Been out of town for several days. Congratulations to the winners and keep up the good work all. Going to see what new challenge is. Tam

I would like to say that I love critism. How can I improve if I do not have people telling what they think that I am doing wrong. But I do agree that there is a right way and a wrong way to help someone see what is wrong. First though to the artist, there is always room for improvement, when you post you should expect feedback, and not always is that feedback positive. I am always grateful for help given. As far as this month's challenge goes I had some trouble with it because of the theme. I have only one God. But I looked at it in a different way. NOT as THE GOD, but as a tool to unlock the creativeness that is inside us all. I have only entered two challenges and I find that they do exactly that CHALLENGE. How can a person learn if not challenged. As far as the rules went I had no problems with that (maybe cause I am new to all of this). My entry was not as good as some others but it was not as bad as my entry last month. I saw how much I had learned in the month since the last challenge and was very pleased. I need no votes to see improvement in myself and I strive to become as talented as even a few of the artists here. I hate to see strife and upset. I have come to love this place in the two months that I have been visiting here and have learned so much from everyone even if they are not aware of it. Thank You Tammy

This was very difficult voting for me. But here goes: 3-DarkndSoul13 2-electroglyph 1-TheBryster Thank You

love those little aliens. really neat.

I want to thank everyone for their comments. When I look at my work without looking at everyone elses I am proud of what I have acomplished. It is only when I look at those that have been using the program for sometime that I feel inferior. I am sure that they feel the same way about their first works though and I have enjoyed these challenges and am looking forward to many more. Practice makes perfect (or in my case just better).

I had the very same problem twice now. I was trying to save some stuff that I made when it lost everything. I am glad to read about how to avoid and prepare.

You sounded just fine and I love helping hands when needed. Thank you for taking an interest in my rantings.

Cold dark night Loss of light No more dreams Endless tears Pain so near Cold dark night Loss of love No more touch Endless ache Heart of stone Cold dark night Loss of light

very smooth and awsome colors. I really like it.

it looks really kewl. I knew it was some kind of water before i even saw the description.

Stefano, I will try to get a scene done soon that will show the other side. It will take some thought and planning. Will try to post soon. Thank You for you wonderful comments

Actually in the poem that was true. But alas, now he's gone and my heart breaks every day.

Midnight Fantasy You come to me in my dreams and say you love me dear You reach a gentle hand, touch my face and wipe away the tear A tear for love so deep and true for you and only you A midnight fantasy of love come true and tender words of I DO A springtime dream of warmth and love as birds sing out their song A dream of passion and tenderness I have waited for so long I wake with a smile upon my face as the truth comes crashing in The smile turns into tears as I mourn a love not mine Twas only a midnight fantasy gentle, warm and free Not real life and not our love for which can never be.
