Comes a time when you look back. I remember times before I discovered this site and many many more before it, before the internet at all, and my life had more quality. I spent my time persuing other intrests but I had balance. It seems to me that this has become an addiction, make no mistake, every bit of an addiction as drugs or alcohole ever were. I have a compulsive personality and when I find something I like, I tend to become obsessed and it consumes my thoughts and time. My family, my self image, my quality of life have all suffered as a result. I know how much I disliked it whenever someone would write a note and say goodbye and I swore I would never do that, that if it ever came my time to go I would simply go. And of course there is always the risk of making a fool of yourself by doing this and then comming back. We'll see. A fond farewell to you Marcello, and everyone with whom I've come to know or interact with. Wish me luck.

This fills me with great sadness, but I think I understand it. Your reasons for doing it are just one of the many reasons I have always admired you not just as an artist, but as a man of great character. I hope there will come a time (soon) when you find it comfortable to be here to share your beautiful expressions of art with us. I, for one, am willing to wait patiently to see you here again.

I, too, was one who came to your site every day just to see your wonderful art. I loved the diversity, the willingness to try so many types of expression, and always the greatness (and sometime silliness) of your thoughts which accompanied the art. You think deeply, love deeply, and I know you will continue making hard decisions based on your tenacity to endure and improve. You've been there, and you're going on. Bless you on the journey. Your life has made a difference to me. May I give you a standing ovation?

It's so effective to leave the hair and dress less detailed. One of my favourite painting styles--a mixture of impressionism and realism. When it works, as this does, I think there is no painting style more beautiful. Looking at these purples and orange/golds together is a sensory treat.

pretty colors and blending

realism (almost)

Always did love this picture of them. It's a print hanging on my wall and I've been wanting to give it a try for awhile now. Just been stressed with life for awhile, here and at work, so haven't had the physical or mental energy to draw. Hoping I'll finish this soon though.
