I'm reminded of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells. Anyone else?

beautiful scenery, the colors and lighting are very nice, and the focal point is well visible, despite being relatively small

Must say, the composition is very well-balanced.

I don't say this that often but this is one painting I'd die for to have painted. My respect.

I didn't take the time to comment on this originally -- but I love the feel this one gives off. Like, wide open spaces. Room to breathe -- and time to forget to breathe when you spot that feline shape in the distance. Blink and she's gone --!!

I like pictures that make me feel things. I feel with this one.

DensePudding [2005-06-16 04:08:28 +0000 UTC]

Lovely scene. I love the billowing clouds, and the look of the rolling grass of into the distance. Interesting looking trees, too; different from what I usually see, and end up doing myself when I draw them. The little specks of white in the water is something I've never thought of doing, and it looks really nice.

Anyway, very nice picture. Congratulations on getting the DD. ^^

lionwolfenganger [2005-06-16 01:12:12 +0000 UTC]

here's a riddle i've been thinking about for some time, and although it's odd i just know that it's legitamite because there is some reason to it:

if a doghouse were floating in the middle of the ocean, how many pentagonal pizzas would fit in it?
Purple, because ice cream doesn't have bones.

(it makes certain sense in the sort of frame of mind you have while tripping really hard and relations are important as solid matter)

Also:
There are two simple rooms. In one room are 3 lights in the ceiling. in the other room are 3 light switches. There is one door connecting the rooms and it can only be opened once, meaning that from the room with the switches you can only enter the room with the lights ONCE, and not return again to the switches. there is once switch for each light. how do you find which switch goes to which light?

Just ask if you can't figure it out but really, it's just common sense.
