Was the long plane ride to Hawaii worth the trip? I'd love to fly to Florida sometime.....my daughter lives there, and I haven't seen her in a long time. I've never been to Bermuda either, but a close friend of mine went there one time, and he sent me a postcard from Bermuda....it looks nice there. Another friend of mine flew to Hawaii a couple of times, and sent me postcards from there.....she loves Hawaii.....it's her favorite place to visit. I've always been afraid to fly anywhere.....but I think maybe I'll try it sometime....at least to go as far as Florida.....:)

I guess it was...but Bermuda is just as nice and it's only 600 miles from here. Fly to Florida.. planes are safer than cars!

I'm gonna give it some deep thought.....I'm thinkin' I'll try flying to Florida first.....and if I live thru that flight.....I might try going somewhere else like Hawaii or Bermuda....:)

In the end Firecracker beat him to death with a big inflatable apostrophe and buried him in the back yard...he had it coming so he did.

I'm thrilled when a drawing brings out comments more than just the "OMG i love it!" comments. I just posted one that may stir emotions but that's not what mine was intended for. This one, Sunny, evokes many emotions I'm sure! It's deep, and it's bright and eye grabbing to get your attention! VERY well done!
Fire, you are a strong person. First, to have survived all the physical and emotional pain you've gone thru, and second, to be able to share it! Blessings to you, my friend =)

Thanks Lori and Elly.....I'm glad that all those bad memories are all behind me now,,,,,but actually it was my daughter who suffered the most pain more so than me. When my husband would get drunk,,,,he seemed to focus all his anger on our daughter, and she was only about 12 or maybe 13 yrs old when he really beat her up badly. He had a dr jekyll and mr hyde type of personality. My daughter is all grown up now and she is a "survivor", and in spite of all the disgusting things that he did,,,,,she still loves him.....I don't understand that, but that's how she feels. He died a few years ago, and I'm certain that he is not in Heaven. And "Noooo flubadub".....I didn't hit him with a giant apostrophe.....only you could come up with something like that...."lol". But I do have a lot of good memories of my time with him.....but the bad ones overshadow the good ones. I blame it all on alcohol.....he would turn into a "mr hyde" when he'd get drunk. Anyways......talking about this just brings back a lot of bad memories that I try to block out of my mind, so I'm not gonna say any more about it....it's all in the past, and he isn't here anymore.

I think your rose has GREAT potential....just need to work on the details/shading/light/shadows, etc....I draw on my laptop too sometimes but I stick to abstracts mainly...this is pretty impressive for laptop drawing! Welcome to 2d! Hope you can get you a tablet. Very affordable these days...

if you have problems with getting smooth lines try painting on chippipaint and use the smooth tool, it helps alot
