Such a fantastic dream like piece, I truly love home the setting and she is not standing out as the center of attention but mearly hanging around the candy. Very pleasing and sweet, endearing….. not like candy :)

Waaahhh!!! I always go directly to the sites before commenting because usually what’s posted isn’t the best resentation of the artists’ work. So much more awaits on their sites. Now I have to wait until my husband comes home to make sure this laptop is protected. :o( Be back later.

Turn on your fire wall and visit this site! Amazing work. Technical skill was on point, and the subject matter…well who wouldn’t like to get lost in a world of beautiful women on candy clouds?! I was quite impressed. Artistaday is a great site and I love having it on my google home page. recently, however, I’ve been wondering when they were going to give me something worth spending time with … and today they have. Beautiful way to start my day! thank you… but PLEASE visit the site if you’re not afraid, the images there are just inspiring.

I have never been so disappointed to discover pieces of art were not photographs but actual paintings. I wish these places/models actually existed. Absolutely fantastic work.

Incredible.
Comment by Brian — November 10, 2009
Amazing work. Really love these. The portraits seem like a logical progression, but honestly it’s the landscapes and fantasy candy lands that keep me engaged. The portraits are a little too goofy for my taste, but still this is awesome work. It’s kind of strange, but I almost want some of these to be actual photographs.
