Excellent!

That rock is pretty close to perfect.

I didn't try to make it perfect, I never copied it religously.

Beautiful!

I love all the cherries lately! Hard to 'pick' my favorite one!

Why is everyone drawing cherries?

There's always thing's to be fixed. There's a few drawings I feel happy with and I wouldn't want to change anything, but they're not perfect either.

You have a good eye for detail.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

thank you!

this on canvas would be very stunning, have you ever worked with water mixable oils?

no, I've tried only acrylics on one very sorry canvas. :0

Since then,I asked talked to quite a few Canadians,in Canada,that I KNOW,about how their healthcare system works;well,there is a shortage of doctors,very much.Not enough to go around.Also,in some areas of Canada,the people living there,even outside Toronto,have no access to healthcare,cause their system has broken down,and there's no way to get it.???Either,their system there is overwhelmed,and everyone is on doctor[s waiting lists for years,and there's just no clinics,docs,facilities,and money,and there's no healthcare,even though these Canadians spend as much as 27 thousand a year,for national healthcare. ???They tell about hospital equipment(like x-rays)that do not work,so they have to go over the border,to the us,to use their hospitals.They tell that people are on waiting lists,for years,to see doctors,or they can pay a lot of cash to go to private clinics.If they cannot get into private clinics,they go to the US to see doctors,and pay money. A lot of Canadians brag their healthcare system is better than ours,but if you ask them a lot about it,they admit it's very limited,and people who are sick often can't get treatment,are on waiting lists for years,and can die on waiting lists,cause there are no doctors,they hate that system.Their system is overwhelmed.And yet,they;'re paying thousands of dollars into it,every year.Their taxes are huge.Yet,it sounds a lot worse than ours.Especailly the part about,if you have a lot of money,you skip the whole healthcare system,and you go to PRIVATE CLINICS,AND PRIVATE DOCTORS,AAand pay a lot of cash!!! In other words,everyone who is poor,low income,workingclass,and cannot afford it,has waiting lists,and maxed-out communist ghetto healthcare. The 3rd World of medicine!!ugh,scary.

Oh,and many many doctors have skipped out of the system,and have set up private clinics,and are doing private practice,and you have to pay cash to see decent ones.Wow.Talk about retreat into capitalism!!That's where all the doctors went,in Canada.That's why there is a huge shortage of docs in their system,those guys have left,to go into private non insurance practive.Money,is what they only take.NO insurance.

I thought our healthcare system was bad,and it's still going to be,cause many of our problems are not fixed by this healthcare bill;they are just ignored,and they'll get worse.Also,it is scary to find out,people in Canada tell me,the money for the whole insurance system is never enough to cover the needs of the whole system;no equipment,worn out hospitals,and no ,money for necessary equipment.Once all that money goes into their govt., it spreads so thin,you get a tookpick to take care of your emergency apendectomy.Imagine a large sack of fertilizer,is supposed to cover the needs of the entire state of Texas.It does not get spread around.They stop buying equipment,drugs,paying doctors,the doctors all dissappear,and leave,or go out of business.That is the future of our healthcare reform bill,here.Wow. Very democratic,and equal,no one can see a doctor except the rich,who pay cash.

If it were really like this in Canada, Dorothy, we wouldn't have to worry about health care. We'd have moved to the States or be dead!

Just another mis-information post by this dbue troll. Yes - troll. Page after page of mis-information on other sites, and I see here - too.

this is taking an interesting turn

thanks, we will see whether i keep the arch or not, once i get a bit more done on it.

I don't see any reason why this, or any one of several others shouldn't be in the gallery. You have a unique style that is easily recognizable and loved by many. I think it's high time some of your work gained a place of permanence on this site!

You just drew fire....my cheeks are flame red now! lol....;p...thanks very much for the vote of confidence! Tomorrow, Advanced! (j/k j/k!!) ;)

this is very striking, beautiful work

hard to argue with that. ;)

If god really does exist, then who here can conclusively give me evidence i cannot dispute? i'm not saying i dont believe in god, i've just never been given any concrete evidence of his existence.

See? You are persuing Him.
