Hello I am back!!! I stopped doing this art work back in 2009 when I broke my left wrist and had to have surgery. When it got better I was busy with work and other stuff I had no time to be creative. In 2010 on my 40th birthday, I had an explosive aneurysm in my brain and had emergency open brain surgery. With the help of God, Dr. Scodary saved my life. I have a clamp on the busted vein in my brain between the upper (frontal) and lower (temporal) left lobe. I was in intensive care for a month in a coma. After the long stay at the hospital I was sent to a rehabilitation hospital and stayed there for a week. I then had to do out patient therapy for several months. In February 2011, I went back to work but in May of 2011 I had a grand maul seizure and damaged the surgery area. I was taken to a hospital in a helicopter and stayed there for 7 days. Because of the damage to my skull and brain, I am unable to go back to work due to the possibilities of seizures, damage to my skull, and restrictions from my neurologist. Also I suffer from headaches ranging from mild to severe migraines. I am so happy to get the chance to be able to create artwork again that I love!

You did it! wooooot! Very dramatic piece and quite accurate in how the lighting would fall on her from the lantern. I think you achieved exactly what you were looking for. The persistence paid off even if the price was a few headaches and rantings. =P No need to thank me John, for me this is what an artist community is about (or what it should be about) and that's helping one another to become whatever they want to be. Iray is so frustrating sometimes, but getting past that initial hurdle and you are not obviously well on your way.
