this is very pleasing to look at, the full figure and a wonderful choice of colors. She reminds me a bit of J-Lo.

This is a cool picture. I like the style it's done in. Even though I usually don't like some of the colors in there, you made them work really well. The way the sash thing with the hearts on it almost matches her skintone really threw me off at first though, and had me wondering if I was looking at a bare-bellied dancing pregnant woman. Just a small change of shade or color for that should fix it.

the bare-bellied dancing pregnant woman bit made me laugh... it's like those chicks in the yogurt commercial. I hadn't noticed that. Thanks.

Thank you. :D Yep I for some reason am not so good with the online pics. I knew there was something bugging me about the butterfly. LOL :D Your insight actually helps alot keep the comments coming. ;)

I'm arachnophobic myself but have always been completely enthralled by garden spiders. :D I forgot to add that I saw this one in a childrens book and kinda fixed it up some. ;) Ihad a picture of my neice going a couple of days ago and got sooooo upset cause I had it looking good and my browser closed and it would never come back up. Ugh. :O :P

I'm with you ,Jana. I am not a big fan of them, either..but they do fascinate me. I did one too, a long time back..creeped me out doing it.

my favorite type of spider....nice job

omg I didnt see this. This is so sweet. I love it!

So in this rendition of the story, shouldn't Gladys be the good witch of the North Trailer Park, instead of Glenda? She could add a few sequins to her turquoise robe and use a feather duster (or a flyswatter, whatever's handy) for her magic wand, you see. AND seems to me that Larry's haggly wife ought to be in charge of the flying monkeys this go round. uhuh. Everybody else (including Larry... gets to take a picnic lunch to Opiate Park (where the poppies grow, of course) where they get wasted on poppy fumes, while eating poppyseed cake. Meanwhile, Larry's haggly wife is busy tending the monkeys and he hooks up with this young chick that blew on over from the trailer park, as well. I think her name is Dorothy? Then Wanda shows up, and it's like a free for all between Gladys, Wanda, Larry's wife and Dorothy... that's when the poppies hit the fan, you see, and Larry wonders if the circus midgets from the trailer park can rescue him from the war zone.

Ummm Has DBA been hanging out in the poppy field awhile? *giggles. :D I see some ideas in there. :D I am loving this series and always look forward to the next one. Love the little flowerpot. :P

Hahaha! Everything about this is perfect. Poor little Larry. XD

Simply great work..what more can I say?..lol

If you stare at the center a bit it moves O_O

haha Zeal I think you're seeing things :)

No.. It moves >_> <_< Or its really really late and I should get some sleep..

Just coming back to this, I know I'm a newbie and all, but this deserves showcase (and not just because it was a request of mine.)

I am flattered that you think so, and I'm glad you like it, but it really is lacking in most of the things I think make a piece worthy of the Showcase. I'm not going to tell you why, because I'd have to beat up my own picture (heh)... it'll be fine right here in my gallery. Just glad you like it. :)

Ok, you know best, but I see things like this, and that's what I think, just glad to enjoy them.

Loving the fence and the planets and well all of it. One of those you can see a story beginning in there. :D

id like to think that that is not planets...rather like a hole in the canvas or objects on it....It seems as if there is even the faintest of shadows that go diaganol that even add more depth

interesting
