Moara - Coops

[Lima]

Whaheed Nasir is "hors concours". One superlative Master. His art is superb and outstanding. Visit his homepage HERE (http://www.waheednasir.com/2d.htm). This is my small contribution to this great artist.

[sandyg]

Great Oriane, wonderful addition to the Gallery.

[Lima]

Coops, your Want2Paint's gallery is very nice and she surely deserves it.

Robert you are always right!!!

SCP is a great fellow and a great artist. I put togheter some of his art:)

[RobertSWade]

Saying Waheed Nasir is like saying Bach. "Ah, Bach." A fitting tribute to a true master who paints with flicks and flecks that seem to flow from him with such ease that it makes one wonder, "Why can't I do that?" and whose palettes are always gorgeous.

[RobertSWade]

Scott's room is an admirable reflection of his far ranging talent and wonderful sense of both the humorous and the macabre.

[Sketchism71]

Excellent additions Oriane! Fantastic artists on two different spectrum's of Awesome! Well done!

[RobertSWade]

Beautiful job KJ on a well deserved room for our Amy. I seem to recall that she's been having computer problems but hopefully will rejoin us soon.

[Lima]

Coops, my friend, Art Nuovo's gallery is gorgeous. Very very nice indeed. Congratulations:)

[byroncallas]

Just catching up with the world's best thread, the additions of Whaheed, Scott's (SCP), WantToPaint's and ArtNuovo's galleries are excellent contributions. Terrific work all, each honoring terrific artists. :)

[coops]

I found this gallery at the top of MOARA, I hope you all enjoy it.
There are so many avatars that it has taken me quite some time to finish this one and I am so sorry if I have missed anyone out, we could of course say that the omitted ones are behind the blue doors at the other side;).
Anyway I hope you all enjoy looking at all the wonderful avatars of so many wonderful people and that it gives those who haven't yet got a gallery a little place in MOARA.:)

[Lima]

Coops, wow:eek:. This is so gourgeous. A winner gallery showing the artists avatars. Wow againg very nice and very well done my friend. Great and Great:eek::);):D:cool::eek:

[RobertSWade]

LOL Sketch.

[coops]

HMMMMMMMMMMMM Sketch now open your eyes lol:)

[sabena]

hi coops Great idea :D Fantastic gallery :rolleyes:

[byroncallas]

The Avatars are GREAT Katie. Wonderful idea. Perfect for the Moara.


I love the avatars. Finding mine was like playing "Where's Waldo". :D:D:D

[D Akey]

Ms Coops!!! You've outdone yourself. What a lovely room indeed. Your heartfelt efforts are a tribute to you. I am honored to be in such company.
:):):):):)

[Gray]

I feel famous! I've been watching this thread with avid interest, due to the sheer thought behind each and every image. A compilation of compilations of beautiful art is almost too much for the mind to comprehend; Thanks for including me in this, even though I've only been part of this community for a few weeks. This thread really speaks of the creative camaraderie and brotherhood of the artists here. You find none of the prideful spite that many orchestral musicians exhibit towards one another, only artists who truly love their subject helping each other become the best they can be. It's a beautiful thing, and I'm honored to be a part of it.

Thanks for taking the time to pull this piece together, It's so multifaceted it makes the mind spin with wonder.

[Jim Walsh]

coops, another great one. :):):):)

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
I first viewed your Art Rage artist member's gallery yesterday and I
could not initially respond due to being overwhelmed with the sheer
overpowering magnitude of this piece. How you managed to put
this complex wonder together is an amazing feat on it's own and the
personal love and attention is admirably evident. What a beautiful
tribute to all of our talented artists. Absolutely wonderful and a
sincere thank you for your gracious effort. :)

P.S.
g.z.,
That tousled hair style is "in" ... you look maaaaarvelous and can we
have your autograph? :)

[mannafig]

wow coops this is amazing you out do yourself each time you do a new piece I love it.:):)

[coops]

I am so pleased that you all liked the Avatar Gallery. If you know of anyone that I have missed please just PM me and I will keep updating it. You are all such a wonderful bunch of people and again many thanks to Oriane for having such a wonderful idea as MOARA.:)

[coops]

Now Speggie, you did cause me problems. How to choose which paintings to put into your gallery as everyone of your great art works should be included. I hope that I have done at least some of them justice.
To Speggie a marvelous artist.:)

[screenpainter]

Ah Katie this is an absolutely mind-blowing tribute to an amazing artist! Fantastic! :)

[sandyg]

Good job on the Avatar's Gallery and I'm glad you did Speggie's Gallery I think his work is great, all cleverly done Coops.

[Lima]

Hey, Coops amazing work again. Speggie's Gallery is beautiful and a nice tribute to a great artist. Congratulations.

Katie, the presence of Puddy and Weemb in the balcony of MOARA is just so fantastic:eek::eek::eek:

[RobertSWade]

Ah, the Speggmeister. Cool beans KJ. :)

[sabena]

:D:D:D hi coops great work you are a great artist

[coops]

Hi Oriane, I thought it would be nice to put them there as I am sure we all miss Weeb and of course PUDDY and wish them both a swift, safe and healthy return to us.
Sabena, I am not the artist just a person who put a few things together. The artists are the wonderful, kind and caring people in these forums. Long live MOARA lol.:)

[fraser_paice]

Well done matey!!!

[Rob in Denver]

This thread is so mindblowing--to all you have worked so selflessly on it--a huge round of Applause!

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
Viewing this thread is like having dessert .... over and over again.
Speggie's Gallery is fantastic. :)

[byroncallas]

Dear Katie, an outstanding tribute to one of the most original and talented artists amongst us. I'm an out-and-out, no-holds-barred fan of this man's work. You've done him justice. It was a special treat to his extraordinary creations so well displayed, so beautifully assembled.

And a nice touch with Weemb/Puddy, sending both good vibrations towards a soon and healthy return to our little community.

Really great job. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

[coops]

A tribute to our Jewel of India Shirly. A lovely, gentle lady and a very accomplished artist who I hope we will see again very soon.

[screenpainter]

That's really beautiful Coops. And a well deserved tribute to our friend from New Delhi. :)

[Alexandra]

Beautiful work!

[RobertSWade]

A beautiful display of Reema's talents. Very tasty KJ. :)

[Jim Walsh]

Coops, that's very nice. I'm sure she'll love it.

[RobertSWade]

I am happy to present for you the long overdue and very partial gallery of one of our most prolific and respected contributors, Jacktar51. I can only hope that I have at least done partial justice to his wide range of styles. Thank you Jack for being such a wonderful contributor and commentator.

[RobertSWade]

In North West England, in a seedy section of a seedy town, there is a pub known to the locals as Jack Tarr's, which is not the kind of place for the faint of heart.
***
With its redolent aroma of alcohol and blood, it's a place where every meaning of "spirits" comes into play ... a place where the laws of tme-space are bent to serve a nexus ... a nexus where lines of beauty and intrigue, sublime and macabre, are forced together into a dance that is, at once, beautiful and frightening.
***
No one can remember a time when it wasn't there, and no one can remember a time when anyone who went in, came back out with their mind still fully intact. But all who do return tell a story of transcendant beauty ... and transcendant terror.
***
The proprietor, it is said, is a genial fellow who divides his tme between tending to his horse, workng on his car, and painting on the walls of his establishment in a sometimes feverish manner.

[coops]

Great gallery and great story too Robert. Jack's paintings are always a joy to see and you have done his paintings proud. Is the story about our Jack too hehehehe;). Congratulations Jack, a gallery well deserved, I enjoy your paintings so much.:)

[sabena]

Coops and Robert are to be congratulated, you created two masterpieces (gallery of Shirly and Jactard :D :D :D

[jacktar51]

Thanks Robert..Its an Honour to be included with all these great artists,what an amazing thread this is,I must admit to not having paid attention before now,great idea ,thanks for putting it together to everyone that has been involved, with it,and of course Bob for including me.....Jack.

[RobertSWade]

You're welcome Jack. It was my pleasure. :)

[sandyg]

Well done Coops for Shirly (Reema's ) Gallery, you've displayed her works beautifully and Robert You've done Jacks works, enjoyed the story also.

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
You could not have chosen a more appropriate setting than the
Tash Mahal for Shirly's wonderful gallery. Absolutely beautiful! :)

Robert,
You have so elequently pulled me in (willingly or not!) to the ambience
of Jack Tarrs pub. I could not help but imagine the heavy flavor of sultry
expectation ... never knowing how the night would end in this salty place
where only the hardiest of mates would dare raise a tankard and expect
the night to end with a smile and a toast to smooth sailing ahead. You
have well presented jacktar's moody but delicious delights in gallery form
that dares to tantalize our love of mystery and intrigue as we acknowledge
in appreciation and admiration, his undenyable artistry. Yarrrr and well
done! :)

[Lima]

Coops a beautiful gallery for Reema's beautiful paintings. :eek::eek:

Robert, Jactar's gallery is fantastic. Jac paintings on the walls of his establishment are perfectly fit:eek:. Congratulations:eek:

[screenpainter]

Robert, Jacks gallery is a wonderful tribute to a great artist and longtime contributor. Great to see it. just beautiful.

[coops]

Gives me great delight after seeing Oriane's film of JB to post JB's gallery.Such wonderful portraits and paintings he well deserves a gallery. Hope you enjoy it JB:)

[Lima]

Fantastic, fantastic Coops. A great tribute do JB:eek:

[coops]

Dear Oriane, so was your movie clip, oh how I did enjoy it. :)

[mannafig]

another stunning work of art for another brilliant artist:):)

[Belvrog]

Hi coops that gallery looks fantastic, the one's of Shirly and Speggie are great too. So much to explore there. Some fine tributes. :)

Hi Robert, really like it, that's great work on Jacktars gallery, it draws you in.

[jbyrjbyr1]

Oh my, Coops...you're going to get me all misty here. I am truly honored and humbled to find myself in such rarified company as those already in the prestigious MOARA. The words "thank you" feel insufficient but will have to do. :)

By the way...don't tell anyone, but your touching gallery certainly makes me look more talented than I am. It'll be our secret though........shhhhhhh. :D

jb

[RobertSWade]

Congratulations JB and Coops on a MOARA entry both well deserved and well accomplished. (Is that my koi pond?)
:)

[screenpainter]

wonderful job on JB's gallery Katie! It is quite amazing. A beautiful display of his terrific artwork!

[SCP]

Wonderful Galleries for me to catchup on,Coops your latest JB Gallery is amazing!:):):)

The poets of the MOARA. To be put in the walls of the great hall of entry of the museum.

[Alexandra]

Oh my goodness, I don't know where to start-if you don't check this post everyday-you miss so much! Coops, Robert, Oriane, and everyone that has contributed-well done!

[RobertSWade]

Thank you Oriane. Wonderful selection for the image. Ah, my "Little Boat". :)

[byroncallas]

Gzairborne... I am unable to find the correct words to explain how I felt when I saw this today! What a gift this is in so many ways. THANK YOU!

I need to add that the past 8 months involvement with ArtRage (the software) along with the people in this incredible one-of-a-kind forum has resurrected a part of me I thought was lost long ago. I paint now almost daily which has filled a void in my life that I have had for a very long time. My art books have been pulled out of dusty boxes and I am once again noticing those special little things in life like how sunlight at different times of the day can completely change the appearance of an object. How dynamic and beautiful nature is. And because of this forum, I see and appreciate a whole world of art I was nearly blind to before.

Thank you oriane for a wonderul idea of a thread, thank you again gzairborne for presenting such a wonderful gallery! I am humbled! I must say, ArtRage has been the best $25 dollars I have ever spent... Priceless!


Sketch, I just saw this today - it is a beautiful piece of writing and self-expression. I am going to print it out and paste it on my mirror as a regular reminder to always look around and appreciate the beauty that is always right there right now before our eyes. :)

[byroncallas]

The poets of the MOARA. To be put in the walls of the great hall of entry of the museum.

Beautiful; moving all. It could not be more fitting than to bring the beauty of these words and spirits that created them into these walls. Inspired.:)

[coops]

Oriane, these are wonderful moving poems and all three look as if they should be in a book. They are wonderful and thanks to Mr Akey, Robert and Mary for their brilliantly moving words.

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
You have well and deservingly so, captured jbyrjbyr1's wonderful
creations. A glorious gallery and tribute to one of our most talented
artists. :)

[D Akey]

Orianelima, thank you for putting this up. It's a nice counterpoint to all the wonderful art. I'm most appreciative and flattered that you would include those who choose to brush out words as another means to connect.

Robert, as always, you show that you are a man navigating waters of great depth. I read your words over that mood evoking painting of yours, and your voice speaks of the journey of the artist with resonance. I can even fancy two boats in the middle of the ocean pulled up alongside for an exchange. May your navigational devices continue at such an accurate level, my friend.

Mair, I really love that painting. It's so mysterious and alluring -- in the extreme. It's as if I'm looking at the Muse who doles out only a small hint of her creative dazzle as a kindness, both as a boon, and as a protection against the mere mortal reaction of spontaneously combusting. If the eyes are the windows of the Soul, then this picture plumbs the Soul indeed.

The poem is so heartfelt and lyrical. I'm touched reading it. And yes, Art can be looked at as a lifelong companion, a lover, a guide, a friend. And fortunately, we, all of us share that capacity as well.

I love this site to a large extent because of all the people who come to share what is theirs with whomever and to picture their friends in new ways, with new appreciation. Coops, and GZ, and all the participants -- The generosity of such as you lightens my heart.


:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) :):):):):):)

[coops]

Dear Mr Akey, I echo everythng that you have said. The people in here are like no other people. They are so friendly, giving and just pure wonderful folks. I am so proud to be one of their friends:)

[RobertSWade]

Thank you Professor Akey. :)

[D Akey]

Beautiful; moving all. It could not be more fitting than to bring the beauty of these words and spirits that created them into these walls. Inspired.:)

Well said Byron. The Art Spirit in you radiates out in a lavish array of colors. Your Art and Words reveal your nature, which leads me to see your posts as offering a look at the myriad, vital points of contact available to us. Your efforts consistently hold out your hand with all the possibilities connoted by that gesture.

Thank you.

[Mairzie Dotes]

The poets of the MOARA. To be put in the walls of the great hall of entry of the museum.


orianelima,
A sincere thank you for including my poem, "A Love Story." Using one
of my previous paintings as the background is an unexpected surprise
and exemplifies the personal attention that you create with your artistry. :)

RobertSWade's "Sextant" takes the reader on a journey of the heart.
It reads as if it could also be a prayer or a guiding light that comforts.
The seascape background that you included is a most beautiful and
appropriate scene to present such a sincere reading. Robert's poem
touches my very soul and what else could we expect from such a
notable Captain! :)

and ...

D Akey's insightful poem, "Once Again and Again" is a wonderful lyric
that describes all that is grand about this forum, a beautiful composition
of words that reads like a song ... a melody of words that expresses love
and appreciation. No wonder our resident professor is also often referred
to as "bard." This impressive poem shines as brightly as the rising sun
that glitters and sparkles in the background. :)

[sandyg]

I'm posting to put the Gallery back to the top, thank you Coops for doing JB's gallery and Oriane for putting up the wonderful poems by the talented D Akey, Robert Wade and Mary Ann.

[RobertSWade]

30 pages, over 13,000 visits, nearly 600 comments ... there has never been a thread like this.

[coops]

And lets hope it goes on and on Robert. Its a wonderful thread.:)

[coops]

Keeping MOARA thread going with Enchanter's gallery. His portraits are awesome as are all his paintings. A well deserved gallery.:)

[Sketchism71]

Sketch, I just saw this today - it is a beautiful piece of writing and self-expression. I am going to print it out and paste it on my mirror as a regular reminder to always look around and appreciate the beauty that is always right there right now before our eyes. :)

...and I just noticed you wrote this!:) Thank you Byron!;)

[Sketchism71]

Great tributes Oriane to those gifted poets of ArtRage! They paint with words more vivid than pictures. Truly gifted and talented!

[sabena]

Wonderful :D:D:D Coops

Amazing work going on in here there are so many talented people on this forum I am thrilled to be a part of it keep 'em coming this thread is awesome:):):):):):):):):)

[Mairzie Dotes]

A gracious note of appreciation to byroncallas, coops, D Akey,
sandyg and Sketchism71. Am happy to know that you thought
well of my poem, "A Love Story" ... a personal expression of
acknowledgement for the boundless talent that is evident in
orianalima's amazing thread of creative tribute and this oh so
special forum, Art Rage. Where else but here could we travel
to the stars and back ... and on the way stop to have tea and
cordial conversation with the sun and the moon! :)

[silvy]

I am speechless ... this tread is increasingly filled with beauty and sorry but I must only say in my language:
MERAVIGLIOSO:):):)

I'm totally overwhelmed by this gesture and I was also most pleased to read the wonderful comments others have made on my pictures. Thank you again dear friend, I think its brilliant how you put together these galleries."

Dear Oriane, Coops, Want2 and the other Artists that made MOARA Gallery's in this thread, so selfish of me to just observe and marvel at and then not comment on what a wonderful place this is, of all the threads that have been born here in ArtRage this is the most wonderful endeaver, since the title MOARA has been applied, methinks there should be an Oscar type award for great contributions to the ArtRage community, the award would be called __________________ ? and the first one goes to the artists that created the Gallery's of MOARA!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! APPLAUSE !!!!!! WOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xox :)

[Hally]

Hi :)

Because the thread is so very long... I'm not really sure I understand completely what MOARA is :confused:

But I do know that I find these Gallery pictures mesmerising :eek:
Congratulations! - Well Done! - Bravo! ... To ... Oraine - Want2paint - Coops ... And anyone else that works on these Fantastic Paintings ;)

I'm not quite sure what else to say ( Lost For Words! ) :o
Only...
I've never seen anything so amazing as these Gallery Pictures :cool:

Brilliant!

[screenpainter]

Fantastic work Kate and a great tribute to a great art rage artist!

[Lima]

Coops very nice tribute to Altimaitre.

Hally, MOARA means Museum of Artrageous Art. This name was coined by Byron Callas to designate this thread.

The finality of the museum is to present a synthesis of works of art of the best artists of the digital painting world.

The following artists contributed, up to now, posting galleries in the MOARA: COOPS, GZAIRBORNE, JOHN BLACKFORD, ROBERT WADE, SABENA, WANT2PAINT.

Any one can post galleries here as a tribute to other artists. So you can call it "MOARA, always open". The actual name of the thread was a suggestion made by Robert Wade that a like very much:
"MOARA - An Open Appreciation of Talent"

Lee your comment is so nice.

[sandyg]

Thank you Coops for the addition of Radar and Altimaitre's Galleries and want2paint your tribute to Coops Gallery is lovely.

[pai]

Dear Orianelima, this is very creative and meaningful thread for all Artragers. I felt honored to be in here. Just so beautifully and artistry done from everyone. Every gallery is so unique. Thank you so much. :)

[coops]

Hi Pai, its so good to see you posting, we have missed you and your wonderful paintings. More Pai more pleaseeeeeee:)

[mannafig]

Another great gallery well done Coops and everyone else who make these they are great:):)

[irishrose]

Katie, AWESOME!!!!! Where do you get the little backgrounds for the galleries? They ROCK, and this one is PERFECT for the content. You have a great eye (like Oriane) for how this is done... sabena too.. you guys are hard core high tech! I love it, I know the author will too!

[irishrose]

And welcome back PAI!!!!! I missed you, Girl. You still hanging in outer space? Hey, if you need someone to talk to, you can always call on me. xoxo

ArtRage Vernissage - Brilliant artists - Curators the Rage's


For a while I posted galleries displaying the master pieces of great ArtRage artists. I will include 4 more room's to MOARA and then I strongly encourage young artists to add “self galleries” ,i.e. post a gallery displaying your own paintings or create tribute rooms to any of your favorite ArtRage artists. This is a nice space for you to do that.
:)
Looks very good, cool stuff, funny and interesting.

[AmontilladoAg]

What wonderful artistry to behold in orianelima's MOARA. :)

Very Much Appreciated!

And... I Think MOARA Is - Fantastic! :D

[Lima]

Pai it is so nice of you. You are a great artist and we all love you very much.

I'm posting Jules and Wenkat galleries.:) Great artists and good friends.

[screenpainter]

Very beautiful Oriane. Wonderful warm hearted additions to the museum. :)

[Lee]

A Thank You:)

[coops]

Oriane, your new galleries are beautiful so much to look at and enjoy. Well deserved galleries for Jules and Wenkat whos painting I always enjoy.
Hey Lee that lovely:)

[sandyg]

More additions added, great work Oriane you've displayed Jules and wenkat's art beautifully.

[wenkat]

I'm really indebted to you and all other AR mates for the big encouragement to get me a space here! Really I'm very happy and flying in the air.............
A BIG THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to you all!:)

[Mairzie Dotes]

orianelima,
You have presented Jules and Wenkat's gallery in deserving, regal style
that sings of color and creative design. This thread confirms the
information hinting that you might eat jelly beans for breakfast and juice
of rainbow for a chaser .... both semi exotic food items are reported to be
favored elixirs of an accomplished artist. :)

[RobertSWade]

Such wonderful new additions ... and an award from Lee. Does it get any better??? :)

[coops]

Again it gives me great pleasure to post another gallery into this wonderful thread. StephenLoPiano's work is wonderful, I hope he will enjoy his gallery in MOARA.

[RobertSWade]

KJ,
I think you have outdone yourself here. A dynamic and gorgeous presentation of one of ArtRage's most creative and imaginative contributors.

[coops]

Thanks Robert, I have to say I really enjoyed doing this one although I enjoy doing them all. Its just so great to see the paintings that people have done over time and to see the ones that you maybe have missed. There are so many wonderful artists in this forum. Great isnt it:)

[Lee]

Dear Robert and Coops, Coops, you have taken on this Thread in such a professional way, i imagine you doing the same thing at the place where you work, good job!!! Robert, wanted to say "Thank You" in some little way as this MOARA Gallery is so fantastic and pleasing and generous by the other Artists that help Orian continue it,,,, :)

ps, not to mention, but sure is soooooo nice to see some of the 'Senior' art in one place, seeing StephenLoPiano's paintings again! always loved his work, the MOARA Gallery seems to add a greater impression and impact and appreciation to the all the Collections, sure do remember his Family portrait as if it were yesterday, and his flowing style,,,,Thank You!:)

[Hally]

Oh My! ... :eek:
I'd be well chuffed if I was - StephenLoPiano's
Coz his Gallery is 100% Amazing Coops ;)
Brilliant!

[Sketchism71]

Wow. I have not commented on this thread for a while but I do see all the updates. All I can say is WOW to everyone! Just fantastic!:D

[sabena]

:DHi Coops

Your Gallery is amazing

[Lima]

Lee, I always love your comments.

Dear Coops very very nice and beautiful. Congratulations.

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
StephenLoPiano's gallery is bright, energetic and well presented ...
a fitting tribute to one of our accomplished artists. :)

[Lee]

Dear Oriane,:):):)

[sandyg]

StephenLoPiano's gallery looks superb Coops, a lovely additition to the MOARA, well done.

[mannafig]

Another visually stunning gallery brilliant work:):)

[Chibi J]

Aww Coops I just spotted a chibi CHIBI J in the Avatar gallery thankyou

[cathyd]

Hi Oriane, I see you are still creating those wonderful works of art! Today is my first day back to AR after a long...time. : ) Haven't don't any artwork lately though. Maybe soon. Lots of new artists on AR! So glad to see it and that you are encouraging. ttyl, Cathy

[screenpainter]

Fantastic gallery for Stephen... Ms. Cooper. It is amazing and a great tribute to Stephen. Beautifully done.

[Lima]

Hey Cathy great to hear from you. Very nice.

[Lima]

This post is a tribute to the bright inteligency of the authors of this great program and to the persons behind the scene in ambient design.

[coops]

These are wonderful dear Oriane and well deserved. Where would we be without these super people, I know that I wouldnt be constantly painting as I would have run out of canvas by now. Thanks so much you great Artrage team and thanks Oriane for showing them how much Artrage means to us all.:)

[screenpainter]

Oriane, what a great idea. A tribute to the team. Very cool.

[RobertSWade]

Hoorays and huzzahs are always in order for the Rage Brothers. (Does anyone actually say "Huzzah" anymore or does that make me seem 200 years old? Which I'm not going to affirm or deny.)

[byroncallas]

I'm behind, but lots of great posts since my last visit.

Oriane, terrifically thoughtful to tip our hats to the guys and gals at Ambient Design whose efforts are behind all of us showing up. Without them there would be no ArtRage and no MOARA, and none of us would have ever met each other. It's sometimes hard to understand how all these things come together. But I for one will take a few moments to reflect and be thankful for all the efforts that somehow coalesced to make it possible that we have all come to know each other and become friends. So thanks Ambient Team not just for an outstanding piece of digital art software, but also for creating an environment that contributes to the quality of my life through my participation with such an outstanding, engaged, talented and warm group of people. :)

Meanwhile, Robert, I just presumed from your language that you are 200 years old? It is true, right? :D:D:D

[wenkat]

Simply stupendous! I admire your enthusiasm blended with innovative artistic ability!:)

[Alexandra]

Wonderful Oriane! A great team of designers, and a forum well managed. They deserve big hugs and thank you's.:D

[Reniklaf]

I have already thanked Oriane for this wonderful gallery of my work, I now thank him again and all the members who have said such great things about my paintings. I am truly overwhelmed! :):):)

[Mairzie Dotes]

RobertSWade ... aka: just an ageless kid at heart,
May I also affirm a "Huzzah" (even though I will have to Google search the meaning.)
in agreement and appreciation of our most admired and respected Rage brothers ....
this magnificent forum ... orianelima's wondrous thread and the undisputed talent of
our artist members. Not three but "countless" cheers to all who contribute in making
this fantastic program a Rage -ing success! :)

[coops]

It give me great pleasure to post 2 more galleries.
Tinzo's art is astounding. I found it very difficult when I had gathered all his work together to decide which ones to put in so I put as many of his wonderful paintings as I could in. This artist is an inspiration to us all.
Cedric's work made me smile all the way through making his gallery and again choosing was so difficult so lots and lots went in. His art is so amusing and excellent.
I hope you like the wonderful works of Tinzo and Cedric.:)

[coops]

Cedric's Gallery

[byroncallas]

Katie, the two new galleries are overwhelmingly well done and wonderful tributes to these fine artists. It seems as you, Albert, and Oriane continue to experiment with these tributes they just get richer, richer, and richer. These two are really beautiful. :)

[Lima]

Wow, Coops. Great and fine display of 2 brilliant artists. Very very nice.

[screenpainter]

wow, Katie, beautiful galleries. I am sure Brian would be proud to see his work displayed so finely and I know Cedric will be pleased also. Two very fine galleries honoring two very fine artists. Just amazing!!!

[RobertSWade]

Two more fascinating and finely crafted galleries KJ. Tinzo's is almost reverental while Cedrics is wonderfully playful. Not only did you pick wonderful images but also presented both of their works in befitting manners. You rock Kiddo. :)

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
You have, with artistry, warmth and affection ... given us this unique
opportunity to admire and acknowledge the unbounded talents of Tinzo
and Cedric in gallery format. Beautiful presentation! :)

[Caesar]

Dear Katie, Your contributions to this unique thread is fantastic as for quality and a perceivable deep sense of gratitude to the exhibiting masters we all share.
I wish also to take the opportunity to express how much I miss Tinzo attendance here (I had the luck when his presence in the Forum was frequent and he shared with us his absolute masterpieces he painted with previous version of this software as well as advices, encouraging words and a couple of superb tutorials).

[Khalid_ipda]

Dear Oriane, you are very creative and you ARE work hard. You can involve all members here in 'MOARA'. Many time I look this large galleries, very beautiful, very unique include one of the gallery is mine that you created for me. thank you very much. GREAT WORK, MY FRIEND. YOU CAN MOTIVATE ALL MEMBERS HERE. THANKS.

Thanks everyone and especially to Coops for having done this! I come in here every now and then to see everyone's works, but I never really thought about finding mine here, lol. I'd forgotten how many different images I've done. As you can see, I'm not one to stick to any single type of style, lol. I haven't done an actual "series" since my college days.

Thanks again :D

[ScottF]

Coops, you´ve done a great job with this one! And congrats to Someonesane!

[sandyg]

Great additions to the MOARA, well done Coops.

[RobertSWade]

A fantastic display of SomeoneSane's wide ranging styles, approaches, and subjects.
