Bruce, there are so many fascinating details in this. I love the choice of colors and the shapes. It takes me to another world, a world of beauty.

Artist Reply: Thank you so very much for expressing your encouraging enthusiasm, Olga! Especially from you that means so much. I love your stunning and absolutely beautiful portraiture. I marvel so, and can't pick one to praise or know what to say, how to express my admiration for them, for you. In short, they leave me speechless -- and that's doesn't happen often to me! Peace, etc., Bruce

Beautiful vibrant colours, Bruce! I spent quite a long time looking at this, because there are so many different things you can see, hidden amidst all the paint colours and textures. It has a very oceanic feel to it. Wonderful painting! :)

Artist Reply: Hi, Laura, Thank you so much for your very thoughtful and analytic comment on that painting, as well as for your own feelings about and from it. As you probably know well by now, if you didn't already, it means so much to an artist to have some specific details or qualities mentioned rather than just and enthusiastic one or two word description. Peace, etc., Bruce

Artist Reply: Thanks so much for the good comment, Leny, and mentioning the colors rather than just saying that it is grand, for instance. Peace, etc., Bruce

Lovely sea creatures, like dolphins and eels, I even see a little frog and octopus. It's just great, Bruce!! As Trixi already said in an earlier version, there's a wonderful peace. :)

Artist Reply: Dear Anneke of the Keen Eyes and Great Imagination! I'm always glad you have come to share your wonderful perceptions with us. But my dear, you seem to have missed the great sea turtle! It, too, is a very endangered species, and a wonderful huge and ancient creature. Peace, etc., Bruce
