Awe cool.. I am so happy that you are thrilled with it. Sometimes those things can go either way, meaning people think its garbage and never talk to you again. (wiping the sweat from my brow..lol) Glad that wasn't the case :-)

I am not always so good at the light thing. I tend to be either light or heavy handed when painting it in. I have to say, I agree.. It doesn't look too bad this time. Yup, 2 hours is all I need for a masterpiece!! hehe. It's roughly 5" x 7", so they are quick to paint. Larger ones take more time for sure. I like going from nothing to something in a short period of time, especially if I only have a few hours to do it in. I hate walking away from something and getting back to it later. If I have to, I will though.

It is so much more beautiful painted than the real thing. I like how your artistic license gives you permission to do it your way. Dude!! You are so cool! Thank you and thanks for the mention! I need all the attention I can get! :)

A few things to clarify here.. I am sure the real thing was much more impressive. I am not as "Cool" as you would imagine (okay, maybe Pepper, Molly and my Wife think so, but their biased), You are SO very welcome for the mention and deserve the credit .. inspiration is hard to come by sometimes ;-).. Always glad to help out in any small way I can!

Thanks for the tip too! You are always so generous :-D
