It’s an eclipse. The sky comes to life again and brings so much joy. This is a piece that you could watch and never see the same thing twice. Well done.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🤩

[@kendramanuel1276]

It makes me think of the Bethlehem star. It’s stunning!! And I’m so glad that you hung it up long ways. Looking forward to the next one. ✌️💜😃

Thank you 😊

[@lyndaryan6928]

This is a stunning piece! You have helped me to realize that I can slow down my process instead of almost rushing my work. I love painting, but since I have started taking more time, I am finding a new level of enjoyment through the process. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge.

The mix of the vibrant colors on the interior of the circle immediately bring my mind to a city skyline on a hot summer evening….beautiful!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@manuelaschmit4094]

Your painting resonates with me on such a profound level. I see in it an inner eye that reflects the journey of emerging from the depths of darkness, much like I’ve experienced during my own struggles with burnout and negative thoughts. It’s a testament to the power of art to capture and convey emotions. Thank you for creating something so deeply moving and relatable. 🎨✨

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much for sharing your raw and real interpretation of this piece and what it means to you. I hope there is more light than dark in your life now. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and feedback with me

[@kittygirl159]

Simply stunning, Mark! Really reminds me of a sunburst! A Prussian Blue background would be great.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

That would be cool! I love Prussian Blue! Thank you 😊

[@susanburg118]

Mark, I absolutely adore this piece! It took my breath away seeing all the colors blended so beautifully and what I see in your painting is a gorgeous sunrise or that twilight time right before you wake up. I can’t wait to try this technique myself. But when I do, I will certainly show it to you. I want to make you proud Mark! :-) You have taught me so much in techniques, but most importantly, and how I approach my art. When I first started following you, you would always remind us of being mindful and in the moment when we are creating art. That has stuck with me for over a year now, and I thank you for your kindness, your mindfulness, your extraordinary abilities as an artist, and in the end, you seem like such a great person!!! Thank you for teaching me and making me a better artist. 💜👏👏👏

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wow!!! Susan….. thank you so much!!! This comment is everything to me. Your kind words of encouragement and support mean a lot. Thank you so so much. You’ve made my day 😊😊😊😊

[@aprilstalnaker2325]

To me it looks like a beautiful closeup of a flower but with the colors you used it almost adds a new meaning like something normally taken for granted being put into the spot light. It seems to add value to the flower's existence.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@nataliemarshall3991]

Love this piece, and it's simplicity and complexity. It is stunning. It is lovely to be told to relax and be in the moment.

If you are looking up close at just the middle I still get gerbera daisy, but when you pull back and look at the whole canvas I get either Star Trek wormhole or a hole in a piece of glass. I love it

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Ohhhh interesting- thank you so much. I wonder what would be through that hole if we could travel through it?! 😊

My 95 year old Mother asked me what I was looking at. I told her an artist that I'm learning techniques from. She wanted to see!! After looking at your finished art piece, she committed that if it was on her wall, she would be wondering all the time what was in that black hole!!!!!!!! I told her it was an up close view of an eye ball. The black hole your looking in someone's Soul. Oh, Wow!! MOM EXCLAIMED!!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wow that’s amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with me

[@hottubtimemachine1200]

Awesome answer I’m definitely doing one in blue for my house since we all have blue eyes. Update: watched video with my granddaughter (6 and on the spectrum) then read her this comment she then said “it’s so beautiful and You will be able to watch me at my house when we make one, this man is magical.” It’s so wonderful how the little things astonish people of ALL ages.

[@DagmawiTeshome-yu5vb]

Wow

[@michelletelfer8261]

I just thought it was absolutely stunning, and I'm going to try it out. I was screaming at you to stop an not do that area but your final touches made all the difference an created amazing detail. An that's why you are the professional. ❤

Thank you so much Anna 🌊🙏😊

[@OnBeingFurnando]

I love this! It reminds me of a prism: 'A prism separates visible light into its different colors. As light passes through the prism, it slows and bends, but different wavelengths bend at different angles. This separates light into different wavelengths, forming a rainbow of colors'. It's kind of mesmerizing to me!

You have taken me through so many emotions with this video. I felt glued to my screen. Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork. What struck me first was the mirrored finish in the black base. Stunning. Then, you made that burst of color and I was gone. You are great. If I had that in front of me on a wall, I would be drawn to the center. I think if I stared at the center, the circle of colors would "open my eyes" to the shimmering growth of beauty, growing out, but not away. It makes sense in my head. Ha! This is now bookmarked to do. I took up painting in the fall last year. I've been playing with some paint pouring, lately, with a few wins (and many fails), and ran across metallic art pour. I purchased six metallic colors to start with. This is now bookmarked to do. I'll be doing this on a much smaller canvas, tho.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

With all the Webb Telescope imaging that we've seen lately, as well as the discussion around that "monster blackhole" that was discovered in the last 2 weeks or so, your creation got me thinking about that "monster blackhole" and how much beautiful color it must combine in the last few seconds of a star's life before it gets sucked into it's the magnificent void. So, your creation is that beautiful "monster blackhole" to me.

I can definitely see a sun or more likely a radiating mysterious energy, but I can also see an extreme close-up of a brown eye, just the pupil and the iris.
