thepaintedsoul replied
Hey Christine, Thanks for dropping by and being so generous in your comment. I just viewed the image and realized that it was the wrong version. I uploaded the color-corrected version that closely matches the original painting. Sorry about that. Hope you still like it anyway. Have a fab week. Cheers!
ChristineBetts
wow yeah, the colours are amazing.
wildthing
Amazing!
thepaintedsoul replied
Thanks! It took forever to figure out how to interpret the window. What to show What to leave out. Lots of painting and repainting to get the balance. I got inspired by the fabulous artist Richard Estes. His stuff blows me out of the box. He’s a modern master.

Wow its making me dizzy!
thepaintedsoul replied
That’s funny. It actually made me dizzy at times. What to put in? What to leave out? : >)
Virginia McGowan

thepaintedsoul replied
Thanks Ginny. Glad you enjoy this painting.
Reba Hierholzer
When I first saw this, I thought of Richard Estes too. Awesome painting!
thepaintedsoul replied
I count that as high praise. . .I guess, . .unless you were thinking. . .”Oh my gosh, this guy is a hack painter, nothing like Richard Estes.” LOL

rosincore
that has to be one of the most interesting pictures i have ever seen. Great job with the 3d. Never really seen anything like this. Very good! I say Amazing.
thepaintedsoul replied
Hey rosincore, thanks for stopping by. If you want to see someone who makes my work look like an ape slopping paint, Google the artist Richard Estes. He’s amazing. But thanks for the compliment.
: >D
Kuulei2you

Mrswillow
Brilliant! Everything about this is just brilliant!!
thepaintedsoul replied
Hey Mrs. Willow. : >D Haven’t been on the Bubble except to keep my Bubblemail from stacking up, and today saw your comment. Hmmmm. . . shows you how out of it I am. Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words. I am working on a music project, so have little time for anything but that. But I hope to be back soon to check in on all my Bubble buddies. Hope you are doing well. Take care of yourself. Cheers!
Orla Cahill
That’s brilliant! You are so superb at painting and I just love the reflections. They create such lovely shapes and unusual abstractions.
thepaintedsoul replied
Hey Orla. . . I’ve been away from the Bubble, but came across your note after I tried to wade through the Bubblemail. Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by. I did have a blast painting this piece in particular. I just thought the reflections and the interior scene were a fun challenge. Anyway, thanks so much for caring enough to drop by. Have a fabulous week!
neogolas
brilliant,simply remarkable.
thepaintedsoul replied
I’ve been away from the Bubble, but caught your comment tonight as I was sorting my mail. Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate your comment. Cheers!
Lynda Robinson
CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL! I’ve just noticed this amazing painting has won even more accolades by winning the ‘Architecture’ challenge in the Painter’s in Modern Times group! Fantastic work!
thepaintedsoul replied
Hey, I didn’t know about this. . . I was here tonight sorting Bubblemail and trying to unscramble an email from this woman who wanted to write a feature about me. I guess I won some award somewhere, maybe in “Real” Life Art. Anyway, I saw comments from folks and next thing you know I’ve burned 45 minutes on here lingering over other people’s work. : >D And BTW, I love the Con Conning portrait. His physical characteristics are so strong. . . a great subject matter for a portrait, wonderfully portrayed by your skilled soul. Good job! Well, I better get on to other things around here. Take care and have a fab week.
Carole Russell
Congrats – a worthy winner of the PIMT challenge
thepaintedsoul replied
Thanks Carole, saw your note when I was sorting through my B-mails. Hope all goes well for you at the Bubble. Back to the music. : >D
Alexandra Popescu
Interesting structure!
thepaintedsoul replied
thanks Alexandra. It was a challenge to figure out what to emphasize in the reflections and what to leave out. Have a good day!
Irene Burdell
This is just brilliant work , you really have to look at it hard to see which are reflections and which aren’t , fabulous work with so much detail and a fav.
thepaintedsoul replied
Ah, you’re on the Bubble tonight, too. Thanks so much for dropping by. I am still thinking on that photo you pulled together. It is quite moving. Have a good week. Cheers!
