I love the story behind the art, it is very interesting. The art itself is very pleasing to view, love the colors and the patterns. Thank you for sharing and as always great work!

    Phyllis, thank you for your wonderful review. I rarely include a narrative but I thought it was needed. I am glad you like it. Ray

Wonderful, I really like the "hidden" characters in this story. The seal stranded on an iceberg and the masked warrior ready to swoop in to save the seal. Maybe he is being threatened by a shark. The story is with the viewer.

    Hi Ray, this time I did not review your story. Yes it does make a difference on the iterpretation of your painting. It adds an emotional touch that I would not have picked up on the image only. Interesting point,

    I am glad you got to read the story, I rarely write a description, but this one needed one and it does change the meaning. Thank you for letting me know, it helps me a lot. Ray

    Yeah, I usually look at your work for a while and then come up with my interpretation of it. You style makes that possible. My style leaves no room for interpretation! lol
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


A beautiful story that goes along with this amazing visual. It's nice to see human beings helping animals rather than hurting them. We need more people like that in this world. You have captured the essence of humanity. Thank you for that Ray. We need more sixes!! this deserves it.

I had to look hard to find the seal in this one Ray but i did vaguely see it,that aside i enjoyed the story and here in the uk in various places we have grey seals and they get caught up in nets etc some die because of thoughtless people,many are saved though this reminded me of them...Brian

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


What a powerful and tender narrative you've woven into your art. The connection between Evelyn and the seal feels spiritual â€" a quiet, wordless bond that transcends species. Your use of earthy tones on black paper beautifully echoes the depth, warmth, and mystery of this tale. It's not just a painting, it's a memory preserved in colour and heart. Thank you for reminding us that true kindness is never forgotten â€" not even in the wide, wild sea.

    Sesha Thank you so much for your fabulous review, rating and complimentary thoughts. It is so nice to know you enjoy the painting and the corresponding tale. The painting came first and then the story to honor the volunteer rescuers came together. Ray

I think I am dazzled more by the story then the painting, lol,,,but I do love the colours here, I can see a human looks like a king of some sort over the seas edge.
