Hey! Thanks so much for this great comment! Thank you for putting that all together for me...plus it's great to hear from another artist this kind of uplifting commentary - I gave up realism in favor of my imagination a while ago and it's what I do. I could have gone that visionary route and just used my imagination to sketch and then translated it into visionary but I am too impatient to take that long on a painting. Here, you use realism to create your composition but play with the textures and colors in your painterly fill-in- marvelous - thank you...also - I do try to share these moments of opportunity to act as Nature would and give to people and the earth - act against the control system of selfishness...because it might inspire others to do so...
