I can only do all my art and Flickr activity on 'quiet' weekends or holidays, so forgive me the lateness of my replies.

I love artists who are fearless with a sense of soul: full of meaning or grit, surreal, defying ideals, with music and photos flowing like paintings, or paintings fascinatingly ugly or too real. I don't care what medium art is on; when it works, it works.

For those who have faved, commented, awarded and encouraged my efforts, thank you. And a special thanks to you my dead heroes: Rodin, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Velazquez, Ingres, Da Vinci, Holbein, Dali, Picasso, and Cezanne.

The shots I mess with often end up nothing like the originals; I have a thing for virtual brushes, and to me, that's where the art fun begins... And I've finally braved adding poems, my other art love :)
