Elly I had a Malamute timber wolve mix. His name was Maxx, he had one brown eye and one blue eye, he was the nuttiest dog I ever owned, he thought he was a person. He would sit on our couch with his hiney on the seat and his front paws on the floor. He was that big. He wasn't as tall as a great dane, but he was really long in the torso/abdomen like timber wolves are. When he stood on his hind legs he could put his forepaws on my husband's shoulders and rest his head on my husband's. He is 5'9. When he got to be about 6 months old we were awakened at night with the most unearthly sound, it gave us the willies, and we went to see what it was. It was our Maxx learning to do his wolf howl, omg, it was so funny but really creepy at the same time, lol. He loved to howl for the ladies, for sure. We unfortunately had to give him away when we moved from out of the country because he was too big and too wild. He loved to run and he did hunt. He weighed about 150lbs. He was a big dog, but your pic reminds me so much of him, if your pic had a right blue eye. Thanks for the memories...I miss the crazy boy. He has probably passed on though. His sister was owned by my sister's inlaws they had her till she was 17. An incredible age for a dog.

Looks awesome, almost like a dream

Sweetcell (Mar 8, 2008)

I like this but it looks unfinished. The scribbly lines (especially on the face) look like a preliminary sketch and the thing looks imcomplete.

QTgillie (Mar 8, 2008)

Sweetcell...thanks for the critique but the scribble lines are very close to the ref. pic, did you look at it?

STARZSHINE (Mar 9, 2008)

love this Laura, I may have this same lady, but with a different pose. I just love the Carnivale of Venice, and I have tons of pics that I want to do when I get brave enough, lol. Some are quite intricate and I may just do them a bit at a time. Love the colors and the playfulness this has. One day I would love to go and witness this festival for myself. ah one can only dream, in the meantime we can draw and paint and make us believe we are there...:D

Very cute and pretty. I wish we saw those around here. You might want to suggest the other leg Kath, here it appears there is only one, and maybe add a little more shadow on the fence rail. Nice drawing

elly (Mar 7, 2008)

Aww, what a cutie! I love blue colored birds!

Wow, Miss DJ! That's quite a compliment! Thank you. I LOVE doing water. I should do it more often maybe =)

STARZSHINE (Feb 6, 2008)

WOW, all I can say is WOW blown away!

Cameo (Mar 7, 2008)

I was just going thru your work and I saw this. Musta missed it before. The foam, the light shinning thru the wave, everything about this is lovely! I stand in awe, elly! ;o)

Dali's Meditative Rose (Leaf and Stem Addition)

Cordelia_Pink (Feb 24, 2008)

Inspired by the famous you-know-who. 1958

Here's the ref: http://www.virtualdali.com/58MeditativeRose.html

I realised that my imagination is no better than my attempts at realism and so, since Dali was the first artist that I quite admired for his style, I thought I'd give my 2 cents on one of his famous pieces. I was gonna do "Persistence of Memory" but I didn't think it was even possible to duplicate.

Well, I tried.

beautiful delicate rose, this is awesome cordelia! it would make an awesome tattoo.

Cordelia_Pink (Mar 2, 2008)

haha a tattoo?! nah... but thanks anyway! finally a comment from YOU, Starz! took u long enough. just kidding. I'm still planning on adding more stuff to it but I always seem to be stuck with ideas...

mooki (Mar 2, 2008)

love that stem expecially

Cordelia_Pink (Mar 4, 2008)

aw I was hoping you'd keep your eyes on the rose petals! that's the BEST part ('cause it wasn't my idea anyway hehe) but thanks mooki. I figured a stem would be necessary on this.

And Axil, Sweetcell, GoldDragonfly, lori, elly, DorsY, and UnWanted: I didn't mean to ignore your comments. I should specify who I'm thanking for next time. In fact, I'm glad that some of you mentioned the other part of it besides the rose. I know how easy it is to compare it to the original, in which, I'm usually in favor of. And I was waiting for something to blurt out, "Dali!" 'cause he's the man, really, duh. And Sweetcell, glad to know there's still ppl here who remember me. :D

Aw, thanks, DorsY69. I was very fond of the ref photo when I found it. It was fun to draw!

KathyH (Mar 1, 2008)

I'll have to show this to my husband, this is really cool!

QTgillie (Mar 1, 2008)

I love the stylized look of this draw. We had six of these run through our back yard the other day! Nicely done. Colors are wonderful as it the skill level.

lori (Mar 1, 2008)

such a nice looking pic, so warm.. I love that sun on the antlers
