Wallace & Issabella - thank you for your comments.

level-0 - thank you; know how comes with practice, experimentation and of course some frustration

Wallace - thank you. Here is some local fauna.

[oldmangrumpy]

I just happen to like the word ataraxia

[level_0]

OMG

I really like the second one for the geometry and the gradient effect on the rectangles.
You give me ideas!

[oldmangrumpy]

level_0 - thank you; happy to provide ideas if I can. Here's an idea - a new feature for the bathroom.

[level_0]

OMG

At this time of heat wave, it would be good trompe l'oeil on the wall of a building.

[2-ton]

Omg, you are so inventive with your graphics.

[Erisian]

OMG - you are going from great to awesome! Keep delighting us with your creations.

[teapot]

OMG I need that bathroom (way too hot here) and love the cool blue geometry in post #205

[oldmangrumpy]

level_0, 2-ton, Erisian and teapot - thank you for your kind words, they provide me with much encouragement for future works.

Here is one, the subject/illusion of which I classify as 'an oldie but a goodie', a glass chalice on a wooden background, in purple for Wallace.

I agree

Erisian, Wallace and level_0 - thank you.

I got myself 2 new Gimp pets, Pesky Possum and Angry Ollie Owl.

OMG

[oldmangrumpy]

level_0 - thank you; your interest in my work provides an incentive to post

In keeping with the thread title, here is my attempt at a portrait of Glenn Close, who just happens to be the same age as me.

[Erisian]

Nice work on the painting OMG. I can see the likeness.

[Pat625]

Very nice OMG! You are very talented in many areas of art!

[oldmangrumpy]

Erisian and Pat - thank you; it has turned rather windy and cold here (by our standards anyway), so plenty of time for Gimping. Which leads to ... like most senior couples Grandpa Woodentop and Granny Flatsponge do not always see eye to eye.
