That`s great!more surprises for you at your experiments!:)

Artist Reply: Haha they can't be forced! Many thanks, Nataliya!

On your third page of works i love this the most. Second would be "Desert Dwellers." I have no real vivid expression, I am just drawn to this piece. Very much. You are a rara avis my friend. Thank you for all your works. They are truly gifts.

Artist Reply: On this whole painting everything was actually all accidentally, weird how it comes out sometimes. As you may have noticed I'm not a real abstract painter, so I'm often surprised myself. :) I'm really glad you like it and added your beautiful words on my board, Daniel. Thank you so much!

Danielle Gallagher 11 Oct 2009

Stunning colours, and I think that texture is really interesting - I'll have to try a rolling pin some time! It makes it look very like a silk painting, I think. Beautiful!

José GomesPereira 08 Apr 2009

What can I say about this painting, considering that things do not "just happen"? No! this is really a great moment of luminosity, done by someone that knows what she wants and...the rest is only inspiration, technic and sensibility.

Artist Reply: I'm still surprised myself what happened here, but I'm glad it did. :) I'm honoured by your visit, José, thank you for your thoughtful words.

I keep coming back to this image. Yes, I see it's a fire, but it's way more than that. The composition, the color (hot and cold), and the textures are so arresting! Well done!!!!!

Artist Reply: Dear Robert, thank you very much for your wonderful words!

Cody Card 27 Mar 2009

well, i am glad you explained the texture, it is neat to learn something each day... might i make a suggestion? i love the colors, and the expressionisticness of this image, it gives me a feeling of an autumn evening before fall... if you did another painting using blues and the rolling pin, you'd have a gorgeous complimentary winter peice... just a thought... keep up the beautiful work :)

Artist Reply: Dear Cody, thank you so much for your great suggestion. I think you are right! But I wonder if I could ever make such a painting again, it's actually one big accident, everything just happened. :)) Thank you for your thoughtful words, I appreciate them a lot!

How positively CLEVER, Anneke! The painting is almost abstract, yet, with this 'rolling pin' flames effect, it is literally 'bursting' with life!!!

How imaginative Anneke, and what a beautiful result, best wishes Terry

Artist Reply: Well, it wasn't so much my imagination to use the rolling pin, more a lack of the right tool! LOL I'm happy that you like the result, Terry! Many thanks for your kind words!

cynthia berridge 04 Nov 2008

brilliant and a rolling pin well I never great result from it

Artist Reply: I think it's because the paint had dried already a bit, so it got stuck to the pin. I'm glad you like it, Cynthia, thanks!

Lissi Lyngsø 15 Sep 2008

Love this. The Colors, the depth and the effects. I don't know what a rolling pin is, I'd like to know.

Prachtig werk Anneke. De woeste kracht van de natuur in zinderende kleuren.

Artist Reply: Hallo Gabrielle, hartelijjk dank voor je mooie comment!

Seth Weaver 11 Aug 2008

Awesome textures that work so perfectly in this work. Great experimentation, Anneke. Try using a toothbrush(great for mists and smoke if you flick the bristles with your thumb). Just a TRICK of mine!

Artist Reply: Yep, that's a great tip, it's just something for me! And it's even a lot cheaper than real brushes! (I'm Dutch eh? LOL) Good to see you in my gallery, dear Seth, I hope you're okay and happy. Thank you very much for stopping by and your wonderful words!

Olga van Dijk 11 Aug 2008

WHAT A GREAT IDEA to get your paint on the canvas, dear Anneke. Great effect of Lights and Darks.... It's a beauty... --Love & Light~OLGA

Artist Reply: Hi Olga, it's all an 'accident' this whole painting, it even rained on it while it was 'drying' on my balcony! I think I will never get this effect again! LOL But I like it too and I wanted to practize abstract anyway. :) Thanks for your sweet words and the visit!

kevin rollins 11 Aug 2008

lol, i think you will be using that rolling pin again, forget the roller! what a fantastic effect, this is a awesome piece!

Artist Reply: Oh yeah Kevin, I will use it again! Can't make dough with it anymore anyway, it has nice colours now. haha I could post my rolling pin here as 'applied art'. I'm glad you like it, thank you for your wonderful comment!

craynewhope 10 Aug 2008

Very realistic we better run for it now

Artist Reply: Hi Gary, I think you are right, it might be pretty hot out there. Thanks for your comment to my work!

a.f. reinhart 10 Aug 2008

Anneke, what a terrific bold image!! It almost has the look of a batik! Quite lovely, I enjoy the depth you have created in your trees. There is an intense struggle between the background and foreground which seems to contribute to the nature of the fire. Well done.

Artist Reply: Hi Angela, you are right, the struggle is caused by raindrops that fell on the painting. The upper half got washed. :) But it was a happy coincidence. Thank you for your beautiful comment, my friend in art.

Nira Dabush 10 Aug 2008

STUNNING ABSTRACT, ANNEKE... INDEED THE COLOURS OF FIRE.. The title fits wondefully.

annette steens 09 Aug 2008

very nice done Anneke! What kind of person is there in front, down on the painting? I love this unique work!

Artist Reply: Yes, I saw the 'person' too! It's funny, isn't it? It came there by accident. This whole painting is an 'accident' LOL. The texture is caused by a rolling pin that I used to put the paint on the canvas. Sometimes unexpected things happen :D. Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, Annette!

Sharon Gonzalez 09 Aug 2008

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, ANNEKE. FABULOUS COLORS. AND AWESOME SUBJECT.

INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF COLOR AND DESIGN!

Greg Vilton 09 Aug 2008

The effects in the sky look like what you can get by putting salt on watercolours. It's very beautiful and dramatic!

Artist Reply: It's not salt. I've used a rolling pin to bring the paint on and it has been raining on it when it was laying on my balcony to 'dry'! LOL So I was surprised myself what came out of it. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comment, Greg!

Ora Moon 09 Aug 2008

Very dramatic and lovely, excellent job on this!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Ora!

Gerard van den Berge 09 Aug 2008
