Melissa G, Tania, Susan, Nikki, Lynne, Melissa O., Lynn, Fennifer, Tiia, Harmeet, Janet, Tammy, Karen, Ann, Danielia, Patrick, Nina, Kathy, Eivor, Shannon, Rajeev, Reynaldo, Susie, Lisa-
Good morning everyone. Hope it leads to a storm free day and you can enjoy it. When I first started my gallery I swore I would never do flowers because there are to many great people out there that I could'nt hold a candle to.
Then I found I was outclassed in every catagory. So I just decided that I would have to learn and be patient with myself. One of the things that has kept me going is the wonderful support you have all given me. Along with the support though the visits and encouraging comments, I got the added joy of meeting some wonderful people like yourselves and developed friendships.
I know I still have a long way to go but I thank each of you for any improvements in my works. Your works continue to be an inspiration and a learning tool for me.
You all have a most wonderful day, be safe out there, live life to the full. #6042984

Nancy (Peaches) Harker June 10, 2008

I thought you said you wouldn't do a flower LESS it had a bug or butterfly on it LOL!

Don't worry about being in a clas with everyone else, we all go at our own pace and all know so many different things than other's do.
You will learn and are improving EACH day, you HAVE come a LONG way.

Super color, clarity, lighting and your doing a FANTASTIC job on blurring the bg. Very pretty buddy!
Have a wonderful day!
