I hope you had a great visit. I am in re-build mode now with the computer, which has been a process of days working on the tech/computer stuff, and then breaks with illustration. I just can't sit for too many days in a row rebuilding files and such..it just makes my brain mushy. But all is good and I am plugging along..the website is coming along too but I have a few more illustrations to do before really launching it. I'm not quite happy with some aspects of the site, but I'll get there! : ) Hope you've been well and have had some time to enjoy this summer so far!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703768956294366254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-92169823225984493062010-06-29T13:04:33.902-04:002010-06-29T13:04:33.902-04:00Very very cool!!

I think it is hard to switch from a realistic style to a more simple style. We have a tendency to work it and rework it and before we know it... it's back to our own style!

It has a different quality (as in 'feel'/'style' NOT standard) about it to some of your pieces, but it is just as beautiful and captivating. xElizabethhttp://www.stanforth-sharpe.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-60490790595424587162010-06-25T17:54:22.502-04:002010-06-25T17:54:22.502-04:00Thank you, Karen, I'll be waiting for your nex...Thank you, Karen, I'll be waiting for your next work!roberto M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16391708405593430150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-73838808813852309802010-06-25T17:27:11.226-04:002010-06-25T17:27:11.226-04:00I love the jellyfish!

I understand about moving away from your comfort zone and how that can create some self doubt. But doubt not! This is a very wonderful, imaginative piece! I also applaud your pushing yourself. As far as I'm concerned, it is REALLY working for you!

You know, I really like your 'realist' style' but it's great that you are trying something else.<br /><br />The jellyfish in this are just superb. So are the mermaids. Perhaps there is a stylsitic difference? The jellyfish are 'in' the water. The mermaids are 'on' the water. Maybe that is why it doesn't settle with you?<br /><br />For me it's a wonderful work.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />andrew :)Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-11703478469176953852010-06-23T21:32:31.891-04:002010-06-23T21:32:31.891-04:00ya'll are so sweet thank you!ya'll are so sweet thank you!k.h.whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987337506335691981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-6351654193209930852010-06-23T21:08:15.292-04:002010-06-23T21:08:15.292-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.k.h.whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987337506335691981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-90920082036902363612010-06-23T18:40:18.594-04:002010-06-23T18:40:18.594-04:00OOOH Lady Bug!!

I've been too comfortable with my work for too long and by the time I woke up, I felt like I've missed out on so many things! But I suppose it's all in the process... We are each equipped with this ever expanding elastic boundary of a mind, what you're doing now is one solid proof of that! <br /><br />These mermaids are glowing, and they're 'your' mermaids! :)) (hugs)Dear Fireflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752902641518139618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840339547545174354.post-88664428329336529742010-06-21T12:12:24.825-04:002010-06-21T12:12:24.825-04:00..i love this one karen..wonderful imagination and.....i love this one karen..wonderful imagination and colors..great contribution..anil kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029199600986754992noreply@blogger.com
