Well, to get a decent portrait of me, I have to do a selfie.
When others take my picture...I look old.I'm thrilled you find my
work so 'bewitching.' I love to go for paint textures, fantasy
and surreal-ness. But I am thrilled you used the word "Poetic."
Very cool words and I thank you sincerely...I send you a ...

Β Yes, this portrait is theΒ work of a "pro" in photo! The way the face and the light ( in the water)Β blend is as poetic as evocative.
Β Your work isn't poetic: it IS poetry and fantasy,, beyond words. Be sure that i never use a word without choosing it carefully! Sometimes, it's really agreeable to wander throuigh your gallery, just to dream, and forget the negative side of life! ( My English isn't better than your French!)

Hi Yvette. I'm still certainly looking forward to receiving a simple
jpeg photo of your watercolor purchases. Just curious to see them in
their new home. Hope you're doing well. While still feeling the effects of
43 radiation sessions, my urologist declared me cancer free today.
So, I am happy for that. Now, I shall start work on finding relief for
my sciatica back issues. I'm no longer 30....so nice to hear from you.
I can send along an email address through the regular messaging
system... thanks for writing and take care.
Hugs...richard

Oh THANKS, so much. I put just my photo (no Purgatory Creek) as my FACEBOOK'
photo...and one of my Mexican relatives SHARED it on his Timeline!!!!!!!!
Ha Ha...whoa! By the way, I got an answer back from the DA Help Desk...
and the bloomin' thing disappeared. Anyway, in response to my inquiry as
to why we can't do MULTITPLE REPLIES, he wrote simply:
"I'm sorry. That would not be possible." Β Β I had to laugh, because I am
going to interpret that as: " So sorry. That would not be DESIRABLE."
I'm 100% convinced they COULD DO IT...
Hugs too...

Gosh ..you got a quick reply .When I asked about a bug going around i sent pics of what it was doing like rows of funny letters in long lines and couldn't edit anything..went on for two weeks .No help..Except they said send them pics of the letters .which I did...Nothing happened.Then a young friend of mine changed my server for me and they disappeared...That's the only time I asked for help in 7 years. ..

I'm sorry, Trish....I've never had much luck with CS either. I believe they have a vastly different agenda than the members they serve. Personally, I think they want us glued to DA,all de live-long day. It's $$$ I suppose. And it's not that I'm not grateful for THANK YOUS.
I'd rather be struggling with trying to save a painting....

Hey....thanks for letting me know. Hope you find the peace AND
have some fun...where you VACAT(ion)E your usual routine, and do something
entirely different...Tell me about it when you return...
Be safe....Β

Well I just lost the response I had written to this.
In summation: I have taken so many shots of birds..
but I don't post them on DA, but on FB, FACEBOOK.
If you feel like connection on FB, let me know. I don't know how
to request friends yet...and I'm spending way too much time
on there. Anyway,,, glad you're home safely and had some
great moments...Β Richard
