kjgordon
a beautiful feature….......great how you created the shadow….I feel the shadowing is so important to a painting….......but then again what do I know….......ha
Janis Zroback replied
You must know a lot…it shows…
BTW…..My computer won’t write the letters KJ…it’s so funny…it comes up with all kinds of versions of your name..I generally have to type it instead…if I grumble about it, it types the grumble and I have to delete it.. LOL
Here are some of the versions of KJ that it types…key gay… gay gay…
I just now grumbled again and it wrote it perfectly this time…. KJ…. LOL… I just realized that I did not say that I speak to my computer… typing is such a chore… I have no problem doing it, I just don’t like it… it’s tedious…
I never learned to type the right way, so I use all the wrong fingers… speaking to the computer is so much easier… it’s just that some names like yours are difficult for it to interpret… I have to train it with names like yours that are unusual… just have not got around to it yet, but I think it has picked it up anyway as it just typed it correctly.

Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Catherine… I’m so pleased that you like it… by now you know that I love to paint food, and prefer to do that more than anything else…

Oh my ..speaking to the computer….............how novel….......
but I am honored you have to actually take the time to type my name….......
Imagine if my name was Ozymandias.....
my favorite poem of all time….....
Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley_ met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away_
Janis Zroback replied
This is absolutely glorious news… Ozymandias is one of my most favorite poems… I know it by heart and I am always quoting it… a few years ago we saw a documentary about the aftermath of the second world war…. they were going through parts of Europe, mostly eastern Europe, and in the back of a deserted farm, partly hidden in some long grass was a huge metal statue of Stalin, all broken in pieces…. the first thing my husband and I said to each other when we saw this was ” look upon me ye mighty and despair”... he knows the poem by heart too…. situations like this are always coming up…. the poem is so appropriate to life even in these days….
I no longer have to type your name… the computer can type KJ very easily now… it’s probably going nyah nyah to me right now…
Linda Callaghan
congratultions Janis…...just read you talk to your computer….how cool is that.!! I have been typing since school, graduated from college in Secretarial Studies so no worries with my typing at all….but talking to the computer sounds like fun! well until it wont type what you want lol eg. KJ :-D good news on the feature
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Linda… it’s spells your name perfectly… LOL… anyway it’s fine with KJ now… once I’ve done it a few times it gets it… its in the vault… speaking to the computer instead of typing, is a dream…. there is a long cord and because it knows my voice I can do other things and still talk to it… the noise of the TV or other noises don’t interfere…
Ron Moss
