Hi Maria,
It was just my interpretation from your colorful paintings.
I think the average person expects colorful characters in artists! lol!!
I agree with you about painting on black - it can have a dramatic or mysterious effect in some cases, or give others, such as glass or crystal, that extra sparkle.
Just stay happy with what you do!
Happy painting :-)) Gail.

Dear Gail,
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my paintings. I see that you too like to paint on black backgrounds. Your work is detailed but some are remarkable when you put it on black and leave a lot to the imagination. In regard to your comment about my self portrait with one of my dogs Maggie, I felt that too much color would overpower my paintings... however I will reconsider .... people have told me that I do indeed have a colorful character.... don't know if that is a good thing! Just the same THANK YOU.

I like this, but was disappointed you didn't use your bold colors to describe your colorful character! :-))
