I used Armando's sketch and painted with Metallic and Pearlized acrylics on canvas. Thus different lighting gives you different shades and sheens. This was a very fun Challenge that I got lost in for a whole day; even forgetting to eat lunch. Thank you Armando.

Fantastic!! Love this Sharon....Can't imagine how i missed this one:)Bob Caldwell 14 Oct 2009
Sharon, very well done with amazing detail. The Pointillism work is done very well indeed and I get the impression a Folk art also. Your world within is of God, it shows and radiates outward from within and it is a world of very much fun and never ending showings of delight, peace and good. Sharon, never stop because what you do makes others happy.JENNIFER KESSELL 11 Feb 2009

Hello Sharon! This is a stunning painting and very Gallega! I used to teach English in a school in La Coruna near to where Armando lives in Ferrol. This image brings back memories of the 'Burying the Sardine' Festival. La Coruna is a fishing port and every year they have a procession of the virgin and the sardines which is carried down to the sea .Love the pointillism technique you've used. It gived the painting that extra magic. Brilliant artwork. (BTW, nice to know you've been to Pennard!!)Joyce Goldin 04 Aug 2008

Very interersting and colorful! Love it!Armando Salas 02 Aug 2008
TWENTY artist (I'm included) are involved in this project until now. I was tninking 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 19 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 youlillianhibiscus 02 Aug 2008
This is lovely Sharon.Shelley Walden 02 Aug 2008

Thank you again sharon So that's how you painted this piece. Beautiful work!MJ Mitchell 02 Aug 2008
I have seen many of the "challenges" - sounds like a lot of fun and I liked them all - but this one is different - I love the, I know not quite - but very much like, pointillism technique; to me it made such an awesome texture and I am sure the colors do change with the lighting - very interesting and an excellent work of art!!!Anneke Hut 02 Aug 2008
