Mark,
A beautiful drawing of a Frog beside a Pink Water Lily sitting on a Water Lily pad. Created in your Artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmanship shading. Beautiful choice of colours in bringing this scene to life on your canvas.

This is a great piece of art! I'm truly impressed with how much you can do with just sharpies and bic! I especially love how detailed and accurate you made the lighting and shadows as well as the reflection of the sun kissing the horizon on the water. The colors and pointillist style are amazing!

Well to be fair I have been working with these pens since 1970. Over 50 of practice..wink. thanks for the awesome review

Comment from ABG Photography
Mark, I love this. It is so colorful and whimsical and so well drawn. And all the detail that you have included really makes for a wonderful presentation over all. Your technique at displaying foreshortening to give the piece depth of field is spot on.

I think this is one of my favorites. I love your waterlily creation. And I love how you position the frog so that it really blends into the scene. This is actually stunning. Your use of lights and shadows really highlights your subject and such a pleasingly. Thank you for sharing.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and full composition gives us a good look at that lovely frog waiting for me to drop by and caress it. Like the leaves. Well drawn and good luck!

Me too! Ha! haa! No luck in years! :) The artwork has an intentional complexity that feels both chaotic and harmonious. It reflects the dynamic relationship between an artist's precision and art's fluidity. Love it. Bravo! Here's my six for you. Cheers!.

Hi Mark, though I love the song Spiders and Snakes another good song for this would have been, Frog Kissin' by Chet Atkins and Ray Steven's. Love your frog sittin' by the lilypad waiting for a kiss. I love the setting! The lily next to the frog is a really nice touch. A fun and cool image for the nature contest! Good Luck!
