"Wow'! What an amazing draw.......I just love this big hairy ape......I think he's beautiful! Awesome draw!!! :)

really well done

oh wow.. I love this <3

Did you ever think about the Brazilian straightener? My hairdresser has hair that sounds like yours and she just had it done the other day...I had no idea who she when I saw it. So smooth and straight. High price tag on that. I just try and keep mine under control anyway I can...very hard when it's hot.

I love sassy hair.

I have tried lots of things to tame it before...now I just learn to love it for the chaos that it is...goes well with my personality..so there ya go..;)

God only knows, lori...lol

so pretty and peaceful

I like the colors here. :)

thanks :)

how did you do the top portion of this? I really like that part.

That's my favorite part, too, Lori! If we could 'crop' our draws, I would have cropped this one.
It's very hard to explain. I did a sort of tutorial on it one time. I started this draw using only 3 colors, Red, blue and white. I was going to do a Memorial Day tribute type of draw. Then, after playin with those 3 colors awhile in different shape lines and directions, then I used the difference tool, still using the 3 colors. Then, I lessen the opacity and click on Blend w/the difference tool and that starts making more and more lines of different colors. I kind of play around like this until I begin to like the 'paint brush full of paint that I've created on the palette.
Then I start to draw what I want to draw. I click OFF the blend and change the opacity to create different effects. But it takes awhile to really start to see what you said you liked in the top part. You just have to be willing to keep at it until something desirable starts to appear....

mmm lush colors, very nice

I'm liking how this abstract flips my mind back and forth between landscape imagery and suggestions of a figure but is obviously neither. I love looking at the part where the blues turn into the dark purples.

I voted for McCain and I knew the second he lost that we were in deep doodoo

He has delivered two major speeches, in the last year or so, at West Point...the "I am giving the ok to deploy more troops to Afganistan" speech, and last weekend he spoke to the graduating class of soldiers , in part, about the "success in Iraq and putting them in harms way." So, why was it inconvenient to place the wreath at Arlington? An hour plane ride is all it would have taken. A small blip on the way to the Gulf. Completely blows.

Because the country is not important to him...I didn't vote for him and I agree about knowing we were in deep doo doo when he got eleted. Bush was so wrong that Obama brought the troops straight home..oh..wait..he didn't did he.

Your'e saying that like it's a bad thing.

Now, THAT made me laugh out loud.

Marion, I can't believe I've never seen any of your work before (except for the collab you did with Roytje! I'm very impressed and hope to see lots more of it. I just looked at all the pictures in your gallery. What a treat.

Thank you!
