Thanks, Lucas! Makes me happy to know you listened.
Clive, what fun to share some qarrtsiluni-space with you, Elijah, and the Raven! It makes a grand conclusion to the issue.
Hope lots of qarrtsilunians visit your site and meet your work…
Just magical. The spotty mug, and flashes of echoed azure… and a feel of beaten metal and verdigris. I love this.
I did not know of this artist. Thanks for introducing him.
A wonderful painting.
A big thank you to all for the positive feedback about this painting. (The owners will be thrilled!) All praise to Dave and Beth for making a great job of using it as a springboard to a fascinating podcast. You two are a class act!
Astounding!
