Fantastic work my friend!!!Bravissimo!V:DDD.HUgsxx Whylma

Many thanks, Whylma.

Marvelous!

First, it's great to see you back! (You missed the earthquake of the RR 'revolution'.) A delightful surprise to see you here again. Second, it's great to see you back with this image. I'll get to that in a second...Third, thank you for your wonderful and caring comment, I appreciated it tremendously, Craig. Truly, many thanks. Fourth, you're entering summer. (That's not really a "fourth," but I had to say it, as I still think this whole "hemisphere" thing is a hoax.) (There's no equator, right? Come on. There's probably some cheap tape down there, which has worn out by now---leaving that grungy residue which sticks to shoes---and some pseudo scientist talking about the tilt of the earth on its "axis," wink-wink. There's no axis, you know it and I know it: There's a big pole sticking up through the top and bottom of the earth, and a few signs around Guatemala or something. But that's it.) But that is neither here nor there. I LOVE this image! I LOVE it! You made a childrens' book illustration. You really are an artist! I love the painterly techniques, the flat brush areas mixed with the more intense ones. I love the empty landscape with just enough touches to make it full. (Ie, the foreground darkening, the background brush or trees.) I love your framing, rough-edged like it was painted on handmade paper. And the gestures of your animals. The lion is definitely saying "get lost"---but he/she (a she because of the lack of a mane?) could also be saying, "I was thinking: did you leave the gas on again? 'cause you have that habit, and it's costing us a fortune..." And the elephant is having a good laugh. Great postures/attitudes in these characters. And if you're doing these from scratch, you really can draw animals. This is marvelous, Craig. I gotta come back and catch up on some others of yours. However much or little time your back here for, it's always great to see you back. And when Tara sees this, she'll probably think of a tale. (I hope she'll do better than I did.) A thoroughly wonderful image. A sheer delight!

Nice.

great scene and interesting postwork

Wonderful work

wonderful image

There's definitely a conversation going on here! As Mark says, it would make a wonderful illustration for a children's book. I love the post work you did. And gosh, it's good to see you again! :)
