Birthplace

another great work!

really wonderful Paul!

wow… (I actually said it out loud as well) this is both unusual and strangely familiar at the same time.. fantastic imagery, very lyrical

actually the more I gaze through the picture, the middle becomes like a port hole, as though the area around is a ship, I don’t know how you made it so that it looks like I could climb through the hole… hahaha

I love these metaphors.. but more than that.. i love this piece as it speaks to me

you are so damn special…...... this work just makes me love you all the more…....... it’s wonderful paul…. and so uniquely you…..............xox…......b

Amazing work…

I feel as though instead of looking out of a porthole into the water…this scene is in reverse….I’m looking into a ship; and into a different world…

This is great Paul – it’s very historic and one can feel a whole generation of simple happy fun here….i.e. no complexity like today!

I wonder if that port hole is open .. i want to reach through and tap her on the shoulder .. i like that this picture is a few different things .. gosh you’re an amazing illustrator .. so sassy and endearing .. x

great work and detail,. love the tea’s effect as well….........

fantastic as per usual Paul, you are such a great talent

wow. so many questions….intriguing yet disturbing. wonderful :)

Ahh, so sweet! I love the mood evoked by the colours. Lovely silhouettes!

Lovely, I like how you frame things.

This is a beautiful image – it does indeed make me think of a reverse, looking into a ship with a magic hidden woorld inside, while perhaps I’m drowning outside … hhhhmmmmmmm.

it woud also make an outstanding trompe l’oeil…

so simple, yet so elegant

someday soon i must have a Compton hanging on my wall…
lovely piece!

Hmmmm, i made a reply, guess it didn’t record, drat, it was like 2 days ago!!!! Still having probs with RB, Anyhoooooo i sooooo love this Paul. This is spectacular & magnifico!!!!!!!!!!! So dark & beautiful, love the reflection on the water, & the trees, or are they actually his or hers legs, like a sinister type of Merperson? Love love love this Paul. And the border is fantastico. Exquisite & so lovely

very saddening in a beautiful way x

I got THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!!. It looks lovely on my bedroom wall surrounded with white wall. I have stood and stared for about an hour, the more I look, the more I am falling in love with this image, over and over!! Thank you for creating this!

Fascinating!

Wow….Totally thought provoking….

I love “Birthplace” with Ink and tea stains ….... your line work is beautiful and classical Paul
a joy to behold, such quality and workmanship…. i like very much how it leaves you asking
questions, the title is a leading question in a way….leading us to ask more…..there is a story
to be told….. :)

WOW, this is so good, the attention to detail in this is brilliant!!! :)

very interesting work
,like a 1890s luna park viewing platform

I see; yes this too has the theme of evolution in it. The two forms of life shown are certainly both originally from the water. I don’t know if I would have thought about it had I not seen and commented on ”... To Posses You With”, but I’m glad you brought my attention to this; and I see it in a very interesting point of view.

Just wonderfully dark !

briliant ! I loooove it! Instant fav!

I adore this image, sublime and charismatic, my cup of tea so to speak…

Incredible work mate!

so poignant and somehow primeval at the same time. beautiful work

what wonderfull place to be born or die even
metaphorically jungian great piece of artwork

This strikes me as the sequel to “the drowning lady” or maybe this one comes first ?

This should be the picture for the caption ‘a picture speaks a thousand words’

Gorey would be proud of you…
