I'm speechless. How come you are good at writing AND at painting. Is that why I have no talent???!! Don't be so greedy and give me some of that back. Sheesh. LOL. This is beautiful (no, I'm still straight, don't worry) but it must have been difficult to get the right lighting effects and stuff. Actually I have no clue what I'm talking about - I just know I couldn't do it! Nice job!

thanks teeni, but i think you're plenty talented. you'd kick MY ass at whack-a-mole

as for lighting, etc, etc, i just sat in front of a mirror, sketched it out - and then painted from memory...or should i say mamory.

i sketched out a few of them, but only painted the one so far... so there may be more to come...

Whoa!

I came to check out your other blogs and wound up checking out, um, you!

Very, very nice! And I'm being serious here...very talented.

Thanks so much, Diva! It looks so pretty on my wall - I matted it in black and put it in a black wood frame.

You rock my living room! :)

That came out terrific. You definitely need to paint more.

I just read your response to my comment and all I can say is "Well, sheesh, how many did you sketch? How many is a 'few?' Wait, how many do you HAVE?" LOL.

I joke, but only because I'm jealous. In more ways than just the talent. If/when I go for reconstruction, I should have you pose for me. Or I could just borrow your painting. ;)

Teeni, you are hilarious.
