Tessellations

much appreciation of your kindness, as always… : )

thanks so much D!! very glad you like it. it is quite different and I am very pleased with what I was able to do with it…it’s given me a lot of ideas for new ones too. xx : )

Marion, thankyou so much for your lovely comments : DD

thanks a lot Juilee. i was unsure what to do with it for a long time, then something clicked…i was also inspired by what AL Neami did with it in out The Higher One collaboration….learned a lot from that… : DD

i thank you : )
very time-consuming but ultimately very satisfying and has inspired me to do more in this style….

thanks heaps Jane! very happy you like it : DD

thankyou! it’s so encouraging to me that people are responding so well to this painting : D

wish i could show you how it shimmers from different angles, Sticky!! many different shades of gold and copper that the camera cannot capture…”oh Sticky you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, Hey Sticky! Hey Sticky!” ; DD

thank you kind lady…i’ll let you know when the exhibition is on, in case you wanna come and check it out, there’ll be loads of other art there too…you might be interested in the gallery as well….so glad you like this. xxx : )

i’m really really happy that the time i spent doing this has paid off and that people are responding to it so positively. i like pushing myself to try new things, and i’ll definately do some more of these.
: D

thankyou so much Matt. : D

thankyou very much. my philosophy is that if you sit in front of the canvas for long enough, you’ll get there, and that even if it seems like you’ve wrecked it, you can still make it work. cheers : D

thankyou bosmoore. when it comes to art i can be very patient…and i learned a lot along the way too… : D

i have a renewed enthusiasm to do just that! if you’d be kind enough to get that duct tape and reattach my hand…..

i like the fact that painting as something you can always improve at…i look at stuff i did five years ago, that i thought was great, and now i can see how crude it is, and how i have improved…that’s when art is most satisfying… : ))

no worries, well done. you can hardly see the join…but wait, i think you put it on backwards…oh well, what’s the difference… : )

thankyou Care…i much prefer mosaicing this way to the real thing – now that is truly time-consuming!! : DD

thanks so much Anni, i’m overwhelmed by all the lovely comments people have left about this piece…makes all the bleary-eyed late nights worthwhile… : DD

maybe i could escape the dog grooming mines and take to the freak show circuit?! ...cool… : D

and freakshow money is the sweetest of all….. ; )

thanks very much Helene : D

so happy you like it, Sorina : DD

cheers, Mark : DD

thankyou Barbara. the first background i was just toying around becasue i couldn;t think of how to do it, but for the real painting, i wanted to do something properly classical in style..love those ancient roman mosaics..they were the masters… : DD

cheers, Barbara ; D

yuo say the nicest things, Tahnja. thankyou kindly : D

thanks so much, Lee Anne : DD

thankyou so much for your thoughtfull comments, RiverElf…that is just how i wanted the background to function – to draw the viewer in, like a vortex…i’m thinking about doing some new ones with a a similar style of background, and a beautiful snake as a real-life tessellated creature. : )

thankyou! i’d love to see it as a real mosaic too! : DD

i thank you, most sincerely : DDDDD

well having spent 6 months working on a real (huge) mosaic, i can tell you that this way is much easier on the hands! real mosaic is so beautiful…but it is just so much work.

i would gladly, but the group rules say no artworks of people…so….
thanks for thinking of me though : )

thanks Sharon, i will join : )

thanks ben! it took a lot of determination to make myself sit there until it was finished, but it was also very satisfying : ))

thank a lot : DD
