It's certainly interesting how they do it. I did some ice skating as a kid but not much in the last 20 years or so because I've been living in the south. Still, I imagine that up in Canada you guys can probably just go out to the nearest pond and do some skating.

Depends. This winter, weather was milder than usual. Other than that, in town, we have ice rinks. I am not a big skater anyway.

Weird, down here our winter has actually been unusually cold for this area.

Things that could happen. Nowadays, many people are too sensitive and claim ecological disaster when the weather pattern is unusual, but I believe that this is merely cyclic.

Right. I think all that stuff about global warming is just a political agenda to provide an excuse to pass more laws.

philippeL In reply to jmsnooks [2010-03-23 02:48:48 +0000 UTC]

I agree... Or this is a diversion to make the man of the street guilty of environment hazards, while big corps are messing around even more...

I think they just want to tax everyone even more, including corporations, some of which certain governments want to drive out of business.

Yeah, it is all tactical.

Thanks! I want to get initiated to digital art, somehow. This does not mean that I put aside traditional art, this is simply matter of exploring new horizons. Also, this picture is based on a pencil sketch that I posted previously.

...I understand,and you are right,we always should explore"new horizons"
It is just that I am so very "stucked on"traditional Art(lol)..

I don't think that is necessary for everyone to try many different things. One could refine just one technique and gets very specialized to it, and this is just fine. But that is the way I was since always.

Me too! I think this is just question of centrifuge force when they skate in circle.
