I'm glad you feel this way. Still, I am aware that the simplification usually comes after you first learn the hard stuff. Then you simplify to a style. Well, at least that is what some artists I know told me. Trouble is I have only started with art two years ago, just to spite an eye disease, which is now better. I suppose that is why I am a bit uncertain about the "art" part :-). t.

Thanks to you all. As this is a fairy simple scene, I had hard time deciding whether to submit it or not. When I compare this to some of the images especially you guys are posting here ... At least I'm learning. tatjana

Well, a black screen may be a nice new begining, too :-). Seriously, I'll see what I can do.

Tried that. The huge red ball got too prominent for everything else to be noticeable. I wanted to avoid the "HAL9000 effect".
