Thank you!

When I was originally asked to do this piece, I was sent samples of other work that were slated for the book. Although the work was well done, a lot of it was...I'm not sure how to put it--I guess more dark, of a masculine feel. Most of the artists who were tapped were guys, and their drawings represented traditional American comic books. After seeing this, I thought it would be good to go for a lighter, feminine look. I also thought it would work best if I did use a variety of women, to keep it from looking too static. It was fun deciding how to dress them and pose them.

This is a wonderful section of scripture, and I know I've got to keep working at it myself to live up to its ideals.

Thank you for 'riting it!

Why, thank you, Nat, for your kind observations on my art! You are forgiven for not taking a look sooner. I don't always remember to check out the work of those who've commented on mine.

I consider myself a cartoonist primarily, so I definitely don't see myself as a fine artist. Also, I have very little training--I'm primarily self-taught. Couldn't find anyone in my area teaching the kind of art I wanted to learn, and the ones who were teaching art around here were kind of...well...flaky. The limited computer training I've had has mostly come from my husband, bless his heart, when he has the time.

The muscular lady is supposed to represent a Polynesian woman. We have a number of Hawaiians and Samoans living in my area. The Samoans are rather large people, although the women are beautiful. They make me think of amazons.

I'll have to see if I can find that Proverb!

I told my husband your comment about snowshoes--"robust cousins." He liked that. I've heard that the legend regarding Siamese is that they were the offspring of a monkey and a lion . That's true about Gus, our snowshoe, who seems to be more monkey than anything else.

Again, thanks, Nat, for those nice comments! Made my evening!

Thank you! Boy, that's three votes for "more like it." Gotta get off the duff and get to it, I guess, now that my computer's working again.

Thank you! This one gets favored a lot, along with its companion piece. I really ought to try more like it, when I get the chance.

Thanks! I'm a siamese fan (hence my username--"meezer"--siamese--mese--meez--meezer) . We have three of them (well, one is a snowshoe, but that's just a meezer wearing socks with milk on its chin). So I just had to add a meezer to the pic.

I love cats in general. They're so sweet.
