dba...this comment is from my son, as he doesnt have an account (yet) he's going through me.

i really like your picture(and so does my sister) the detail and cat tail are amazing, the background looks real, and it looks like a constellation, it makes me wonder, is it a big cat(cheetah, jaguar etc. or a pet kitty, i like how it makes me wonder that.

It's a silhouette of a mountain lion. (Tell your kids thank you...) I have a fascination with them because we live on a lake with alot of cliffs, we have them here... they are very elusive. Sometimes when I deer hunt I find tracks and just before dark when the hair stands up on the back of my neck, I know I have gone from being the hunter to the hunted... lol :)

I can't believe you didn't get tons of comments on this one(guess I was one of the guilty ones until now), but damn...this is another awesome one added to your great pics. I love all of them actually, even though I see that I have been lazy at commenting...

Hehe, this is coool XD.I think I like the sky and the light shining between the trees better than the trees themselves.The clouds are just awesome^^.Well done.

I love this. I will marry it. And our children will have crazy perspectives as well.

i do so love your style. btw, lasaux is more like photoshop than the other programs in my opinion. *tappie is obsessed with photoshop*

i love the style. reminds me of this site very soft and painterly.

Thanks yall. :)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

incredible.... *wants brain*

amen! nice illustration. reminds me of 80's zipatone art.

heck yeah!!! i do solid lineart all the time... you rock, quintessence.... wootiness....

No, I meant straight downward. I'm not sure why it looked that way, but it's better now. Whatever it was it doesn't bother me now, and I like it. (It's hard to tell when something is so small, the tiniest little mark can change the whole thing.) Hey, fyi, did you know you can use any picture as your icon? You don't have to draw a small one.

yea..just its more fun to make a lil tiny one... the lighthouse one is 20x20

kOleRiNg!
err.. er. eh...
*sighs*

Wow! ^_^ You did a great job on the hair! ^_^
