For a challenge over in the epilogue.net forums - to improve upon something you suck at. I chose watercolour because, well, I suck at it. Hopefully it's a little better now o_O
The picture is based on 3.14... The amount of times that the radius of a circle fits into the circumference of that circle.

They say pi r squared, but you've yet again proven my theory: Pie r ROUND! hehehe Anyway, your artwork is just amazing. I wish I was as good as you.... *stomps away in a fit of jealousy*

Really SWEET!

this is cool * drawn in by the colours * which are good.. verry controled. Watercols seldom do what they're asked and almost never what they're told. though this seems to prove otherwise.
-could be the start of a series maybe: fibinachi ratio... the spiraly ratio of thirds who's name I forget. -or is that fibinachi ? anyway, a series of two. twins ? perhaps.. the trees are growing spiraly so there are kinda two aspects there. -actualy the more I look at this the more there is to see. ( I reallly like your leaves 2

You don't look like you suck at water colours to me. It's going to be fun looking at your art a few at a time before work. This is very lovely. I'd love to visit Ireland but then I'm one of those musician types that like to play Celtic music from time to time. If you find the time, I'd love it if you visited my place in the woods.

Well, I shall say it in one comment, because I really need to go to bed but I got hooked up amiring your work. I really love how you integrate science; or maths in this case, with art. I really like your watercolours, I suck at them and I like challenging myself to use them but it hasn't turned out anywhere as cool as this yet. Finally.. I really like your website and the rosepetals, but mostly the easy acces of it, because that often seens to be a problem. Way to go, and keep it up! You have a very unique and sensual style!

:-) Laura Russell replies: "You've made my day - and hit on all the things closest to my heart (maths, science, rose petals, sensualness, the website). Thanks a million 1"

Ok, if YOU suck at watercolors, I shudder to think of how my watercolor art should be described... Anyways, great picture 2

Hi i like your work rather than oohs and ahhs
i would like to suggest reading a book on chinese
watercolor technique your designs with the looseness
of watercolor and tightness of chinese ink drawings
could really be over the top its not that hard but it does
get some getting used to i love your backgrounds and line work your own your way to pure execellence
besides drawing tone and line is always the prerequisite
for any great painting and watercolours will amaze even you
if your like me im sure your always trying to out do yourself reguardless of what any one else thinks
p.s. since most of your work is black and white u could sell it as fantasy coloring books others may like to colorize them i dont mean to sound childish i just cant think of a better term for what i mean let your right brain out a little more

Whimsical and imaginative. This is a great landscape, infact I wouldn't have noticed you where learning if you hadn't said anything. The design is just so engaging.
