Beautiful colors and so wonderful waterlilly.... great artwork!! Did you realize this work from a photo? which program did you use? it is so amazing....

Michael Forbus
Artist Reply: Federica, I use photographs sometimes for a base and then use another layer in Photoshop to paint the image. So I use a Wacom Tablet, Photoshop CS2 or Corel and some times plugins which are just additions to the software made by another company. I really appreciate your kind remarks and was on your site today and you are quite the traveler. Must be a great life. I travel myself and gather photographs but not as much as I used to. I have thousands to choose from to paint so it is years of work. I am done working for a living and just try and relax and have fun painting. So I am moving back to Florida in a few weeks and visit with my family and then on to a town on the Gulf Coast to live. Not far from them or another art project I am working on for a collector. Thanks so much for your kindness and generosity in your comments. Very kind of you. Miguel

Magnificent contrasts Michael, the inky black broken by the soft yet vibrant colours of your floral master piece. Blending colour & darkness in one harmonious image. Perfect balance.

Artist Reply: My good friend, you are waxing quite poetically about my scratchings. Thank you so very much. I love the way you speak of my work. It elevates the work by your very words. I thank you so sincerely and am very grateful for your heaven sent friendship. Have a most glorious weekend with the Missus. My blessings on you both. Adios, compadre, Miguel
