Well I'm not sure they know it. maybe- they are very good at Chinese... so perhaps their linguistics have branched out? But they all went to international schools in beijing so therefore they seem to know lots of people who speak Tagalog.

And yes I have noticed what you noticed. Its just one the the things with working with beautiful colours and the golding details... You could create millions of "details" from each one... hmmm

So its thanks to the Greeks for capitalist consumerism too eh!
I found out my next exhibition is in August at any rate... in Ardfern - (where the masked party was). So I need to get some of my new landscapes framed soon...

That's a tricky business with sales. On the one hand selling an original is straightforward and rewarding but on the other, high quality prints can usually be sold at a better price to a greater audience and preserves the original for exhibiting. It really depends on where you are heading with your work. In the right circles (of people who can truly appreciate what you are doing) there is a different emphasis - on that of you as the artist - rather than on the art alone.

Yes, its true. But I tend to find at the moment, exhibitions are few and far between and not having a solo or even joint show with another artist on the horizon, I could do with the cash! The exhibition in Ardfern is a really good quality local show for local artists in a location where art is really appreciated but the limit is four paintings - which is actually more than previous years - but obviously thats not that many. I usually sell one or two from there...

emm
its easy to confuse these words and terms

"Te Tra Gram Ma Ton" - each part of this word was asigned to one of the 5 points of the star. Starting with the top left and working round clockwise. It is confusing because of the greek tetra but it is correctly read in this contest as the hebrew te tra.

Thanks Julia. I believe she was delighted.

hurray! thats good. yeah, i always want to enter contests but when I try to force myself to create a certain work, i usually end up with junk (at least I think so anyways). but yeah. sometimes it can be fun to follow a theme for a while and see what you come up with

Really REALLY like this.
Would love to hear where you got "Tetragrammaton" from as tetra means four.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I know eh.. Its a funny quirk but take a look at the Link that I have in my artist description. ---its a Wikipedia link - then scroll down till you see a star called Tetragrammaton.. Contradiction perhaps... dunno why?

dont allways trust wikipedia
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, don't worry I am always skeptical of Wikipedia. But I knew about this prior to finding an easy link to show those who didn't know -hence wikipedia. THe fountain of all knowledge (and bullshit )

How delightful, and what a wonderful idea! It's looks very magical and spiritual and I love the lightness of it and the delicate outlines. I don't think the importance of the religious symbol is in any way diminished by your represenation, on the contrary: flowing divine love....
