Thank you Teresa. :)

Thank you David. Yeah there’s a big building there now but I have to say it’s an attractive one. Like your cartoons. Very comical.

Thank you Liv. :)

Thank you Albert. This was from many years ago. I would like to get back to painting again. I have the urge.

Thank you Jim. Well to be honest I have had the urge to paint again after an absence from it for many years. And I have to say I enjoyed painting in the pointillist style. Hope I take it up soon again.

Thank you Sally. It’s always nice when someone appreciates your work. And thanks for visiting. :)

Thank you Linda. :~)

Thank you so much! I am very honoured that you would consider my painting good enough to be featured. :)

Thank you. A ceramic look to it..hhmmm interesting … :~)

Thank you Heide. :~)

Thank you and thanks to all the hosts of First Things for featuring my work. :~)

Thank you very much for the nice comment. :~)

Thank you for your kind comments John. :~)

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Lynda. Pleased you like it….especially a brilliant artist like yourself.

So nice of you to say so. Well they have been very happy with it indeed. My Dad is waiting for me to do another painting so he can show it to his retired neighbour who has started oil painting himself. He’ll have a bit of a wait though. I haven’t painted for years but have just started a painting recently but it won’t be finished for many weeks. (not pointillist this time)
Wouldn’t I just love to know how many dots are in that above…

Thank you Michael and thanks for visiting. :)

Thank you very much David. And thanks for the feature. :)

Thank you very much Tracy. Trust you enjoyed your time at college in Galway. :)

Thank you Tina. Me too…for the Leaving Certificate. Actually when I was a very young kid I used to make pictures with lots of multi-coloured dots using those enormous felt-tip marker sets that had so many shades of each colour. I first discovered that it was a great way to make trees look really 3D with the numerous shades of greens, yellows and ocres in each felt tip marker set. Then I used to do most of the picture in this way. Entered loads of colouring competitions using this method and won lots of bicycles, cameras, art materials, etc. I thought when I was a kid that I actually discovered this technique never having been exposed to it before. So you can imagine that when I eventually studied History of Art in secondary school and discovered that a guy called Georges Seurat invented the technique, I was sooo disappointed. I’m sure laughing now!!! LOL!! It’s so funny when I think about that.

Thank you Donna. Yes, I have to say it does take a lot of patience. I don’t do too many of these. I don’t have enough patience nowadays. I was 18 when I painted that so I must have had a lot of patience then. :)

Thank you very much George. :)

Thats great. Thanks very much Linda and Paul. :)

Thank you very much for saying so. And thanks for visiting. :)

Thanks so much for such a nice compliment Franzi. :~)
