Isn't that weird?! I'm under the impression that Dance Thumbalina is even more stunning in your EW gallery than on AW! One of my favourite pieces among your very beautiful artworks... 1

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Perhaps that is because I altered the colour saturation so it's more like the original Greg. I also replaced the one in my AW gallery with the better coloured version.Check your gallery Greg, I haven't recieved an e-mail from them yet, I only found out this was posted by checking where my ticket was.Imagine my face when it was taking me through the uploading sequence instead! LOL!"

This is beautiful, the grace in the picture is very evident and probibly would do better without the frog. With it it simply reminds you of the dangers.

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Thank you Sam, I know what you mean but he is a very important part of the story and picture. And because it was for a competition that specified "Fairy Tales" I had to turn the picture into a pictorial story, not just a tiny dancing girl. *Hugs!*"

Aha! THIS is the little twirp that's kicking my tail at Art Duel. (;

Very good... I LOVE the reflections and the pose is very expressive. I couldn't do reflections like that if my life depended on it! As with a lot of your work, this one could use a little more color-contrast... I.e., warmer hightlights and cooler shadows. Great work!

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Thank you Jennifer *Hugs!* I'm sorry this reply is so late arriving. Will you forgive me?"

Out of all the pictures in your gallery, this is the one that wouldn't let me go! It's beautiful! The colors are so well blended and are very harmonious, giving it a very serene feeling. I love the froggy!=)

I love iris, particularly the wild yellow iris which grow in our country at the end of Spring. And I love frogs. I love how you coulours your pictures and your imagination. So, of course, I love this picture.

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Thank you Anne, I love iris also 2"

Wow... I love the colours and the contrasts, and the flowers are really well drawn! The reflections are good too! And Thumbalina’s proportions are excellent too, as is her pose. ^^

:-) Steph Steph Salt replies: "Thank you Desiree 2"
