Artist's Comments

Thank you Josy, you never cease to amaze me with your wonderful words of support. I can only imagine the kind of sweetheart you are in person. Keep being yourself, in going out of your way to show a person such support and offer such kind words, you yourself are an inspiration.

This thank you also extends to the many other people that offer me guidance and comfort with their words along with their art. Just know that they are never overlooked and always appreciated. All of those that have left me comments in the past, however silly, indepth or otherwise, they have managed to lift me up and bring me that very inspiration that guides me not only through the obstacles of the art world but also life itself. I wish all of you the very best in your life's journeys, I have no doubt you all will touch the lives of many others with your unselfish gestures...just as you have touched me.

Thank you.

(This picture symbolizes the simple goodness that I encounter as I continue along my journey of life. It is truly a glorious feeling to be greeted with comments of cheerful support from people who hardly know you. More than just heartwarming, the unselfish gift of genuinely kind words, are truly inspiring. The character pictured belongs to: . I had no intention of doing this picture at all but her words touched me so along with the others that I have been receiving, I just followed the course of inspiration. The image too was partially inspired by a photo featured on national geographic's page for the new documentary film on the Kalahari Lions: [link] specifically: [link] . I always especially loved the soft colors the morning sun conjured amidst the Kalahari grasses.)

Wow. That's just beautiful! I just feel like reaching out and stroking that silky fur :) I really love those grasses and how they get more blurry as it comes closer to the 'camera.' This is one of your best works yet!

I can't give words to express how beautiful this is, balaa! I'm sure Josy will love it :)

Not to diss your work, because it is fantastic - but the brightly coloured eyes every time? :-X That aside, it's excellent as always ;) I keep trying to draw my dog but I fall flat when doing the fur :giggle:

True. Though it would be great to see you use your talents for non-disney style humanized portraits of these beasts.
