What a cheerful version Roy! Well, not for the fish... they look surprised and a bit unhappy not to be in the water.... C'est la vie!

Artist Reply: Thanks for your nice comment Lior:-)))

Your sun is beautiful! I also love your green background. It's great to see all the different versions of Armando's idea.

Artist Reply: Thanks Anneke xxx;-)

I already know my father's painting. Your version is better for sure. (Just renouncing to the legacy... LOL:-)

Artist Reply: Thanks Armando Jr. I bet you say that to all the girls! ( In fact I know you did!)

Oooohhh I like how you added a village in the background instead of the ocean, that's brilliant! So nice to meet Roy, through this challenge of Armando's. Fun and well executed rendition!

Artist Reply: Thank you Minerva. Nice to meet you!

I am so amazed at how we all had such a diverse idea for the drawing, yet, still each one remains a part of Armando. I love the addition of the beaming sun, and rolling hills.. Very Awesome Roy!!

Artist Reply: Thanks Pamela xxx;-)

Eighteen artists (I'm included) are involved in this project until now. I was thinking about a "standard" comment for all people. Although you all are the real artists, it's as if your creatures were "my kids". Does a father show preferences? Not at all. All of them, sons and daughters are beautiful and loved. I'll not like to hurt someone because I write "Wonderful" to one and "Lovely" to another one. I must be cautious because I know all people put the same feelings and passion for art in their work. When I got this idea I thought: "If I'm lucky, perhaps 3-4 artists..." I couldn't suspect 17 TALENTED artists more (by now :-) were ready to share this strange experience. Sorry my English knowledge isn't good enough to express my feelings but all of you must know I truly appreciate your endless support in all I do or start. Yes, this one is my STANDARD comment. AMAZING WORK! I feel myself honored because you are part of my project and my heart. No more words are needed. Thank you very much. Love you.

Artist Reply: Thank you my friend. It is reward enough to be part of this great circle of creative people:-))))
