More beauty...

Helle, I know your love for architecture, and this fits right in with your many other works of buildings & low skylines & vases, etc. In fact your 'skyline' here feels very Northern European, the way the forms pile up on each other. Love the light from behind as well, varying Lucinda's original mysterious light...

Lucinda, your quilt samples are beautiful...I know that quilting is a very old art, and it gives you the chance to sink into each pattern & commune with it for a while. I assume it's that way when you do it digitally too. These would be great as very large pieces, btw, with many patterns across the frame...

Mark, both of your pieces have a real mystery, the way you fade your backgrounds (in the first, you moved the main tree to the other side & added trees & then engulfed them in mist, fine manipulation). Here, the two visitors seem from another lifetime, and the light seems to be consuming the church from behind. Very imaginative.

And thank you for your comments, everyone, I'm glad you saw fantasy in my pieces. I was going for an "Alice in Wonderland" look, yes Lucinda; and Tara, thank you for seeing something 'new' in my work, I really appreciate that. Thanks to you all, I don't get here enough & it's one of the best forums on the site.

A happy Sunday from me as well! Mark
