PSA

[emmawoodhouse]

This avatar? This avatar you see before you? It is not a dog with a carrot for a nose wearing a fancy hat. It is not mold. It is not a gnome being menaced by jellyfish. It is not a goat with a carrot for a horn. It's a fish. In a pond. With lilypads.

See?

It's beautiful!

Oh man, I'm totally sorry I called your avatar a garden gnome! I didn't realize that you painted it, and it looks different microscopic than it does full size. I feel terrible.

Hmph. <>

Hee. It's OK. I'm hardly claiming to be Monet here, and it DOES look totally different smaller (hence the PSA), and hey -- at least you didn't say it looks like mold!

But now I'm thinking it's like one of those optical illusions -- it's a bunny! No! It's a duck! No! It's a garden gnome! No! It's a still life with carrot!

It could have been worse. (Sometimes a carrot is just a carrot.)

Is that your first painting? It's lovely!! I'm very impressed.

[emmawoodhouse]

Awww. blushes. It's really not that impressive, but it was fun to do. I'm thinking of going more stylized and David Hockney esque for the next one.

Oh, YAY! I got to see it before it retired! Ok, my life is complete now that I've seen the Acid Fish.

I love it and think it's gorgeous.
