"Buzzing Universe" by Joanne Louise Sheard

Wow--this is gorgeous! So rich in color and texture!

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "  Thank you Jean.....Sorry for replaying so late but I hope all is well with you? Jo "

I don't know if you ment for this to be this way or it is just my imagination but if you look in the discription and at the bottom it says "added". And if you look just below the word and into the picture at that small dim star you'll find that just to the left of it there is that grayish, purplish, bluish hue. Well to me that kinda looks like the head of a dragon, see what I meen? er, uh maybe you don't but thats just something I spotted that looked kinda kool.

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "  Hmmmmmmm ignore the 'added' I will deal with it some other time..... But your right I can see a dragon to... Like I said before I just went with the flow. I was really tired. But my imagination was loving it so I couldn’t stop.... thanks for commenting Sophie.... And I not really have tips on colouring but I will look in for you. I am not really good at colouring. Luv Jo"

I think it is absolutely stunning! very first painting you say? Wow that is very hard to believe. the dove looks so peaceful amid the swirling stars and colors. Like all of your peices this is very interesting to look at, I think I am going to submit this comment and stare at it a bit more!

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "Thank you!!!!!!!! I wasn’t going for a galaxy but I was just going for a pattern..... But I got into the flow.... "

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "  Thank you Anja.... I really fully enjoyed doing this painting... But I've got a long way to go.. (sigh) Oh well luv Jo"

Really a universe full of life...! Your pictures always are so full of interesting things to look at...Love the dove, hope she comes with peace!
I think you improves your art and your own unique style, please keep me noted on your updates and keep painting!
A big hug from Anne

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "   Anne thank you very so much for your warm comment. The dove is representing a peaceful universe I am glad you that think I am improving... I will paint again some time thanks a lot all the best luv Jo... Hugs back"

It was really stunning but a bit hard to understand I liked that It added depth to the piece. The dove you said was an afterthought but I think its more of the focal point

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "So true I am glad I thought of the dove.... Thank you for your comment luv Jo"

This picture is maybe the most impressive in your gallery, and represents your style very well at the same time. Your imagination flows without borderline or break, all the time I was going through your gallery I had the feeling your pictures blend with each other, making it one fluent stream of ideas, colours and feelings. Your art is very distinctive as you paint more feelings than shapes, but I'm afraid sometimes the lack of skills in those shapes devalue the final impression. But still your art can be more impressive than some pretty, technically perfect drawings - you're drawing your life, your own soul, and this way I believe you can even make it among professionals. It's a long way, but it is possible for you - and I don't say this often

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "  Veronika I have no idea what to say to this comment. Believe me if you can see that though my pictures then you are one amazing person... I drew mostly how I feel and what I want to come though out my artwork and this piece I did not hold back at any moment. But I've always wanted to make my drawings pretty but yet powerful... I feel I have been influenced by Josephine Wall in the past year.. Since I have joined Elfwood in the last year I have drawn more then every before and really started to practice... That's the key but in some ways yes I do want to become an artist to sell her work. That's a long way off but even when I am low I must remember to try and keep improving. I am now just coming out of depression and I have noticed that I am not drawing my feeling as much for now I want to create artwork and I hope the next couple of uploads I will start bring out new ideas and bring some realism in my pictures. Thank you once again luv Jo"

reminds me of a christmas tree when I was small. keep up the brilent work Joanne x

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "Wow thanks for sharing, it's nice to hear... thanks once again, luv Jo"

lovely work Jo!!! keep it up

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "Thank you for all your comments and spending time looking at my artwork!!!! luv Jo"

This is just lovely... I love the dark, deep feeling it gives - not dark as in gloomy but as in a picture with very many perspectives behind it... Also, the dove makes a beautiful contrast...
Great job dear, keep it up.

Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "Thank you Kajsa, I just went for it... Just playing around and making a load of mess at the same time. Hope your well , Thanks for popping around.... I hope you take care love Jo x x x "
