thanks...hope to have more paintings to post soon. it's amazing how one painting can un lock so many ideas to an artist. but knowing what you can pull off and what you can't is the key. I guess i was a little frustrated to say the least. cause i felt like i was limited to what i could pull off. now i think there's so much more that i can do. so i look forward to what is about to come... I feel like i have turned a corner as far as my gimp art is concerned. i think i have taken a step in the right direction. i guess all those days and nights of doing paintings that just don't work really do pay off in the end. i guess it is true you learn from mistakes as much as you do from any other thing.
