"Bonni, while I like to go for the realistic look, the photorealistic textures do nothing for me either. Like I stated earlier, it is a blend of realism and fantasy that I like." Yeah, me too. That's why the art of the Hildebrandts (or Frank Frazetta or Vargas) appeals to me. It's clearly not real, but it has elements of reality. Roger Dean's stuff is like that. You KNOW it can't possibly be real, but it MIGHT be... ;) bonni
