Lovely Living Quarters

I really searched for a spot where I could find good color for the background, trying to 'better my composition skills'....................kind regards, Gail

My appreciation for your very kind words of critique, truly encouraging.

Most sincerely, Gail

I'm so glad you liked the yellow frame Donnna, in the summer I love to head towards the colors of the Caribbean, and Mexico (etc) so cheerful and lively.

Always enjoy hearing form you, thankyou for those encouraging words, most appreciated, Gail

I referred to this pic with a friend of mine today.  This friend is an amateur artist, who is starting to make sales all over the place.  Anyway, she had a piece of different line sketches she made and some were made by kids and she placed it on a backdrop she'd made of swirling vibrant colors.  When I studied it, I saw the backdrop really made more than 75% of the pic; it allowed for the simplicity of kid drawings and of course things were elevated with her own.  But my comment above sort of encapsulated what she did but with drawing and pastel.  Just thought you'd like to know that your work is memorable, sticks to me, and was the topic of a conversation as a way of description

Many thanks for sharing that with me, I bet she is a lovely painter, I really liked the DOF in this image as well, the soft background colors were so pretty when I first saw the thumbnail, couldn't resist working on it......truly appreciate you writing, sincerely, Gail
