Hey, welcome to da woods! Your art is very sweet and tho I'm certainly no expert you show a lot of promise, so keep pracising!

Welcome to the woods and keep up the good work! (talkin' about clichés eh...^^)

*high fives her fellow Jesus-freak* I admire your boldness! What a great start on a gallery you have here! I'd have to say the mermaid is my favorite, and the coloring on all of your work is wonderful. Welcome to the woods and keep me tuned on updates if you don't mind!

On a sadder note...I came to your gallery through a comment of yours on Mike Amos' gallery. I just found out tonight that he passed away a couple of weeks ago.... I personally only knew him through his art...but if you wanted to leave a comment in his guestbook, here's his URL, just in case you need it again:

Once again, beautiful art you have here, we want more! Wonderful shading and use of color.

Hi Mary, Great Art work! I am actually interested in your family background though? Are you a Sternick or did you marry into the family?? email when you get a chance, Thanks
Sincerely, Shawn Sternick

Even I can do better...this sucks, my friend.

Enjoyed the artwork. My children and I love fairies. I, as well as, Shawn, am researching my family history. There are not too many Sternicks out there. I would be interested in knowing if we have any relation. Send me more info and I will reply.

I love your floating mermaid picture

Never stop drawing. You have natural talent and an eye for proportions that will work well for you as you continue in your training. Keep your spark for originality and practice, practice, practice. Artists are made from years of work; only the affinity to art is God-given. You have what it takes if you are willing to work, work, work at it! Try interpreting scripture sometime, just as an exercise (it can be a form of praise and worship) Best wishes from one artist to another-- ignore criticism that is not constructive, May God bless!

Hi, Mary keep up the good work...
Chris and Vicki
