'in my own world 2' ~ foil stars, casein paint, gouache, watercolors, graphite and oil pastels in 'the merry men', 5" x7"

this ended up being the final version,


although i thought this one was, so i took a pic of it. i really liked that tulip behind her head, but i just couldn't get it right. eventually the tulip wanted to be a flame, which just *felt* a lot better even though i really liked that tulip...

on another note... if you leave a comment and don't receive an e-mail reply from me, it's because you don't have an e-mail address associated with your google/blogger account. if you're not sure, go to 'edit profile', and under 'identity', your e-mail addy will be there - or not. if it's not there, then i can't reply to your comments, and others can't e-mail you through your blog (if you have a blogger blog). it's only recently that i figured this out... before that i was replying to everyone, not knowing that many people weren't getting them!

if you have a few minutes and want to gaze at some incredible and colorful abstract paintings, go to micheal madigan's website ...

    The final version stole my heart. It just says so much more to me and yet the tulip is whimsical....
    Now I'm off to Michael's website.

    Seeing the flames, I felt "yes!"; seeing the tulip (I see a crown), was more "ahhh, sweet". But then I'm all about fire, can't help it.

    Oh Lynne, how I have missed logging on to see your treasures. Love this one, flames or tulip. The colors are delicious! We just got power after the wrath of Irene today. 6 days without really changes a person. Have an awesome weekend!

    Sometimes you have to give up the fight and let the magic happen.
    I imagine the tulip will find herself the perfect spot on a different page.
    BTW...
    I LOVE the picture one post down. It took me somewhere else for a moment.

    Both versions are fabulous, but the final one is more mysterious, I think. Thanks for the link to Michael Madigan, too - I LOVE the colors.
