I want bigger! :D

Great, great, and great. The fish is the first thing you look at, but there's so much more to it than that. It's amazing, really! It looks real in the way the colors and light make depht and the shapes creates an organic, underwater, fresh feel to it. :)

And your painting is skilled and marvelous. And I like the way you have these painting drops and the small spots with white, yellow and red, which I though was a great way to make this more dirty, and create contrasts, allthough it's not very clear.

The light is also superb, and the way the fish is wanting to go to the light (or what the heck it's doing) is cool. I though this was a really peaceful, different but beautiful picture. I would buy it to hang it on my wall. :)

N0RM responds:

Thanks! I really appreciate your comments. I tried to make it peaceful with the subject and the colors and at the same time dynamic with aggressive brush strokes and splatters. I'm glad you like it!

The image of this could be bigger.

I like what I see.
No heavy critique from me except that; if you are to ever have an aquarium hang this above it hey? Just kidding.

Really though... put this in a room or hallway that gets a lot of traffic.
Good stuff, very well done.

N0RM responds:

Hey thanks! Well my girlfriend is now the owner of this artwork, so.. yeah lol, I'll make more similar ones like that in the future. Thanks for the comment!

This is also very nice

Abstract, but evocative. Again, great use of colours. I hope to see more works from you.

N0RM responds:

thanks!

great piece overall

i like the mood the lighter blues set in the top and in the middle but i think the darker purples and the reds in the left ruin the feeling of light and bubbly i get when looking at the rest of the picture. i like the fact that aside from the fish(beta im guessing)the lines on everything else arent clear and defined. it really serves to pull focus to the fish rather having your eyes get lost in the rest of the colors around it

N0RM responds:

Yeah I understand what you mean. Thanks for commenting!

Hm! Very moody!

This looks more like the bottom of a swallow part of an exotic ocean
than a fish tank.
Unless she owns the ocean! lol.

Some nice effects in there for acrylics...

Nice image visually, but it does lack depth or meaning:
Then again i suppose its has personal value.

N0RM responds:

Well this is suppose to be in the ocean :) and yeah the value is personal between me and my girlfriend, but not everyone can find a meaning in everything. Thanks for your comment!
