Fantastic notes! But your attitude gives away who you are. (Cleo) making my blinders useless! You are becoming extremely proficient at setting a feeling and a mood with this mixed media stuff. It is always haunting and memorable, shows you put a lot of work and thought into the creation. Donkeyoatey

    Thank you so much! Yes I put a lot of thinking into my pictures. For me they have to have a story, a message a meaning. Just pretty doesn't work for me.

The girl is very refreshing to look at and blends well w/ the silhouette of the trees. Very nice artwork and the story suits it fine. You really have an eye for details.

This is really lovely Cleo. I like how you've made a strong silouette on the right and the softer blending on the left. The girls face makesthe transition. What a story teller this one is. Very nice piece...Coffee

I like your job of merging the pictures and coming up with the concept and the image you have here. Looks like the spirit of the trees is young, innocent and very pretty. The blue of the sky makes a nice background, picks up her hair ribbon and brings the eye down to the level of the trees. Very creative and imaginative presentation.

    Thank you so much. Yes she is young and innocent just like these trees. The new grow after the devastating hurricans of 2005. I had her usually planned as the spirit or personification of spring but than changed my mind.
Comment from Dimples


Very nicely done, gorgeous young girl, she looks like an angel amongst the trees. Great presentation, centre of interest and initial impact. Very creative you have done this really well, like how you have blended her in to the picture. Great job.

    Thank you Trev. I had her planned as the personification of spring but than changed my mine. These trees are young like her. The new grow, the return after the devastating 2005/06 hurricanes.
