Fantastic work on the background!

Thank you very much!

*stealing your lights and colour skills*

Ohnooooo! I need dem!

I love your mark making <3
So lovely and refreshing in the hyper detail craze

Thank you very much, it's honestly a constant back and forth between more or less realistic, but hey glad it works :)

omg this is fantastic!!

Thank you very much!

I cannot fully understand or explain why this makes me so very happy. Seriously. This is something I would pay to have an ultra-high resolution scan, or a film-quality photo, and have it printed on a large format printer for framing and hanging on the wall.

Is this physical media? Oil and canvas?

I only work digital, and well while it's not a gigantic format, inPrnt for example offers this one up to a 24x24 inch size, which is a pretty decent size all in all!

the way you create greenery is gorgeous. love it. really love the dark foreground slowly giving way to the bright background. heyoooo composition

Thank you very much, yeah plants can be super fun to draw, given that they're such a mess in a sense you can really get away with a lot and keep it all pretty abstract.

Lovely, just lovely work.

Thank you :)

Thank you very much, and yeah i wouldn't even say that i'm particularly great at it either. Not bad either, but certainly with lots of room left above :D

Thank you :)

UGH. I love your work so much. Your textures are multi-sensory

Haha, so like a braille painting?

Yes actually! The child in me would absolutely want to run their hands all over that canvas but the adult in me would stomp the hands before touching the painting xD

Thankfully though not too much you can ruin there given that it's digital! Perfectly smudge proof!

I love your painterly style

THank you very much!

For some reason, I am reminded of Tony Montana. Nice happy pastoral picture

Hah thank you very much!

I love all the detail work on the background and the figure!

Happy to hear that, thank you!

this is amazing :O i love this so much omg

Cheers, thank you!

spring is coming...

the much more pleasant Game of thrones spinoff

"The robot in the garden" seems almost an archetypal figure to me. A thing of artifice surrounded by a sea of vivid, unplanned life; a thing made to mimic human life, but enduring through the passage of years, unchanging amid change, a witness to the passing of generations far, far past the people who made it and gaining thereby an understanding of humanity that no human could ever achieve. I've read or watched a number of stories with that premise.

This picture brought all of that together in my mind just now <:3 Quite an impact! For me, the absence of any other figure, any presence of the hands and minds that shaped everything in the picture, is hugely powerful. What's outside the garden? The familiar bustle of human life? Or a world so different we couldn't recognise it, maybe a world from which human life has passed?

Yeah I know, you were commissioned to paint a robot donkey in a pretty garden XD This is a personal reaction. You often paint pictures that make me want to look longer, and think.

Haha thank you very much, and hey even if it's just a commission with a robot donkey in a garden, if it spurrs some further thoughts and wonderings in some people then that's a great thing in my opinion! It's why i rarely really talk about the picture itself very much, i think it's much more interesting to let people sort of forge their own path because nothing i could tell them about the actual idea behind the painting could be as interesting as the one they put together themself given that their thoughts are just inevitably steered by what they enjoy and find intruiging etc.

Also gonna take the quick time here and thank you for the other comments as well :) Always feels a little weird to answer to a bunch from the same person, so i skipped on answering a few where i really couldn't say much!

Very beautiful
