PixelArtisan : Hey Shawn, you made the FAR big time!! Recognized Artist...a giant YEEHAWWW to you girl. It is a well deserved award to a special FAR gal. You continue to crank out oodles of art, each one getting better than the last. I have not painted for a couple months. FAR pretty much destroyed my desire but the rebound will come soon enough. The breather is welcomed. I am still rehabbing the shoulder, trying to sell my company and taking care of some nasty debt collectors. Ahhhh, life is always interesting. LOL!! Keep up the wonderful work. Fun and Laughs always, Your Pal, Russ

MoonWillow : First of all, Deez, I would like to thank you for the beautiful comments :) Second, I just want to tell you that if you like doing something, art or photography, or whatever turns you on and you enjoy, keep on doing it and don't let anyone discourage you. We humans have to have an outlet :) I love creating things, and as a photographer and artist, I'm sure you feel the same way...just keep at it, and I wish you all the best. Did you happen to notice all the pieces Robbin Gillow has been posting? She posted them to show new artists that we all have to start somewhere and that every piece an artist turns out isn't always perfect. There are many artist on this site alone that I truly envy LOL. I just keep plugging alone and always trying something new :) Shawn
