The colours you use and the way you combine them is lovely. My favourite painting however is Red Planet Encounter. The orangy reds and the yellows are so vibrant.

Lenny~ Excellent job creating depth and using amazing colors! I also think your brush strokes with the textures makes this even better.. great job :):)

2 months

Lenny Thomas

Hello Chrisann, It's good of you to comment on my painting, when I was painting this I wanted the whole scene to stand out and the only thing I could think of at the time was to apply the paint on very thick with a knife, Thanks again, Happy New Year!

Hey Lenny: the orange color jumped out and grabbed me. I like your interest in the "Space-time continuum," and the implications for we Earthlings. Sobering to contemplate. When I looked closer at your painting, I could see the Mars Rover down there taking samples of the Red Planet. Best wishes, Carl

Hi Margaret, Thanks for all the wonderful things you are saying about this painting! the canvas was 8x10 inches; I guess you can say I was trying to tell a big story in a little space, texture wise, I used a painting knife to help creative the illusion of size and space Thanks,Lenny

Hi Joan, thanks for those wonderful comments on this painting, it always good to hear from a Pro like yourself.
You are right! this site is one of the best things going for a lot of artists, if this was a few years ago it would be almost impossible to have this much interacting with other artists from around the world, so thanks again and all the best to you! Lenny

Phenemonal! The Red planet is gleaming! Love the digital brushstrokes and wonderful texture. Far out there in the distance there is it's sister Phobos, glaring down towards this Red planet, who knows? could be Mars?, or beyond? The black really sets this Red Planet ablaze! Also, the other planet is magnificent with its complimentary colours of blue and green,like a 'glass marble'. Wonderful effect! 5***** Regards Angela

Hello Lenny,, So pleased, that you like our truck,, it is our baby, it has been in the family for a long time! We enjoy going to lots of car shows, with her,,,,12 years ago or so , my husband put up a ledge in our office for a few trophies, that the truck had won,,, now we have a whole room for them. In this photo, the truck looks black in color,,,which she does look like in the shade, but in the sunlight, she is very dark, dark plum,,,the color is called ,pearl plum. Thankyou, for taking a look and commenting, very nice to hear, Lenny! Take Care! Sincerely, Doris

Lenny Thomas

Hi Doris, thanks for commenting on my painting and sending me more information about your truck!
In the early 70's I had a friend in New York City who had a 1938 Chevy Coupe, he restored it to mint condition he used to park this car between two buildings in Brooklyn, and one night one of the buildings caught fire and damage the paint job, after that he wanted to sell the car to me for 1500.00 but at the time I didn't have any money so I had to let it pass me by, but what a car if I had it today I'm sure it would be worth a fortune but that's how life goes, so take care of your baby and all the best...Lenny

I dropped by to admire your lovely painting, again, Lenny,,,and I know exactly what a 38 chevy coupe looks like , as we have a friend who has one. It is a great memory for you,,,we have been lucky to hold onto the 48 truck,,,even during a few ups and downs over the years ,,money wise, we have always managed! But, there may be another day that you, will get another opportunity,,to have one! Here's hoping for you! Sincerely, Doris
