Violets And Grapes

Wow Dave…..what a wonderfully poetic comment. You’re a writer as well as an artist. Thank you so much for this….my heart is warmed. :-)

Oh you do make me laugh with a comment like that Joseph. Don’t you dare take those batteries out of your camera for any reason other than to recharge them!! :-D

I’m so glad you like my still life pieces. Thank you very, very much.

Oh my gosh…. I got a phhhhhttttt from you!! :-D :-D I love it. LoL

Jan, thanks so much for this comment. I was unsure about this one and I let it sit for a while before I held my breath and clicked ‘show this work to others’.....so thank you for such a detailed comment.

Ha! Your skin is green? You should see mine everytime I look at “Freedom” or “Little Shivers” or “Dearly Departed” or “Sunday Afternoon”. Hey, what’s Sunday Afternoon doing so many pages back on your gallery anyway? That’s such a stunner…..shouldn’t it be on the front page of your profile?

Carolyn, I will confess to you I’m a bit overwhelmed at such wonderful and generous responses to this. I so appreciate the kindnesses and at the same time I’m so aware of how much I have yet to learn. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement and please keep sending your advice….your eyes and opinion are highly valued.

LoL Bonnie….THIS from the woman who produced “To My Sweetheart”? Now THAT is a flawless work!!! I’m so glad you like this one…I’m always a bit hesitant before I post a photo and I was especially so with this one so your comment is very much appreciated! :-)

Thank you so very much Lorilee! :-)

Janis, this is such a lovely comment and I so appreciate your words. Thank you very much. I really do hope to expand my horizons in still life photography and your wonderful encouragement makes me want to keep on keeping on. :-)

Oh thank you Joanne!! I really appreciate your use of the word ‘romantic’ for that is what I was attempting in this. I’m so very glad you like it! :-)

Wow!!! This is so exciting Beve….thank you SO much for the feature in a group filled with beautiful work!!! :-D :-D

What a lovely comment Carol!!! Thank you VERY much!!! :-)

A comment so much appreciated Anaa and especially that it’s from someone who does such spectacular still life!!!! Thank you so much! :-)

Thank you Kathy! I woke up this morning and saw all these lovely comments and I was just overwhelmed…and so very grateful. :-)

Thank you so very much Linda! :-)

Thank you Anna! I do hope to continue producing more still life….it’s just so much fun. :-)

Oh Rose….that’s so good to hear. Thank you very much! :-)

Thanks Linskudd! :-)

And now I’ve discover your gallery!! Wow Wow Wow Walker!!! Your work is FABULOUS and I truly thrilled to see it. Thank you so much for this lovely comment….and especially because it’s led me to your stunning work! :-)

Wow Sandra! Thank you SO much!!!!!!!!! What an honour to be featured in the group. You’ve spread the happiness!! :-D

Oh Sandra….thank you so very much. You’re always so very generous with your comments and it’s such an encouragement. I really appreciate it! :-)

Thank you Barb!!!! Very, very much! :-)

Dottie, I thank you very much for this lovely comment. I’m so glad you like this!!! :-)

Thank you so much Kate my friend….for the comment and for the favouriting!! :-)

Thanks Winterrose! :-)

Lois, thank you soooo much! :D I’m really glad you think keeping it soft was a good idea! :)

Wow Sandy…..thank you so very much. I’m so glad you like the still life stuff I’ve been doing. I’m actually working on putting together a Blurb book…not for sale really but just as a way of having photos all collected in a simple format…..and it uses up a WHOLE lot less room in the house than too many prints. I made a Blurb book for my daughter at Christmas with pictures of her two little girls….400 pictures, 168 pages and although it tooks more hours than I imagined to get it all together the quality astonished me. So the next project is underway!

Thank you very much Renee!! :-)

I think I’ve found it too Heather. If happily doing something is the criterion then I know I have. I just love this kind of photography and processing. :-) Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!

Thank you so much Taschja…. I’m rather glad you had to look and look because the goal was to give this a painted look. :-D

Rachel, thank you so much for such an enthusiastic comment and for the favouriting. I appreciate it! :-)

Oh my goodness….thank you Donna! What an extremely kind comment and I truly appreciate it. :-)

David, I thank you for such a wonderful comment. You know, sometimes I feel as if I’m wandering through a labyrinth artistically where there are many staircases included. Climbing those stairs (learning curves) is a bit daunting at times but if progress is being made then it’s all good. There are many more learning curves ahead. :-)

Thank you SO much Justine! What a lovely comment! :-)

Awwwww…..thank you very much Annie!! I so much appreciate your encouragement! :-D

Thank you Antanas! :-)

LoL Rosalie! I like the sound of country cottage much better than girley! Thanks for the lovely comment! :-)

A great big WOOOHOOO from me to you Taschja! Thank you SO much for the feature! What a delightful surprise to find this after being away for a few days! :-D

Sandra, you make me blush! Thank you so much!!!!! :-D

Wow!!! Thank you so much Sharon!!! That’s fantastic. I’ve been ‘under the weather’ for a few days so I’m just seeing this now. How exciting!!! :-)

Thank you Nira! I’m so glad you like it!! :-)
