It’s an eclipse. The sky comes to life again and brings so much joy. This is a piece that you could watch and never see the same thing twice. Well done.
Thank you 🤩
It makes me think of the Bethlehem star. It’s stunning!! And I’m so glad that you hung it up long ways. Looking forward to the next one. ✌️💜😃
Thank you so much Kendra!! Love your interpretation 👍🏻😊
I agree
A starburst of hope. That is very deep. Its gorgeous! I love it.
Glad you like it! Thank you 🤩
Creation of the Universe 💥✨⭐
Thank you 🙏
This makes me think of a birth of something new like a new star was born. Its so soothing to hear you explain everything and how you feel while doing these pieces. Love this one!!
Thank you 🙏
Or the death of a star where is being sucked into a black hole
My sentiments also!❤
Buenasz que tipo de pintura usas, y quiero saber si le pasa varnish al terminar tu trabajo para protección, gracias por compartir tu hermoso arte.
I completely agree. Very soothing.
Simply stunning, Mark! Really reminds me of a sunburst! A Prussian Blue background would be great.
That would be cool! I love Prussian Blue! Thank you 😊
I would love that on my wall. Feels like I'm looking into a new life .
Thank you 🤩
This is a stunning piece! You have helped me to realize that I can slow down my process instead of almost rushing my work. I love painting, but since I have started taking more time, I am finding a new level of enjoyment through the process. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge.
You are so welcome! And wow that’s amazing for me to hear so thank you so much 😊
Good
رائع
Mark, I absolutely adore this piece! It took my breath away seeing all the colors blended so beautifully and what I see in your painting is a gorgeous sunrise or that twilight time right before you wake up. I can’t wait to try this technique myself. But when I do, I will certainly show it to you. I want to make you proud Mark! :-) You have taught me so much in techniques, but most importantly, and how I approach my art. When I first started following you, you would always remind us of being mindful and in the moment when we are creating art. That has stuck with me for over a year now, and I thank you for your kindness, your mindfulness, your extraordinary abilities as an artist, and in the end, you seem like such a great person!!! Thank you for teaching me and making me a better artist. 💜👏👏👏
Wow!!! Susan….. thank you so much!!! This comment is everything to me. Your kind words of encouragement and support mean a lot. Thank you so so much. You’ve made my day 😊😊😊😊
@@MarkJRatcliffeArtyou are so good at explaining things…stunning piece… what metallics did you use?
@@judyhyland682 thank you so much Judy. Check out the video description as I always list my colors in there 👍🏻
Journey to the 5th Dimension
If you are looking up close at just the middle I still get gerbera daisy, but when you pull back and look at the whole canvas I get either Star Trek wormhole or a hole in a piece of glass. I love it
Ohhhh interesting- thank you so much. I wonder what would be through that hole if we could travel through it?! 😊
The eye of Sauron...?
Just beautiful. Cool swipe!
Thanks so much!
Infinity. That's what I see--the endless expansion of the universe. Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you 😊
This is just as stunning as your first one, Mark! 😍😍😍To me, it's an incredibly amazing cosmic piece. I really love it, well done!!! 😃❤️🐨🙋♀️🚀🛸
Thank you very much Sue 💫💫💫
My 95 year old Mother asked me what I was looking at. I told her an artist that I'm learning techniques from. She wanted to see!! After looking at your finished art piece, she committed that if it was on her wall, she would be wondering all the time what was in that black hole!!!!!!!! I told her it was an up close view of an eye ball. The black hole your looking in someone's Soul. Oh, Wow!! MOM EXCLAIMED!!
Wow that’s amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with me
Awesome answer I’m definitely doing one in blue for my house since we all have blue eyes. Update: watched video with my granddaughter (6 and on the spectrum) then read her this comment she then said “it’s so beautiful and You will be able to watch me at my house when we make one, this man is magical.” It’s so wonderful how the little things astonish people of ALL ages.
Wow
I just thought it was absolutely stunning, and I'm going to try it out. I was screaming at you to stop an not do that area but your final touches made all the difference an created amazing detail. An that's why you are the professional. ❤

The Eye of Sauron! Stunning! 👏
Thank you 😊
I wonder how cool it would be with more 🔥 fire colors too. I love this it so simple, beautiful and mysterious!!! 🙏❤☺️
That would be cool! Thank you 🙏
Your painting resonates with me on such a profound level. I see in it an inner eye that reflects the journey of emerging from the depths of darkness, much like I’ve experienced during my own struggles with burnout and negative thoughts. It’s a testament to the power of art to capture and convey emotions. Thank you for creating something so deeply moving and relatable. 🎨✨
Thank you so much for sharing your raw and real interpretation of this piece and what it means to you. I hope there is more light than dark in your life now. I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and feedback with me
all I can say is WOW!! this piece is stunning! my mind instantly went to exploding star at center of a black hole. please keep them coming in different color combo's.
Thank you so much Fran 🙏😊😊

I see Abstract Koi fishes all rapidly swimming into the middle of a(n horizon ♥️ ... especially with the black background accent it narrows that image into my perspective.
Thank you so much for sharing what you see 🙏😊
I subbed can't wait to see more!
I think a shot of heat gun woulda made it more dynamic. I like that wet and dry were shown, but I would’ve enjoyed seeing the final with the varnish, too.
Thank you so much 😊
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt You never know how a shot of heat will react, but it seems that it’s always worth a shot. ✌🏻🙂👍🏻
Very cool!! ❤ these are my favorite ones to do!! Im gonna have to try this one! Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
This one and the last one. Make me think of how my jewelry sparkles and of the north star as well. Very beautiful. Thank you and have a great day.
It also looks like peices of stars flying into your paintings. So I any things I see in this peice and your last peice. Just Beautiful
You are so welcome and thank you so much Toni for your kind words of support
What an amazing painting ❤️ To me, the black negative space represents the darker times in mental health and the colours in a circle good thoughts that are bursting out to represent the good time's in our mental health
Wow love this interpretation- thank you 😊

When I look at this painting, all I can see is an eye. Extremely simple technique, but most things that appear to be easy seldom are. This is beautiful work. Much respect 🙏 🫡.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your feedback 🤩
I think it's absolutely gorgeous! To new it looked like a close-up view of an eye... The iris! The center is the pupil! 👁️
"The window to the soul"

GORGEOUS!!!
Thank you 🤩
Your process resembles something organic in nature, an unfolding of sorts. From the darkness comes light. Something celestial perhaps.
Wow, thank you 🙏 I appreciate you sharing that
Energia jednoznacne.
I love this! It reminds me of a prism: 'A prism separates visible light into its different colors. As light passes through the prism, it slows and bends, but different wavelengths bend at different angles. This separates light into different wavelengths, forming a rainbow of colors'. It's kind of mesmerizing to me!
Thank you so much Kory 🤩🙏😊
I see the a new universe being created. I’m sure it’s even more breathtaking in person.
Thank you so much 😊
This really reminds me of looking into an eye, the pupil and iris. Very cool!!
Thank you so much 😊
I agree
It gives tbe effect that the painting is "looking" at me..like the inside or close up of someones eye...having a deeper look into life itself. Very beautiful, and a very unique piece
Love that interpretation- thank you 🤩
Very nice. At first I saw a sun,then a eye then a sunflowerish shape. But what it reminds me of is if you were lying on your back camping looking up in the nights sky with trees surrounding you with a camp fire reflection... pretty cool
Wow! I love your interpretation- thank you 😊
Looks like a Nova exploding, beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Oooo I love this, I bet it would look amazing in blue, teal, turquoise and greens
Oh great suggestion!!
its almost electrifying! 💜💓💜
Thank you 😊
