Wow. Simply wow or maybe not so simple. I'm at awe.

I'm the one who should say wow. I almost didn't submit this image but, thanks to your response - and a few others - I'm totally glad that I did! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it - its the reason I'm doing this: To try to share "beauty?" with others...

This reminds me a bit of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'.

Thank you so much: I do think I was influenced by his work! You might want to check out "Starry, Starry Night". He was the inspiration for the title of that piece, if not for the execution.

I saw that one, but this one reminds me more of Van Gogh's work.

Now I may have to experiment with something like that... if I ever get the time. *L*

Go for it! I try to make the time, at the expense of sleep sometimes, but it's all a balance: The emotional lift when I receive positive comments on my artwork help me carry those tough times at work, when I'm tired and sore - it's a yin/yang thing, sort of.

What do you work as? If you don't mind my asking.

I work as a stagehand - mostly in TV. Sorry to hear of your ill health! Is it a temporary setback (I hope!)?

(Replying to both posts here...) I have been out of work for much longer then that. *sighs* I was working in technical support for HP printers, but my job was outsourced to another country and I was laid off. I couldn't find anything else for quite a while, about 7 months, or so (it is amazing, just how useless a bachelors degree in Physics is...). I finally got another job, but it was even higher stress then my last one, and that took its toll. I got sick after only three months, or so, and was laid off for being out sick too often, even though I had a doctor's note saying that I really was legitimately sick for each time. *sighs* That was last April. It took me a month or two to get my health back in a semblance of order, then I finally ran out of savings (already depleted by my previous unemployment), and had to move back in with my mother, as I couldn't afford rent up in Portland any longer. So now I have been looking for work down here, but the desert doesn't really agree with me (or something). I have a weak immune system, and get sick very easily, and when I do, it always lasts longer then it would with most people, and often goes into secondary infections, like sinus infections, or bronchitis. I am hypothyroid, a chronic condition. I take medication for it, of course, but it doesn't seem to work as well for me as for some others, thus the weak immune system, I am guessing. The hypothyroidism, and some joint damage where caused by an auto-immune attack when I was in my teens. *wry smile* As I get older, I seem to get ill more and more easily. But I don't have any one condition that would make me disabled, and eligible for any assistance. It sure makes it hard to find and hold down a job though, when you are sick what seems like half the time. That is one reason I would really like to be able to make a living at photography, or some such. Some parts of which I can do even while sick (or at least part of the time I am sick).
Blargh, anyway, that was probably waaaaay too much information. *wry smile* I tend to rant when the subject of my health and unemployment comes up, because it is just so darn frustrating. So the current bout of illness will no doubt eventually go away, but I am not likely to be able to enjoy decent health for very long before something else starts, if you see what I mean.

I don't consider it too much information! We all have our "back stories", and they are a large part of what made us who we are today. My sister Linda has been going thru a living hell for the last six years as a result of a silly accident - she dropped a picture, sliced a tendon in her foot and has had her life turned upside down ever since. I have had a few setbacks in my life as well...I have written about some of them here and others in a journal I wrote at the time. I sure as hell don't have any answers - though I wish I did!
"You can't fire GOD!" Could you put that in context as to your beliefs? I was raised Roman Catholic but am no longer a believer. It took me a long time to realize that I had become atheistic - and an even longer time to be able to admit it! I believe in the golden rule, that is - Do onto others as you would have them do onto you (I think that's how it goes

Hmm, it would be nice if this country had a better support system, you know, a smaller gap between the very rich, and the very poor, a bit more even distribution of the wealth. (Universal health care!) But then, it is always those without money that want that, and those with money that don't, seemingly. *wry smile*
*L* I meant that purely in reference to DA as its own little universe. It was Jark that thought the first thought that eventually became DA, with some help, so as he conceived of the DA universe, and created it, that would make him the god of it, right? Or at least the top god of the pantheon. Well, that is the way I see it anyway.
I am a Neo-Pagan, with Wiccan tendencies.

I really like this! You should submit all of your work. That is a rule I put on myself because I think when we work on a piece for a long time we lose outside perspective. I never know if any of my work is going to be liked by anyone but I just bite it and submit it anyway because you never know.........lol. This is my favorite of yours so far.

Wow, and that was another work I wasn't even going to submit! I guess there's just no accounting for (my) taste, lol. If i had to choose a favorite of my own that would have been way down the list but, thankfully, different people have different tastes. I guess it would get pretty boring if we all tasted the same

you know
I never ever know if my work is even submitable or not after staring at the suckers for so long. I just keep going til it feels complete and hope someone somewhere enjoys at least one. Sometimes I stare at them so long while I am making them that they come alive with all sorts of silly abstractions (for lack of a better word) that probobly only exist in my own mind......lol

I guess that means you liked it? Thank you very much! I almost didn't submit it...I wasn't sure if it was "good enough". I guess I'm my own toughest critic...Thanks again for the fave!
