This is so beautiful. Your abilities continue to grow. Thank you for sharing this with us.
My favorite of the paintings is the Ugly Duckling. The reeds on the right and left give the feeling that we're witnessing a private family moment. It's very intimate.
And I've subscribed to your sister on YouTube Music. What a gorgeous voice. Thank you for sharing her with us.
The Ugly Duckling one is secretly my favourite, too. The reeds were the finishing touch where I finally felt like the little painting 'came together', I'm delighted you picked up on a related feeling.
My sister will be so pleased! Her latest piece of music comes out at midnight tonight. :)
Wow, this is amazing! Congratulations on finishing; it really looks fantastic and I'm excited that it was a positive enough experience that you want to try out more of them. The amount of detail in each painting is really impressive.
Thankyou! It's one of those things where I'm forcing myself to keep up momentum...and so far, it's working. 😋I've started the next one tonight, sketching out another Hans Christian Andersen scene (The Red Shoes 👠).
Thanks James. Glad to hear my art can bring a spark of gladness to you.
There are quite a growing number of artists doing fore edge paintings (no gilding, which equals no vanishing effect, but still amazing artwork!).
However, Martin Frost in Britain is the only artist registered worldwide who does the "vanishing"/hidden paintings professionally for a commercial living. I believe a handful of other artists do take commissions as a side hustle. You can find a few on Etsy as well: GinaHawesPaintedBook, BriMarieSells, ShylockedHerShop, JoyfullyTessaStudios. There is a small community on Reddit, too.
So cool!!
Thank you! :D

These look incredible! That’s a lot of work but clearly it paid off. I really enjoy being able to see these.
Is anyone out there doing them on some kind of commercial level anymore?
