Collaboration Celebration

I would like to dedicate this painting to my dear friend Bruce Combs, as he is the source of inspiration for it.

This sea lion is painted over a painting that Bruce sent to me.
When it arrived it was a beautiful 'golden' painting with wonderful textures on it. Bruce thought it would be fun to do a painting together and asked me to paint 'something' on the golden canvas. He was so right! I had a lot of fun making this!
With this painting I would like to express my admiration for all the efforts he makes to help all living creatures in need on this planet.

With this painting I also would like to ask you to help to save the seals.
Here's a link to a site where we can do this, please click to help! CLICK

I wish to express my greatest appreciation to Anneke, as you would all guess, a splendid partner. We are working on some other stuff together. Meanwhile, you can see from above that Anneke deserves the most credit for her usual consummate performance, and please be assured that I am most humbly grateful for her kind words about me. And she didn't charge me all that much to write them, either. Thank you, dearest Anneke. Peace, etc., Bruce

Artist Reply: Dear Bruce, you know how much I love your work, so I'm really honoured to collaborate with you and of course have lots of fun too on our projects!:)) You're always a great inspiration! Thanks for your sweet words, my friend!

Beautiful work on this picture. The soft shimmery tones of the background give the painting a very warm and summery feeling! The sea lion and his rock came out very well, too. You took a painting that was already very nice and made it even better! Great job :)

I love collaborative paintings! What a splendid idea! Are these the 'snow seals' that get slaughtered with baseball bats for fur coats? Embarrassing, huh?

Heel mooi, Anneke! Zag je er zelf een zeeleeuw in?
