The new show on Animal Planet called 'Jockeys', is a unique look into the life of the jockey community. My interest is personal, as I knew the brother of two of the top jockeys in the horse racing world...Sam and Eddie Maple. This new show is very informative and discloses intimate details of the jockey's personal lives...their struggles and relationships. Julie Krone was the first woman jockey to win the Kentucky Derby and the only women to be inducted into the National Horse Racing Hall of Fame.

Im a pro gambler and i bet on the horse racing most days of the week! hayley turners a great jockey but the majority of the rest are useless, especially rosie dobbin she couldnt ride out in a finish if her life depended on it.

Here's the low down.....this is my Grandson, although I'm not really old enough (ok, it's possible at 45 yrs old) to have grandkids yet and I don't really have access to him and here's why...
I had a daughter when I was 17 yrs old but being so young myself, my best choice was adoption...and so the right parents were found, the papers were signed, and life went on....
In the year 2000, I discovered that my then 18 yr old daughter was beginning the process contacting me thru the adoption agency we used and on her 19th birthday, we were on the way home from picking her up at the Atlanta bus station...

Amazing picture elly and an amazing story. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and acknowledging God in the midst of all that has happened. Only He can provide such strength along with the artistic talent that He has so fully blessed you with. Keep them coming, please!

I'm glad to see other people sharing their stories here. I still have hopes that someday my daughter might be able to locate her son. He's probably married by now, and has kids of his own. Who knows....my daughter might be a "grandmother".......which would make me a "great grandmother".

That's amazing, elly. I like the high contrast!
I was adopted when I was six years old. The adoption agency spent two years trying to find my parents while I was in foster care but had no luck. When I was younger, not knowing who my real mom was constantly bothered me. Nowadays, it's not something I think about but I still want to know. I'd like to find her and ask her all these questions that need answers. I'd hope she could answer them for me. On the other hand, I might be better off not digging around for her. I guess I won't know until I cross that bridge.

Contest Week 95: Musical Portraits

Kloxboy (edited Jun 23, 2010)

Contest Week 95: Musical Portraits (10 days) Paint a portrait of a musician in the style of their music. The portrait should be the focal point of your entry but you can draw other elements and symbols around the portrait if you wish, just make sure the "musical expression" is coming through in the portrait itself. You can do this in any style you want, realistic, caricature, abstract, as long as I get a sense of what the musician looks like and what their music sounds like. If the mus...

Is there a way to save brush settings?

sadly there is no way to do it. you could record them on a hidden layer in your drawing... (also useful for storing colors)

enjoydotcom (Mar 4, 2009)

How can you record brush settings on a hidden layer? Writing the specs down you mean? The storing colors one I knew already. Never understand the swatch tabs you can get with Shi-painter (Waste of space).

Very nice drawing by the way, I like how it looks as if he is looking through a veil or a curtain. Don't know if that was what you're aiming at.

What a great looking space ship. I wish there really were spaceships like this "out there". It would be so cool if there were other planets "out there" that were similar to Earth. "We are not alone"!!!!! "LOL"!! :)
