This looks pretty schweet!! I can almost hear the sound of rushing waters and cool breeze over the mountains. It was as though "the hills are alive..."

very nice piece, looks a lot like a van gogh. well done!

I love the water running away from the viewer - an unusual angle.

wow, most excellent... :o

wow... this is great... *stunned*
how did you do that???

I can't believe this wasn't showcased. it's so beautiful, magnificent, and and and... wow.

OMG!
I love elmo.

I agree with friend-
Elmo is BALLLIIINNN!!!!

yes, yes, congratulations!! He looks like he's
falling..XD.. really awesome job.

HAHAHAHAh how could I have missed this?!?!??!?!?!??

this is so awesome, i love you dude. i mean, the Elmo. You really captured his utmost cuteness. yeahhhh

this is wonderful, lovely drawing.

very pretty colors! It definitely has that mood where you feel quite at peace with yourself. it's like there's a sunset near the top right corner and you're looking at the ocean. lovely

thank you both!

I see a rose right smack dab in da middle there!!! hmmm.... wait a minute. more like a tulip. this is really neat!!!

Hi Donna!! Glad to see you still drawing and around.
You have done a million drawings here!!! Most of them interesting and creative I am sure.
I found another spot to draw that I enjoy.
Hope you are well, take care.

thank you buddies o mine! long time no talk to gerbear! (so cool I named you that!!) :o)
nice to 'see' you ole friend!!

QT...I'll find the draw where I sort of explain how I do this kind of thing. Basically, tho, it's the difference tool, blur, sharpen and other nifty toolz!

haha GREAT DRAW~!

another wowzer! cool perspective!

Love this one. That eye....wow!

Gosh, I had no idea this took 2nd place! That shows ya how long I've been away.....again =( Hard to draw when you've got a sick child needing you every waking, and sleeping, hour of the day! Course then we ended up taking him to the hospital where we spent all day yesterday watching the drip, drip, drip of the IV pumping fluids in! All is well now tho.....thanks for the 2nd place!! Whooo hooo!

oh no.... hope he will stay ok elly :?
but whoo hoo is right, 'cause this is a GREAT pic

OOOOhhh is that... cawamel?? 'cause i love it. especially the centerpiece. and if it's real, i'd definitely eat it.

very fun draw!! ooo a ooo a

wow, this is very cool....love the composition, the colors and the idea.

wow, peace love and drugs and rock-n-roll! totally mod! trippin' out man!, cool subject matter, elly! I secretly loved that era, would go back to that psychedelic times in a sec. lol.

I like this and I know I'll enjoy your art here. I like the left side of her the best...the face, her arm the way it shadows and looks 3-D. It appears to be an illustration in a book that is trying to become real. I like that effect.

HAY thanks! not the exact thing i was going for but yeah thanks ... lol

hmmm, is she holding a doll or something? i see two little feet under her folded arms... oh wait, nvm. I just read your description on v.6. It looks to me like she's stuffed the doll under her shirt... And I'm with Sweetcell on the comment about the left-side on her face, it's like there's somthing missing. Her look is pretty intense and hard. Maybe it would be better if her hair was hanging loosely closer to her face. I dunno. Looks a bit strange to me. But other than that, you did well on the realistic part of the rest of her.

dude, how could this not make it to the Showcase?? haven't seen one of these styles in a very, very long time! you did an excellent job, I knew instantly that it was Van Gogh. I like your take on this too because you didn't try to make it look exactly like it, and there's a blur in parts of it that makes it look softer compared to the orig. that has all the intricate details, which seem quite intense and sharp. But you still did great.

Thank you! Such a comment means a lot to me :)

Very nice Roytje! I too have this print in living room. Thought about recreating it, but man, so tedious.
