Tag As FavoriteComment		This little ranger she-Elf was walking through the woods and decided to take a break. This is unfinished because I'm intimidated by my vision; the background is going to be based on a landscape picture I took in Colorado last summer...

I'd like to know what you mean by "intimidated by my vision."

:-) Julianne Dodds replies: "I wanted to have a very detailed background, but at the time I simply didn't have the skills needed to achieve my vision. Although I'm no longer interested in the completion of this picture, I have been able to acquire the skills that I needed then. Does that make sense to anyone else?"

Yes. I think you mean, as Jeremy (in Zits) put it once, "My music is always better than it sounds." The imagination outstripped the skills. You imagined things you weren't yet able to create.

:-) Julianne Dodds replies: "Exactly. And that is why painting is one of the most depressing things I'm addicted to."

Woa!.....sorry...it got messed up above. The first few lines should be...I like to see an artists thought process and this is the framework of an idea...a thought.....crazy machine.

Looks perfect just the way it ight process and this is the framewrk of an idea...a thought. A picture is completed when left to stand alone and this one stands quite nicely.
I feel comfortable with this one as is.
Excellent.

:-) Julianne Dodds replies: "Well James, you can have this picture. I don't want it. I'll tear it out of my sketchbook and throw it at the computer and maybe you'll get it.But seriously, I do like what you said. I think it's a little silly to comment on this picture (almost as silly as me keeping it posted) but thanks."
