Description
One of the biggest problems I have had as a conventional artist, and to the same extent as a digital artist, is to know when to say when. I have overworked pictures to death. Sometimes what you don't do is just as important as what you do, or what you emphasize, and what you leave to the veiwers descretion can make or break a picture. With this one I have made a real attempt to stop and just say this is done, so lets see what you think, and I hope you enjoy, Thank each and everyone of you for your kind comments, and I hope you continue to enjoy my work. This was done with two different programs, PSP7 and Photoshop, all by hand......John
