nancy

Comment from Sean T Phelan


Cool,Ray!
I'm told that certain FAR members just sink real money into FAR so they can quickly buy 'points' to promote their postings but... what do I know? I'm a cranky old disabled guy with a lot of 'dark' ideas!
: D
I'm diggin' your 'selfie' painting a lot,Man!

    Thank you Sean, I review to post. I am glad you enjoyed my selfie. Feisty is a good word, you could borrow it if you want. : )
reply by Sean T Phelan on 20-Apr-2022
    I do the same thing,Ray!
    I realize that some FAR members are 'well off' financially and think nothing of spending hundreds of dollars
    ( REAL dollars! ) to promote everything ( vacation snapshots,cartoons,etc. ) that they post here but I simply can't afford to do that! : D
reply by the author on 20-Apr-2022
    I can't afford it either. I do the best I can and continue to play in the sand box. Ray
