Catching up update.

I have gone through all several thousand of my deviation notifications glancingly(which took a long time.

I faved a few, hoping to comment later (I try not to fave without commenting) and made a mental note to go look at your gallery on a few of you, and then erased all the notifications (about 6 months worth of them, I think).

From now on I am gonna check my comments and deviations twice a day and anything which I don’t have time to answer I will delete at the end of the week, but I will still look at everything, at least glancingly. I’ll just do it once a week rather than waiting 6 months or so.

Hopefully this will have become habit by the time school starts, so I won’t have to quit DA while I am in School.

I’m gonna stop watching some people who post vast amounts of stuff and who never comment on mine. I assume they won’t mind.

We have been DA friends for a little over a year. I’m not really sure how we met, but I’m glad we did. Her paintings make me want to paint, her photos make me want to make costumes and pose people in them and take photos. The hard things about doing these features Is picking only three things to show off here. I like many different things in her gallery. So go look for yourselves.

She is also a very nice person, leaves me comments and even helps me find typos in my writing I love when people do that for me

Thanks, ~Glinadaro ! and thanks for volunteering to be featured here.

This is a beautiful drawing:

I haven’t yet read the book it is about, but I have been wanting to and seeing illustrations like this makes me want to even more. Those wolves look so lifelike. I know they are trying to kill him, but they just look so soft I want to pet them.


This is a cool painting and it has a story/poem to go with it, so to fully appreciate this you have to go read the poem, not just look at the painting, but isn’t that dead horse rising out of the ground just so cool? (I love bones)and the Moonlight looks so...um...moonlightish

I also love that she always gives links to reference pictures used for her paintings. It’s always fun and inspiring for me to see how artists use reference images for their creations


Ok it was a hard choice because there are so many other great drawings and paintings in her gallery, but just for variety, here’s a great photo. So pretty, I love candle light, and that’s such a wonderful outfit

In real life Erica has lived down the street from me and been one of my daughter's best freinds for about 10 years. Actually it's the other way: I moved here 10 years ago; she has lived there all her life, her family has been here for generations, she is a part of the heart and soul of the small town of St George, Kansas.(whereas I am maybe an infected toenail or a mole on the nose or something...lol)

On DA, Erica leaves great comments, and responds to almost every comment and almost everything posted by her DA freinds. SHe has beeen an awesome freind to me here, she has even read most of my stories, in fact she is the only person in the world who has read most of my stories, and I really really really really appriciate that.

Erica, you are so Awesome!! everyone in the world should have a DA friend like you!!!



the above image is a photo of my Daughter Aubyn in Blackjack creek in St George Kansas. this Summer me and Erica had fun taking pictures of the same subjects, on a differant day, at the creek, and then comparing. usually hers were better than mine, tho I did get some good ones she has several good creek photos in her gallery. Be sure to read the description. Ericas pictures are always even better if you have read the description

I like the bucket in the foreground on this shot, it gives it the hunting for treasures feeling that is one of the fun things of creek exploration.

yummy macro, must full veiw
I love this cause it looks so yummy, and has great macro details. it makes me want home grown strawberries. I wonder if any of my strawberry plants will have lived through this winter.


this one I like cause I just like pictures of old junk, and this just has the perfect feeling for walking arround in St George looking at old junk in people's yards. lots of us have old junk here

but also.....
these last two go together. I didn't know until after I read the description, but this one shows where the strawberry came from. full veiw to see the little vollunteer strawberry plants growing under the washtub planter.
