Thanks, mb!

I like this one best, too, of the last 3 I posted. I'm going to paint more using vivid contrasting colors like this. I might have to wear sunglasses while I paint. haha... (In person, it pops even more .... photo colors appear a little more drab than in real life).

This is so amazing and my favorite of them too. Although, I think I've loved all of your paintings so far. The flowers in this are so magical. It reminded me of that movie with Robin Williams, What Dreams May Come or sumpin' like that. The color you chose for the flowers came alive.

Aww thanks, SLD! You're a sweetheart.

You know if you click the image, it opens up bigger, right?

I always forget to post that info when I post stuff. Just saying that because I found out recently that someone didn't know the software did that.

Anyway... It takes me too long to create a painting because of my limited time to paint so I'm thinking of quitting my job so I can paint full time. Hahahahahaha! By this time next year, I should have 100 of them. PLUS, I bet I would have learned how to paint MUCH better by then!

Just need to find someone to pay my mortgage.

Thanks so much for your very kind support. Believe me, I need it bad. Sometimes I get so frustrated. I'm such an amateur. I need to be a pro. (Well everybody's gotta have a goal, right?)

"What Dreams May Come" was a really creepy but very cool movie! I loved it! Robin Williams was great! Great filming, scenery, very cool imagination the writers had and the special effects were awesome! Remember when they went to hell toward the end looking for the mother/wife? (I think I'm remembering the plot correctly)

I didn't know it was click-able. lol! Like that software.

Yep, he couldn't 'join' her in life during her dark moments, was it 'D' day? Anyway, he didn't meet her there. When they died, he decided that was the 'window' to join her, meet her in the dark as he never had before. Really creepy, but very touching.

Yeah yeah... that's it! And there was a sea of bodies underneath with arms reaching up as they used a boat to travel through them... It was great! Thanks for reminding me! I'd like to get that movie again! Very touching, yes!

(AND... maybe i should post a sticky at the top of the forum that says "Click images for a larger view")

i'd like to click on a larger view of you, Doreen,
but the wildflowers are ex·qui·site

Nice work.
