Wow, I love the innocent expressions on their faces. Reminds me of water babies, go knows why. 12

Step aside, Anne Geddes ;o) This is adorable! They look so lively and happy! And the colors are wonderful, I've never seen such smooth technique with paint before! You really use the various media well 19) This is the perfect picture for spring...it makes me think of sunshine and flowers and easter and baby animals and everything else that goes with the time of year ;o)

:-) Karen May replies: "Thank you Erin - everything that the picture made you think of is everything that I wanted it to convey so I,m a very happy bunny. (I didn't know who Anne Geddes was until today. Her images are very cute and funny but they seem to be photos(?) and I promise that my ideas are my own.)"

Are you for real ? Wow!

:-) Karen May replies: "Thank you."
2 Apr 2004:-) Santiago Díaz González
wow! You can draw really well what I can't: real-looking things =)

:-) Karen May replies: "Thank you Santiago. I have to say, i've looked at your work and you do draw 'real looking things'. Your work truly expresses your personality and you capture the essence of feelings incredibly well. Go and do some more."

Absoloutly adoreable faeries, being born from flowers as well. The landscape and the flowers are so pretty, very detailed and almost realistic, brilliant work Karen i wish i could paint flowers like that.

:-) Karen May replies: "Lindzy, art is about many things, not just being realistic. Your work has a really compelling feel to it. I think that you are going to develop into something quite special. Don't doubt yourself!"

I loove the one on the bottom!!! Soooo cute! *bows down for the Real Talent*

:-) Karen May replies: "You're embarrassing me, but thank you anyway. Speaking of 'talent', you have plenty of your own. 'Norwegian Troll' and 'Fairy with waterlilys' are both quite exceptional and unique. Keep it up!"

Your pictures are sooo cute, I think you should make wish cards and more!

:-) Karen May replies: "I'll just send you my wishes for now. Thanks Leonie."
