The Silver Tree stands alone....
Gradually it turned from wood to stone.....
The stone they say turned to rust...
They wondered then, would it turn to dust?

Wow! How cool is that? Didn't think I stood a chance! Thanks Miss DJ and pyrobarbie =) Think I'll go party!!
Thank you too Cloxboy! Wow, I'm really honored! That was my first (but not last) contest here. I'm a bit shocked, to say the least.
I'm glad you liked my entry =)

Raggedy Ann & Andy

One of my Childhood favorites

I had one of those growing up (but I can't remember if it was Anne or Andy) And I still have a childrens book from the 80's. Thanks for the memories Kute. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 13, 2006)

Raggedy Ann! :) I loved the book, and my Raggedy Ann doll was one of my favorites, although I put her through way more hell than Marcella did in the stories...my Alaskan Simoan dog Snow White ripped my Raggedy Ann's head off in the end. I think we should start calling Marcello "Marcella"... it's much closer to home. :D

I'm glad you did this picture, it brought back lots of funny memories, and you did such a cute job in depicting them.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

Thanks everyone for the great comments on these, I guess they are just "Old Favorites" of a lot of people. Actually I do paint a lot of childrens characters for pay but on canvas I do much better than on the net. I am really not half as good as I would like to be. I have painted so many Winnie the Pooh pictures I have grown not to like "The Pooh" much. LOL My favorite childrens characters to paint is Disney, Mickey and Minnie. I just love them and could never paint them enough.

Sweetcell & shults, don't look at the "water", look at the mid-tones, highlights, lowlights, and shadows along with the over all shape. Keep trying though!! You'll get it!!

davincipoppalag (Sep 15, 2006)

Less is more with water and shiny stuff. I still can't do shiny... look at some of Axil's and Annas...

I think when you draw an eye or a water drop you're selling your soul to the devil!

elly (Sep 18, 2006)

Not if your soul is already sold to higher ground first! =)

They look good enough to eat! My little granddaughters picked most of my tomatoes and threw them all over the back yard last weekend. Grrrrr..

Sweetcell (Sep 14, 2006)

Pick one, make a sauce.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

I like 'em just sliced with salt and peppa! My mouth is watering as I type. Actually my favorite tomatoe are the "green fried" ones. Yummy!

STARZSHINE (Feb 11, 2008)

believe it or not kutie, these are my first! It took me a while to feel they were looking realistic but I got the hang of it.....I think!

suntan toes, I love your user name....and I love it when my feet are tan!!!! Thank you =)

fleeting_memory (Sep 11, 2006)

nice water droplets-I've never been able to figure out water :)

emmamommalag (Sep 13, 2006)

I haven't tried drawing water like this but you are inspiring me with this and your others.. I just might have to give it a go one of these days.

Sweetcell (Sep 13, 2006)

After seeing these water pics of yours I really have to try myself. I don't know how hard it is but damn you make me want to try. It's all a matter of placement of refractive colors and shapes I know, but it's harder than it seems. Hope you do more of them elly, you obviously got the hang of it.

I like this one, very cool!

Ruggi (Sep 11, 2006)

Now this definitely 'sucks'.... good job!! :o)

Sweetcell (Sep 11, 2006)

If you need to see water pics you must look up DBA's stuff. She's become an expert around here. I haven't even dared tried except in landscape pieces. Your getting good so fast I'm a little in awe. And, hey, is that Dorothy's house I see?

fleeting_memory (Sep 11, 2006)

more water! I'm so jealous of water.

elly (Sep 10, 2006)

Wow, maybe that's where this vision deep in my mind came from....hummm. Microdot! Oh the colors!!! The beautiful colors!!! =)

davincipoppalag (Sep 10, 2006)

For this my reference was a photo. Amazing that the sky looked like this one night! Enjoy =)

surprisingly enough, this is all the actual photo showed of the water. Barely there low lights. I'm thinking about doing more to the water but......do I get points taken away if I work more on a "finished" drawing? (like it really matters right??) I lost some points for going back and reworking a previous finished drawing not long ago (big improvement to the drawing though). Thanks for your kind words Sweet. I was checking out your work and what TOTALLY AMAZING work you do!!! It's an honor to receive a compliment from you!!

davincipoppalag (Sep 9, 2006)

Points don't mean a thing here elly. This is wonderful Very beautiful sky

cianteed2 (Sep 9, 2006)

I love the black water, LOVE it. Great colour scheme, looks great!

Deino (Sep 10, 2006)

Such a beautiful sight...
