Fantastic Scene!!! =0)

Dear David. I really don't know where to start here. First of all, thank you so much for this incredible beautiful dedication. I feel so extremely honoured about this, and I can't tell you in words how much this warmed my heart. Going through a hard time in life, but when I see this dedication and read your words, everything feels so much better. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart David, you are wonderful! When I read what you are writing about me, I feel that I don't deserve all those beautiful words, but in fact, that's actually the same way I feel about you. You are such an wonderful and heartwarmed person, and from the first time you comment on my work when I was new here in may, I have felt that there is really something special about you. I really don't know how you have learned to write in norwegian, but it's perfect my friend, and you put an even bigger smile on my face when I read those norwegian words :) It really hurts me that you are not doing so well and that you are going through a hard time in your life. I only wish the best for you. A guy like you only deserves the best in life, and I hope from the bottom of my heart that the sun will shine into your life soon again. I read that Unicornst wants to be like you when she grows up, I can't say when I grow up, since I'm in age is an grown-up, but I still want to be like you :) Happy Birthday David, I hope that your day has been filled with joy, and I really wished that I could put a bit more joy into your life right now. And so over to comment to your picture :) Again, in times like this I wish that english was my primal language, it would have been much more easy to write everything I think when I see this masterpiece of work then. There are so many details here, the beautiful leafes that you have placed so perfectly in this scene, it really reminds me of how beautiful the autumn can be. The warm color-tones in here, I feel really warm in my heart just looking at it :) All the burning candles and the fire, it is amazing how you make it glows my friend :) The glowing effect around the leafes by her hand, I don't know how you come up with so many excellent ideas, but all your attention to details makes your art really spetacular! The whole woman is for me a symbol of warmth in this picture, like your soul :) The building, all her jewels, the way you have posed her and modified everything in this gorgeous artwork makes me totally out of words. That tiger who looks at her in a way like he's admiring her, wow..it's just perfect :) Thank you so much my friend, for this unbelieable dedication, I will take this picture and your words itno my heart and keep them there forever. Thank you also for everything you are David, not only to me, but to the whole community in here. I know that you are loved by so many, including me of course :) ~Love and hugs from your friend, Hedda~

Oh my. I really dont know what to say. About your dedication and your image. This is what art is all about, feelings. You have a made stunning dedication to the most lovely person I know of. I loved reading your words and I know she did too :) This image and dedication gives me alot of feelings, but I'm not to good at writing them down, especially not in english :/ But you did some lovely words for her in norwegian :) I just love all the details in your image, all the colors and all the lights. Everything is just magnificent, it really puts joy in my heart just by looking at it :) I wish I was as talented as you, but I'm glad I'm not, cause you are uniqe! Your art is uniqe and no one can make anything like this like you do. This is so awesome! I wish I could buy this art :) This is absolutely a favorite! vote indeed Happy Birthday, David! I'm completely out of words. Audun

Hey! I hope this doesn't mean you won't post anything else until thanksgiving! LOL! I hope things are going to get better (if they haven't already) and i say - never worry about comments and such! Please don't give us the displeasure of seeing your artwork without giving the chance to leave our thoughts! And now, on to the image... what to say? It is in fact much less "dark" than the usual, the big cat on his first appearance looks great and makes me hope (i like kittyies, even when so oversized! :D) that he'll be featured again in the future, and is that a halo around the girl's head? :) A most beautiful image, with fantastic lighting and colors, and most importantly, some very well chosen and felt words for one of the most caring, sweet and gentle soul around! And, before i go... Happy (belated by now) Birthday!! I hope everything has been great for you in that day!!

Happy Birthday David!!!! Gee, that makes you a Scoripo TOO!!!! Cool! This image is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!! Your dedication is lovely too, you're a sweety!!! ~hug~
