NICE!!!

Shults, I'm a little behind in answering your question but No! It was not too small to look awesome on the book cover!

I remember this.. and its still terrific

We need some happy little trees

Whoever made this is a Bob Ross

I love the scenery he's painting and you did a great job with his resemblance. Very nice art.

thanks guys :)

I think it's great... in an abstracty sort of way. It immediately made me think she has a fractured soul.... split personality... something.... Anyway, I like it.

thank you dBA, nice to see you after so long..hope to see more of you

Simply beautiful!

aw, axil, you just keep outdoing everyone and yourself! so lovely! Yummy!

So beautiful...your so very talented.

rofl no you weren't :) you were very helpful with all the comments you made ;)
I'm happy to be back! I'm really glad to see that oldies are still active!
and I'm glad that 2draw's community is kind of small. the internet is overwhelming :(

OOOOh, yummy, look so real! Great work Axel.yes, Axel is so good, he can teach any of us.those are absolutely delicious!

(My problem, I find, is that I am no longer the younger person who made all the very realistic or decorative work in my life. Apparently it no longer appeals to me, and also my hands can't do it anymore. Too much arthritis. But that just happens to some people with age, and definitely in my family.but also I'm not the same person, so my artwork isn't the same, and I can't do the same thing I used to do. Except for cartoons, is all., I found out that art isn't the only thing in life, and it doesn't do for me what it did, be such a great addiction.I did so much of it, I'm pretty much sapped out. I started in the first grade drawing in class, and I never quit.also, I don't feel like I have anything to prove to anybody except myself. Weird isn't it?I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or bad thing. Or neutral.) but I'm glad Axel is still going strong.

Oh these would be the perfect compliment followup to my chili breakfast! Slow cooked all night long...I'm a sucker for chocolate too. You were never an asshole to me Dan, and i appreciate it ^___^ Are u still dabbling in cake decorating?? Or maybe you've moved on to truffles? Beautiful work darlin'

Lovely and dreamlike feel to it!

very pretty...love the "blaze" orange palette

Thanks!

good for you Shell! I don't know if I could have done it if there were a bunch smoking around me

looks like something that could tear your lawnmower blades up ;), (but don't smoke if it happens!!!...seriously, tho... so happy for you if you did and keep it up, don't think i'll quit till I stop breathing)

I didnt think I would either.. 50 years.... but.. I did..

hey, Axel, very cute. I really like it and the color. Did you ever used to collect car models or truck models? I used to collect tiny little starship models.good job. It kind of reminds me of a little animal, getting ready to pounce. Hee hee.

he knows just when to stop. me also, tend to over do something, i heard long ago, the real ones know when to stop.

I think less is more with this, something I struggle with.

I recognized it as yours in less than a second from the thumbnail, always amazes me how that happens

Simple, yet beautiful....Simply beautiful. Makes me think of the mesquite trees here in Texas, they never bud out before the last hard freeze - It's how you know for sure winter is over here. :)

Axil you blow us away;one hour and 19 minutes is all? yeah, insanely good. He just drops pearls and large diamonds on us, like they were nothing. Hmm..the true artist knows when to stop, and not overdo.

luminous..

goin skinnydippin?

Yes, that's beautiful, sigh, wow. I'm going to Florence, coast of Oregon, next week,and I'm tryin to get this digital camera ready, not sure if it will be; nuts. May have to take old fashioned sketch-pad and pencil, and I sure cannot take a laptop, do not have one, shit. My friend is going to bring her camera, great painting, you really can do it. :)

thanks dorothy
