[@MaddyT54321]

Mark 😊 this is blimming brilliant 👏. Love colours compositions etc .... such a great concept ❤. Definitely going to try this 😊

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You should! Thank you so much. ☺️

[@Susan.Burns63]

Isn't Mark just marvelous 😊👌

[@3dlovely]

Absolutely brilliant!!! I can see using all of them as a grouping on a wall. They would all coordinate together, but yet be different. Genius! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea. Denise ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much my friend xx

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

Oh my! How beautiful! Who would have thought of using a squeegie? Creative!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! So much fun and I have some more squeegee work coming out soon too, creating texture 😀

[@hebertry870]

Whoa this is what i needed Mark!! You've opened up a new avenue. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity 🌟

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

My pleasure!! Thank you 🤩

[@pamelar3607]

What an awesome idea. Love it.. but I think all of them would look better with no mat edging them out. Just the frame less frames would look perfect for them. They would seem to flow into each other better if hung together. Great job ! Great video! Have a great weekend.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks for the tip!

[@teresaharrington9383]

I really enjoyed your video Mark. What type of paper did you use? Also, what type of big paint brush did you use.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you - it’s lining paper (before you wall paper) and it’s just a standard brush nothing special 👍🏻

[@cjbarash3819]

I love how organized and clean you are when you paint.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! 😊 it’s not always so clean but mostly

[@cherishthemessypainter]

I love this idea! i could see two large cutouts with borders like 11x14 side by side on the wall framed. That would be so cool!

Very cool concept I liked it also as two separate paintings thought it would look good embellished with gold leaf. I see a lot of this art in doctors, offices, hospitals, and hotels it really does sell.
