Thank you for being here today. Welcome to all newbies and a big welcome back to those of you who already know me and my work. Great to have you here with me.

  • It makes me think of the Bethlehem star. It’s stunning!! And I’m so glad that you hung it up long ways. Looking forward to the next one. ✌️💜😃
  • @kittygirl159
    Simply stunning, Mark! Really reminds me of a sunburst! A Prussian Blue background would be great.
  • @marytye8952
    It’s an eclipse. The sky comes to life again and brings so much joy. This is a piece that you could watch and never see the same thing twice. Well done.
  • @melodeecho
    This is the entrance to glory at the end of a dark hole in space!! quite glorious!
  • @lyndaryan6928
    This is a stunning piece! You have helped me to realize that I can slow down my process instead of almost rushing my work. I love painting, but since I have started taking more time, I am finding a new level of enjoyment through the process. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge.
  • This makes me think of a birth of something new like a new star was born. Its so soothing to hear you explain everything and how you feel while doing these pieces. Love this one!!
  • Love the look of this sunburst. Just learning and fabulous technique. Very relaxed atmosphere!
  • @LiviyaLeigh
    If you are looking up close at just the middle I still get gerbera daisy, but when you pull back and look at the whole canvas I get either Star Trek wormhole or a hole in a piece of glass. I love it
  • @susanburg118
    Mark, I absolutely adore this piece! It took my breath away seeing all the colors blended so beautifully and what I see in your painting is a gorgeous sunrise or that twilight time right before you wake up. I can’t wait to try this technique myself. But when I do, I will certainly show it to you. I want to make you proud Mark! :-) You have taught me so much in techniques, but most importantly, and how I approach my art. When I first started following you, you would always remind us of being mindful and in the moment when we are creating art. That has stuck with me for over a year now, and I thank you for your kindness, your mindfulness, your extraordinary abilities as an artist, and in the end, you seem like such a great person!!! Thank you for teaching me and making me a better artist. 💜👏👏👏
  • @dawnevans6775
    Wow,!! Open to many interpretations I imagine.A very powerful image,nice creativity Sir. Thanks for thee inspiration I believe I needed..God Bless you & yours.👍✌️😀
  • I see Abstract Koi fishes all rapidly swimming into the middle of a(n horizon ♥️ ... especially with the black background accent it narrows that image into my perspective.
  • This is just as stunning as your first one, Mark! 😍😍😍To me, it's an incredibly amazing cosmic piece. I really love it, well done!!! 😃❤️🐨🙋‍♀️🚀🛸
  • My 95 year old Mother asked me what I was looking at. I told her an artist that I'm learning techniques from. She wanted to see!! After looking at your finished art piece, she committed that if it was on her wall, she would be wondering all the time what was in that black hole!!!!!!!! I told her it was an up close view of an eye ball. The black hole your looking in someone's Soul. Oh, Wow!! MOM EXCLAIMED!!
  • @binski1956
    Infinity. That's what I see--the endless expansion of the universe. Absolutely gorgeous!
  • @gbear056
    Stunning. I agree with kittygirl, Prussian blue would be amazing. I saw a daisy.
  • @kathyellis5213
    That’s magnificent. Thank you for sharing your talent with us
  • @FaithHopeLove59
