Pretty water and mountains. It looks like that cool metallic looking shell they make jewelry out of

V1, Donna V1 is amazing. I wish you'd kept that. Maybe try it again. Seriously V1 looks like a CGI (computer animated) Though this is pretty too.

And I swear no matter how I try to follow you tutorial I can't get the smooth oiliness like you do. Bummer.

I think you're a great artist, Jill! And have a good sense of humor as well! Good for you! smiles, Donna

Hi Donna! Thanks for the comment, but not great yet, I am still learning from all of you and sense of humor, definitely necessary! Thanks, Jillj

Why if it isn't another window light drawing. This is so you, I don't care what you say :P

ahhhh I love this. Fresh air

Cold as hell and sloppy snow in Connecticut tonight... this is one of my favorites of yours...nice to get lost in it and feel the warm breeze

Thanks Dave! And thanks again... Jillj

This is incredibly sharp! Love the colors, Jillj

First thing came to mind when I saw this was erector sets. Those old enough (real old :}) know what I'm talking bout. The more you bought the more special pieces you could get and make some real amazing things, with moving parts. Interactive fun.
So simple, but so good.

I really like this pic. The suggestion of the car and the reflected lights are excellent! Great job!!! Jillj

this makes me happy, its nice and well done too
<3

Thanks Dave, I am working a little more with wiki tutorials to get more proficiency with the tools. This was an experiment with a pastel effect, more a learning experience. I appreciate your comments, thanks so much! Jillj

yes, pretty eyes. great song from Paint Your Wagon.

Thanks Miss DJ!!! Appreciate the glance! Jillj

Damn. That is too deep Kloxboy. So your training your brain to collab with each Hemisphere? I predict that with more of this type of practice, we will start seeing drawings from you that will blow us away. ( Beyond what you have already drawn )

Thanks NR. Painting like this is certainly not all left brain, just particular aspects of it. In terms of being more left or right brained, there is more theory to back up that concept than anything else. Such theory is not meant to be applied too specifically, especially in regards to psychology. While each hemisphere serves a variety of different functions, you'll never meet someone who is just right brained or left brained, pending they're not missing half their brain. Even then, there is evidence that the brain can make up for missing or damaged areas by using other areas of the brain to take over the function of the missing section. Even more, the left brain can take over right brain functions or visa-versa when the brain is damaged. Overall, I believe it's a good -general- theory we're talking about here and there is some pretty good evidence to support certain conclusions derived from said theory. Just remember, it's not a fact and even if it was, it can't be applied to everyone. I'm trying to make this clear because a lot of people make too much of the hemisphere divisions, they go on to make their own theories based on popular theories, which of course, they also treat as fact. You know what happens when you assume? You make an ass out of yourself and leave me to tell you so. (I didn't mean that to apply to anyone, I was just making a joke).

I've played piano for several years, i usually pick up songs easily by matching the notes with my ear. Reading sheet music and understanding music theory? Not one of my strong suits. According to my piano teacher, understanding notes as they are on the page, and understanding how to read sheet music is a left brain task. Matching notes and understanding the sounds of the piano is a right brained task. So alot of my practice is designed to build my music reading skills, in order to help me to be a more well "rounded" pianist. I think this is a good exercise for the left side of the brain Klox.

Thanks Dave! Not quite where I want to be but getting there. Still the difference was Nikole, just thinking about her changed the quality of my work. Jilljj

i think this is great. i like her eyeshadow :D

Thanks Ana! I love your work, Jillj
