Beautiful shaping and shading on the mouth and I like all the sparkly/shiny FX. The big white lettering kind of detracts, though, I think.

I just like those sparks of light around her.. nicely done

Dorothy, you've asked me several times if I'm a professional. thank you for the compliment, but I am not.

It is great, I even love your little 'imperfections', they keep it interesting enough to explore the better parts.. and she's also called you Axel a few times before :)

This is Great!

AAAGH!!! WOW! yer right, they could coleborate; have you guys?yummy! All the wonderful paint, Reds working with the black and blue, dark and light. Royje has a genius for light.. Have you been reading or looking at Gauguin?it's gorgeous.

I have noticed that painters and artists in different parts of the world, have different light in their environment, and it often makes a big difference in the lighting of their work.well, I guess that's obvious.(I'm going to go out on a big limb, right now, and say that some nations and parts of the world also have greater artists than others. Whoops, sorry that's a very racially delicate subject, but I still think that.)but it also depends on WHO is judging the art, anyway. I am biased. Haw haw.

I love this and the style in which you did it.

I love this, was a little saddened when the planter dissappeared but it is such beautiful work in the end it doesn't even matter that it's not there anymore.

congratulations! It looks like you like Andrew Wyeth, that painter?very nice wood and muted tones.

Wow. How could I have missed this?! Beautiful!! :)

Front page again

Okay, you've been 25 for three days now...Happy Birthday, by the way.

crab crab crab crab crab

pure awesome

you're good at these things.. I love it.

thank you! I'd love to be able to draw realistically like so many of you do, but, I'm happy to create the things I can!!

this is beautiful Roy, such talent

Wow, so beautiful, I can't paint like, anything like, that anymore ; l never really translated well from real paint "to software. and if you get outta practice that's bad Too. I love this, keep going! :)

I see here a display of denial.. her face seems calm, she's closing her eyes and turning her back on the turmoil behind, even though it reached her, and the fire has already got to her hair (great touch btw roy).
and although it's repressed, her anxiety is clearly shown through the solid strokes, even the flames are calmer than her. It's actually a little bothering piece, with everything that is going on..

my first thought was the Grand Canyon. very interesting, DJ. :)

Another world :)

yes Pantera! thanks all!!
