Leana, you have quite the artistic imagination!    :clap: :clap: :clap:  I love it! 

I also think you did a splendid job on the cosmos.

You painted a nice soft background and great perspective in the landscape.

Life keeps coming between me and my  :painting:, company coming, obligations, etc.  :(

Oh Lillian  :1hug: ... you really make me feel better about the painting.  :thankyou:  You'd be surprised to see all the imaginative 'pictures' in my head... I said to my husband not so long ago that I so wish I could take photos of them (the imaginative pictures) :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: ... would paint them all  :heeha:

Leana,

The sense of Flight you conveyed in the way you did the flowers is fantastic  O0 O0!! the background is pretty impressive also

I think I'll go move mine deeper in the closet :blush:

Actually, you and the other folks who post their work inspire me to keep going, 

and, Lillian, I've got the same disease....Paintinginturuptous!! :'( :'(  If you find a cure , or at least something that slows down the attacks, please share it :help:

 :2funny: :2funny:  Funny Brian!!!

But the ice is not so funny.  >:(  ...and it's still raining!!!  I'm not going anywhere!

I have nothing on today, so I'll  :painting:   :yippee: 

How about you be a little daring and bring that thing out of the closet and let us see it!   I'm cheering for you.   :cheering:  If you think it's that bad, try another one, ok?  Maybe the replay will help?
