Description I had a lot of fun working on this one. In fact I may do more pieces with GOLD! I like the shiny. The hair was also a bunch of fun to dream up.

this is a piece for my AP portfolio, so hope you like. any comments about it's quality?

also, those are real flowers on there, just in case you were wondering. glueing those things down was kind of a NIGHTMARE! haha (it wasn't so bad)

I'm sure she'll love it. My wife and I used pansies as "our flower" during our wedding; they're kind of a thing with us.

I love how you've incorporated so many cool elements into this... the gold background and the real flowers. It's really mesmerizing. The blue hair is just plain awesome, too.

You've probably heard all this before but - I think this is one of the most incredible pieces I've seen so far. The hair (tree-layery, and rooty! And striking blue colour tones/contrast gold) and the mixed media - I really want to start doing stuff like that - really freeing/inspiring.

This is great. The line work is very nice & the colors. It is unusual and I think is must be even better in person.

Of course it was a compliment. I just mean if you look at everything that has been posted in tad. paintings-fantasy recently, you will not see anything quite like this... I check out your gallery too... Very nice... You have a wide range of art abilities. I'm quite jealous actually. keep up the amazing work.

thanks so much, that's a very high compliment! I'll have to check out your gallery as well. And yeah, people have told me that my gallery is very varied. I hope that's a good thing, at the same time though I wish I could develope a definite kind of style. mmm oh well!

Having a style is okay for some, but for others it is like being stuck in a rut. I'm sure you will be fine either way.
