MARKET I

thanks Nicholas…..India offers so much for the painter….cheers Bill

thank you for all your lovely comments Sharon….I suppose if you only do one thing in life you had better be good at it….from one islander to another….cheers….bill

thanks Tandoor

thanks Peter…..strange that you do photos that look like paintings and I do paintings that look like…well…photos….maybe your a frustrated painter and I’m a frustrated photographer..who knows…cheers Bill

thanks for your support Connie….cheers Bill

thanks Deb….love your work…..Bill

thanks Marilyn…keep up the good work….Bill

thank you very much for that….sometimes we need to get our ego massaged….appreciate it….cheers Bill

thank you Cathy…love your child portraits….Bill

hard to say Lazarita..I usually have 4 or 5 paintings going at the same time…perhaps 80 hours

thank you Ming, but after looking at your collection you are more of an artist than what I ever could be, a wonderful collection with mastery in so maney facets, you have a great future in the Arts and so it is me who is in awe….well done….Bill

Hidemi your comments are far too generous…your work is exceptional…if I could draw like you I would be a better painter…always remember when draughting a painting, lines and more lines…thanks again and much success…Bill

Thank you for that…I love your work ’ Dali meets Bosch’......two of my favourite artists…...cheers Bill

thanks Margaret….the brushes I use are small enough…I realise how small when I do this size painting…...cheers Bill

thank you Alma….Bill

thanks Roger….now if I could just get a painting hung in the Archibald I could die contented….cheers Bill

thank you Karen….Bill

thanks Colin…sometimes my attention to detail does produce that photorealism feel…..but it is unintentional…..cheers Bill

Hello Colin…sorry you thought I may have taken it the wrong way….you do raise an interesting point though..when does realism become photo realism…my artistic interpretation of a subject matter is zero which is why I have always regarded myself as a painter moreso than an artist….and its why I have always admired though with that ‘painterly ’ style you mentioned….but at the end of the day we work with what we got…..cheers Bill
