Comment from Glena Jessee-King


The dot work in this work is really nice; their rows and colors are really cute. The salamander is adorable. Fine acrylic painting in this style. The blues on the left and the burgundies are nice also. It appears it may have taken a while to do this work in detail and pattern consistency. Best wishes.

A very fine painting. Both the subject matter and the dot technique are typically aboriginal. A beautiful composition with great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from FBI GUY


Having been to New Zealand and Australia, I have visited an Aboriginal Cultural Center. I would say that you have nailed the style of artwork I saw at the Cultural Center. I would go back tomorrow. The colors and the diagonal application of the color and pattern is very creative. The salamander's form and function of crawling is so well done. The series of dots and color is so representative of the Aboriginal culture.

    Carina,
    sorry for the delay , thank you for your time and writing the review.
    I am very pleased you like this piece and your continued support of my work.
    Just an added note:
    In doing this piece, I was trying to create in the aboriginal style of art, a painting that tells a story. Using mostly dots of color to do define various shapes, textures and a few line to do that.
    Have great day.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


A lovely composition.Your artworks with symbolic meanings about unusual subject matter is impressive. The effect created in vivid colours induces extra sensory world of expression. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Ray Gordon


There is a lot in this piece that offers key points of symbolic communication. The main character is the salamander indicated by yellow, The green trees and the pond and stream in blue.The salamanders on both sides of the road those who made it and those who have to try. This is how man impinges a habitat. Very nicely done, a fine communication. Ray
