Enigma Of The Yellow Rose

Roses must have been created to give pleasure (ignoring the thorns which may remind us there is always pain, too, but the good far outweighs the bad). Many thanks, Kathryn

My heart breaks for you - I can't even imagine life without my husband and I can understand why the urge to paint flew out the window for awhile. What a wonderful man he was to give you flowers like that:>) If my gallery can give you some happiness, I am deeply honored, my dear. I am certain you carry him with you all the time and he fills your heart.

I'm so honored and pleased you like this, Joyce. You are the queen of enhanced art and I am merely a student! Thank you, my dear:>)

Thanks, Buddy:>) I love the Elvis V/F - keeps me from being blue:>)

Good morning, Hanne:>) Thank you for the lovely compliment, V/F, and your work is so great!

Hi, Priyanka! You're a sweetheart to stop by - thank you for the nice comment!

You are boosting my confidence greatly, Jolanta! Thanks so much for the V/F and the marvelous compliment:>)

I am strictly self-taught and have only begun to scratch the surface:>). Everything I learn leads to more questions and possibilities yet there are things I want to do and cannot find anything to help. These difficult things I generally stumble upon an answer at some point, so patience is the word. Thank you for the lovely compliment:>). Like fractals, the options are practically endless and I spend hours messing around and end up with a bunch of images then have to choose just one or two - sigh. I want it all, and I want it now! (Thank you, QUEEN, and Freddie Mercury).

Thank you bunches, Marsha! Corel is quite good, I understand, but Photoshop works well with MAC and I began with it and continue to teach myself stuff - a loooooong way to go but having fun:>). I believe you can use textures in Corel but not totally positive. Go to Shadowhouse Creations ( http://shadowhousecreations.blogspot.com/search/label/Tutorial ) and look around. Good luck:>)

Hi, Nicole:>) How's your daughter doing? Feeling wonderful, I hope and how are your nerves holding up? Thank you for the nice comment:>)
