A one-time assignment, but I loved it. I guess I can also remember that some of my classmates absolutely hated it. Those were probably the same people who loved gouache, which I hated.

Otherwise, who's going to know but me? Though I'm happy to confess when I do manipulate it on the computer. It's just one more tool we have to work with.<br /><br />Andrew, it's always funny to me when someone says they're jealous when I've been beating my head for days on a concept. I thought I had a good idea? Grrr... Thanks for the nice words though. They help when I'm feeling frustrated. Kind of like your idea of putting the bad people all in the same car, but I guess we're supposed to be wishing them love and happiness and stuff? I sort of forgot about posting that about section. I meant to go back and cut it down but got tired. Glad you're awed :) It's pretty mutual.

Congratulations - but I have a gut feeling that you deserve it.<br /><br />You know us poor men have to put up with men like your chap in the car as well. There are some very odd people in the world. Guess we are all crazy, some just hide it better, and some are just a little crazier than others - like sickos. :(<br /><br />Your llustration piece is so well put together. Your work is so flawless - not a scractch out of place. The red on the black zings. Just the right tonal balance, and that wonderful compositional flow.... I'm struggling with my paintings at the moment (acrlyic) so I am feeling jealous :) :)<br /><br />Good luck with the money stuff. It's sad when people take advantage of you.

But with that not all is said about your key (the key to your heart?). <br />I am a mum and I have to learn my daughter the Stranger Danger lesson as well as to learn her to trust her intuition. I also have to learn her to be polite and trust strangers and like Buddhist says 'loving kindness', which resembles Christian 'charity'. <br />There is a saying: 'It needs a community to raise a child'. There is another saying: 'I don't like that community'.<br />I think we need good community to defend our kids.<br />Your key is a great illustration and your texts are always interesting to read.<br />Keep going, Linda!
