    Hi Laurie, thanks for the comment. Had a look at your portfolio.The photos are excellent, and so are the calendars.

    i am so excited for you !!! i love this painting, your work is fantastic and beautiful !!

  • Joseph Barbara replied

    Thank you so much, Karon, for telling me, I did not even realise. I was out putting up a large commissioned abstract painting ( 1m X 1.5M ) and just returned. That’s quite a nice surprise especially I also found out that another painting came first in the Everything Maltese challenge at the same time.
    I painted and exhibted South America in 1986 and it was sold from the exhibition to be given as a present to a Columbian couple.

  • Stzar

    did u paint this with ink from a printer?

  • Joseph Barbara replied

    I used transparent ink used by printers in jars and the black is Indian ink. As you can notice from the background the colours merge into each other. This was painted back in 1986.
