		This thread makes me happy, I do some little amateur "art." The picture posted is nice, but the butterfly.. for me, it is like word "love" in a poem.

		That's about 25 years of work there - it's a slow process! I don't do it any more - health problems.

		loving this thread. 
Mercedes so many pieces of work you have done over the years and all of them beautiful.   Did you do them on commission / commercially or just as the fancy took you?   (I would def buy one if I had the finds). 
Agree with Chris's comments... I loved the rich tones in Addy's painting.   Sadly my attempts at painting did not look like this   
looking forward to seeing some other work. 
Somehow I don't think happy snaps of my farm or a image of one of the bottles of cider I have made / blended will get many people excited...but in a odd way this is my art work.

		I will, but at the moment my camera is gone and have no proper scanner. Once I am able to lay hands of a (new) camera, I promise I will share.

 Hi - thanks for your nice words! I followed my own ideas - all of them are sold now, I kept only one I made for my mother. Sometimes I look at the pictures and wonder what the hell I was doing.

		Sighs.  So I spend hours trying to get one of mine to show....and the whole damn thing disappeared without any trace.  It had a nipple but said nipple resembled a dot, so I'm not sure if that was the reason or not.  At any rate, I'm trying again with less controversial material just to see what happens.   
 
hi bena, we're fine with nips specially if it's art nips    
here's how to show the pics:
 Quote:right click on the image, then chose view image info (it has to end in .jpg or .ping) the copy the url.
 and post it using
  quotes like i did with your pic. ![[Image: Picture-It.jpg]](http://www.zhibit.org/image/3954d434-0370d383fc-42f0c202-m-0/Picture-It.jpg) http://www.zhibit.org/melgmills/artwork/picture-it

		Bena - that's a good shot - I like the impressionist look of your work.
