Description
© Coral McBride --- Do not alter or use without my permission."Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." ~ Sir Walter Scott
A thief can only take what you own but a liar can take all that you are. Eventually the liar becomes so tangled in their web of lies that they can't break free. Lies can cause irreparable harm not only to the recipient but also to the person telling them and the bigger and blacker the lie the harder it can come back and bite you.
Created in Photoshop CS2 and painted using a Wacom tablet.

Well, I already thought that you were a sweetie Jodi and now you have confimed it I never submit an artwork and say "I could have done better" because I really do the best that I can, with the knowledge that I have at that time but I never think that it is good enough and probably never will. The positive result of this is that it pushes me to try harder, which is a good thing but doesn't help self esteem.. The latest work that is almost finished took an eternity.....way too long and when this happens it cripples my confidence. Every time I open it I see another mistake.....aaaarrrghh! It will be uploaded this week regardles

I am just being honest
I know what you mean , I have had pieces like
that myself and it annoys me to no end and I
end up submitting them here just because I am
tired of looking at it trying to perfect it and
generally , it's a hit with my watchers and
passer-bys which always boosts the esteem
you're too hard on yourself
I wish I had just a smidgen of your talent
