Very balanced, interesting piece. Love the use of the four colours.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Jacinta 😊🙏

[@tina-ec7ce]

I think this is perfection… I like the last colors aspect it allows you to enjoy the details and not be overwhelmed by all the different colors. I think it’s beautiful …perfect amount of swipes, perfect amount of lines and cells… As Jodi would say… Winner, winner, chicken dinner. 💙🤍🩵💛

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

[@Marie-LouiseArt]

I love the way you show the colours at the beginning and consistency. It really helps picture it going on the canvas. I adore "good ol' iridescent pebeo gold". It has such a realistic gold colour. What a beautiful outcome. Very calming to look at too. Thank you xx

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much! Haha yeah the gold is one of my go-to’s 💜🌟👍🏻

[@donnastanton2643]

Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say 🙏

[@rechellethackray]

@@MarkJRatcliffeArt All true 💯👌

[@lynnhoward5220]

Oh Mark. That's absolutely stunning. I've never been a real fan of the ring pour because in so many of them the lines become jagged and that doesn't sit well with my energy. I like softly rounded lines and now you've shown me how that can be achieved. You are an immense talent!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wow Lynn!!! You are so kind and generous with your lovely feedback. Thank you so much 😊 xx

What a gorgeous piece! Great choice of colours. I love all the details in it. The swiped parts look like rocks under water. The ring pour with the swipes is an interesting combination, si I'm looking forward to seeing more pieces with this technique, maybe one with greens and copper... It was fun to watch you pour the rings. It reminded me of Khaa's eyes when he was hypnotising Mowgli. 🖒💖

Thank you so much! I’m loving the fact that combining these techniques can have such amazing patterns with lines and lacing. I promise to do a green one 🌟💚
