Catching Up & A New Manip

[mary5958]

I just got back from Montana a few days ago and have been dedicating my free time to my gardens since then. They're almost done - yeah!! I can't wait to spend some time catching up on LJ over the next few days - I owe a lot of comments and need to reply to many. It will get done. :-) I hope everyone is well

oh that is simply stunning lady!! Seriously, beautiful and flawless. I particularly love the texture of her lips and the way they totally play off of the softness of the swirls of her cape and hair!

What a lovely compliment - thank you so much!

It's always interesting to me how different items in a piece of fan art, or different aspects to it, strike each viewer differently. I enjoy hearing what appeals to people - what catches their eye. So thanks for letting me know! :-)

It os trylu a beautiful piece. I admire how you always vlend the faces perfectly with the painted bases...

Thank you so much! It can be a real bugger getting a photo to look like it belongs in a painting - I'm thrilled that you think I succeed at it! :-)

I am totally keeping my eyes open for more work from this artist. I just love what s/he did with the colors and textures. The romantic feel helped make it really fun to work with.

Glad you think I did it justice - thank you! *hugs*
