Congrats indeed...I as well prefer the water colour of the Vue image...warmer and more human...cg images have a tendency to be over cool to my taste when it comes to humans but your treatment of it in watercolours is delicious...really like the portrait of my fave flower as well.. ...
Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down
Sometimes
they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
Thanks Folks!

Sweet!! :)
most watercolours are too washed out and limpid for my tastes, but those are lush and enlivening :)

**Thanks for the nice words! Let me use this opportunity to say a few words In 'defense' of the watercolor technique :
I know the concept of watercolor paintings conjurs up images of pleasant landscapes, dainty little flowers or thatched cottages with climbing pink roses, painted by refined upper class ladies (or prince Charles). Being that I had very little art knowledge and no formal art education, I used to think that too - watercolor is a whishy-washy pass-time. I changed my mind when I saw the type of bold watercolor practiced by Californian artists . And in time I discovered others, like Winslow Homer in the US, and Graham Dean in the UK, just to name a couple. These artists do not use the watercolor technique as an illustration method. They use it for expressive descriptions and to convey emotional statements. For these purposes, not only is watercolor as good as the more respected oil - it may have the advantage. It is quick, dynamic and direct. It is easier to get a fresh and lively look - one just has to be free and bold enough...
I dont mean to sound pretentious and imply that my paintings are in the same category as the examples I gave, but I am glad when people that see my paintings change their mind a bit about the nature of watercolor paintings.
Please continue to look at watercolors with an open mind:)

Thanks! and yes my avatar is part of one of my older watercolor paintings, titled 'Moody Fish'.
The rest of the painting isnt very good, but the fishy represents me quite well - I look almost as good and often act as grumpy:)

Thought I'd share some good news (I moan often enough:) ) - I submitted 3 paintings to a juried exhibition organized by the Colorado Watercolor Society, and two of them were accepted! Up to this year I couldnt get even one accepted so I'm really pleased! The exhibition is "CWS 2009 New Trends Exhibit" September 14 to 27 Co-Art Gallery, Denver, CO 846 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, COIf you're around that part of the world come and see it! If not - I'm attaching them here (and bigger version is in my gallery, see link) and in my next post.
The only relevance to Vue is that I did a CG image first to help me with the figures pose and with lights, reflections etc. I actually like both, but watercolor is still my main focus and love.
