I love the heart of gold. the girls look ready to deliver it to a man with a heart as big as this one. Mark is a true friend, a kind man who is quick with a kind word and a joke to lighten the mood. I hope he's doing better, he deserves good health and happiness.... feel better, Mark, I hope you can get back to doing what you love to do, soon. you mean a lot to me and many other people here, too. ((hugs))

Mark is special and we are blessed to have him! Mark is an anchor to our art. Mark has studied and knows art, Mark is an amazing writer, and Mark is here to help us! Thank you, Rod! Thank you, Mark! Get well my friend!

I couldn't have said better Rod...Mark is special man and he makes this place classier by just being part of this site. He is a man gifted with many artistic talents! The words and comments that he leaves behind, are like gold dust sprinkled upon the art of the many artists on this site. Mark has my sincere best wishes for good health to come his way. Having the girls present him with this heart of gold, just makes it that much better Rod! Get well soon buddy! :-)

Excellent tribute, my friend!!!! I don't know Mark but he certainly sounds like a great person. So Mark, I wish for you nothing but the best. Take care and get back to good health soon !!!

Beautiful looking ladies and outfits. Yep, maybe you should not have mentioned sending the girls over to make sure he takes his meds. I would like these ladies to take care of me. I hope Mark gets to feeling well soon!

A very special tribute to a very special artist and support person! He has always been generous with his very helpful hints on how to improve your art and lets you see your work through his eyes which is a great gift in itself! I hope he gets better soon as well and gets back in the groove here! Prayers directed his way from here!

What a great tribute to a wonderful friend!

Thank you for this lovely tribute to Mark! He is the absolute best of the best...I've known him for many years and miss him here...his loving heart is huge...Mark, I think of you daily with a prayer from the heart, I've been terribly worried about you...I won't write email to you because I know you would feel obligated to reply...I want you to be well, rest and recover quickly...as you can see here you are very loved and greatly missed...

sorry, I forgot to say the image is wonderful...great details and very fun!

Excellent and heart-felt work! Great creative work!

A fabulous tribute that says a lot about you as well as Mark!

This is going to be a very hot ride.😊 I love those glamorous bombshells, they will easily make Mark heart's melt.😊💖🥰 Outstanding gorgeous composition, superb dedication, brilliant awesome render. Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it! Get well Mark and get back to work a.s.a.p.😊💖🥰

wow Rod, I just saw this...thank you so much---this is wonderful and beautiful! I'm very touched. Thank you so much for this wonderful upload! I love that huge gold heart, and your three heros (heroines) holding and riding it: It's out of a broadway production...and you placed them it in some big mall, an outdoor production. You're always first rate with your costumes and poses and compositions---when I start commenting again you'll hear that over and over, but it's a big sunny beautiful display, and thank you so much for your thoughts and feelings, I"m very grateful. And thank you to the people above, too, I'm very moved by what everyone said---thanks to all! Thanks so much Rod, your kindness here never wanes. Take care and I hope your many preparations are soon over and you and Jo will be able to make the big move you've so prepared for. Thanks again, this is wonderful.

(My virus left a week ago, but man, it left me a wet rag. And feeling old. Body pains? Don't ask. I'm gonna go to my rocking chair, now, and reminisce about the civil war...suddenly I feel like I'm 200 years old. The virus left about 5 days ago, btw, and didn't leave note, not a mint, nothin'...no "come by anytime you're in town"...the little s---ts...they eat you outa house and home, invite over friends, have huge shindigs in your living room---and then leave...don't ask...but thank you once more, Rod, I'm very appreciative!)

OMG..... That last paragraph had me in tears...... 🤣 "didn't leave note, not a mint, nothin'..." Yeah, those &^%$# virus buggers are ungrateful little bas---ds, aren't they...

Mark, you are more than welcome, buddy! You're the best! And you can see how much you are loved and missed here. I might just have to send the Girls over to fix you up with a nice hot casserole dish filled with lasagna or chicken fettuccine.. Ar is quite the gourmet chef when she's not out kicking bad-guy buttocks - or so I've heard! LOL

I've been out of the loop for several month, so I had no idea that Mark has been ill. So sorry to learn of Mark's poor health.

This is a wonderful dedi for Mark who is an exemplary individual with his kindness, intelligence and humor. I sincerely hope he recuperates very soon.

a great tribute to the most kindest person i have ever known. he doe have a heart of gold and sure miss his presence here. but Mark will be back soon with more of his awesome writings and manipulated images. heart of gold by: Neil Young. a sweet golden heart and the gals look marvelous my friend. i thank the lord above for his kindness.

Simply gorgeous friend of mine and a fantastic tribute to Mark 👍🙋‍♂️

Such a heartfelt tribute Rod. So glad Mark was well enough to respond although these new viruses have an agenda all of their own! Here's hoping he's back on track very soon! Lovely work Sir!

I echo the sentiment 1000%. He is an amazing person, and always ready with a kind word.

Good Stuff Rod

A wonderful dedication! Cuties!

Very Cool!!!!
AND it worked!!! Mark is getting better!!
I have missed his comments, incites and artwork!

This new graphic, looks as always very nice! I am very sorry for the copy/paste comments, but otherwise I can not manage them all and because of my spine I have no other choice. I wish you a good new week and stay safe and cheerful, because something happened so fast.

Fantastic dedication for our dear Mark, i'm very glad to see that he's moving again!

Great!
