Hi Maria, Hope your day was a good one. Been pretty dull on SF. All the folks who left...it has upset our dynamics as a community. I have not heard you express your thinking on all the chatter passing around. Thanks for the cheers and comments. Hugs

Many thanks for the cheers and comment :)

Yes they look very much alike. I can tell by Dottie's stance she doesn't like clothes. Does Dottie look you in the eyes? Izzy did. My son seemed to think it unusual. Of course Izz was queen. If guests came to visit and sat in the spot, on the sofa she layed on, she would sit in front of them and stare at them. Finally the guest would ask why she was doing that. I would tell them. LOL I am cracking up here remembering what a clown she was. I could feed her with a spoon just like a baby. She chewed gum. She went to obedience school. Ohhhhh she was stubborn. She did not like other dogs. She HATED/DETESTED THE HORSE!
Tried to bite his nose all the time. Stared at him waiting for him to lower his head. Then jump trying to get him when he did. I was concerned when Dillon came into our lives. Afraid she would be jealous. She had been that way with some children who visited. Awful thing she did. A little girl was laying on my bed and she peed on the bed next to the little girl. Claiming her territory. She never had a problem with Dillon. She adored him. It was as if she knew he belong to us. She was so smart! Thanks for sharing pictures of Dottie. Wish I could get my hands on her. I would kiss her, and act foolish over her.

LOL LOL LOL swim suit and googles. WHAT A HOOT!!! My Izzy would never let anything put on her. Believe me my boys and grandsons tried. She would stand still like a statue. That is her in the pic. Yes personality like you know they have. Yes Izzy slept with me too. She would lay next to my calf holding the covers tight. When I had to get up at night. I would say let me in Izzy. She would get up move over,and I would get in , then she would get back in her place. :) Your Dottie is making me miss her more. She looks soooo much like Izz.

Thank you also

thanks for all the positive feedback.

I will post other pictures from time to time.. I will put a wee baby one today. Come back tro see. Never been to the site you spoke of. My three were each so different in personality, but each as distintive as the other. Never breed a female. My Izzy was breed :( by our Lab dog on her first heat. A crazy situation. Very upsetting!!!! She had a misbreed shot. Thereafter she got a uteran infection. Was treated and cleared as fine. Next day after her check up....we almost lost her.:O
She had an emergency surgery, so, no nest!!! Our male, Brutus, was such an excellent specimen, our vet advised me not to use him for breeding to anyone in our area. She said to advertise in Doggie World. I was raising four children...a bit busy. I had not a clue about breeding a EB. He was a gift from my mother. She bought him not knowing anything about EBs. He was dragging her all over the neighborhood. LOL Oh my he was a strong boy! Mama could not handle him. He needed a trainer. Long story short, I did not us him for stud. That is a regret of mine. He was absolutely massive and of show quality. Gorgeous dog. We had intended to bred Sadie. Sadie is not as large as any other EB I have ever seen. We just felt she should not whelp. I have a video from Animal Planet of a female birthing. Her belly was touching the ground.
Of course it was a C-section. Her pups just spilled out when the incision was made SHE GAVE BIRTH TO NINE PUPPYS. Talk about awwwwwwwws.
Dillon and I have watched that tape sooooooo many times. I tried to write you last night. Feel alsleep at the keyboard. LOL I will have another pic up later. Have a great day. Does Dottie go to work with you? My Izzy went to my store with me. I owned a consignment store.
She of course went with me. She had a fan club. People would stop in to see her, and bring thier family/friends to see her. We called her Queen Isabella...because she was. A fabulous pet. She worshiped me. Truley she loved me sooo much and I her. She could say MaMa. Play the piano, bark at who let the dogs out, in the right place. She was the delight of us all. Those are the few things...oh soooo much more. A well loved friend! I MISS HER EVERY DAY!!! Hugs...kiss Dottie for me.

I think I like the same things you. Red hair, green eyes, are a winning combination. Just not happy with the overall draw. Gerbear told me in the beginning. look back in a month and see what progress you are making. In that way I have made some progress I am pleased with, Another whiteboard art friend, told me never say that is not good, just what would I do different next time. Also do not compare yourself to anyone. These things have helped keep me on track. I can accept helful kinly given directives and welcome them. Almost all here have been wonderful to me. Appreciating my strong points. Building me up, and making me want to step out of my rut and try some new thoughts. I think the system only registereed "funny" on my this draw. NOT A PROBLEM! I like honesty if it is not brutal! You are too nice to ever be that. I appreciate all your attention to my draws. I would centainly miss them if they did not come. Thanks for being a friend. ((((HUGS))))

Thanks for the cheers and comments. I see you were not impressed with my practice face. Me either.LOL I fear there are more to come. Brace up. :)

lol! Hi- I dont think there was any rule about what star was added- I just added a hot blue star because Im interested in astronomy ( Im no expert but I have a small telescope- lol after all the first star had a smiley face- not something usually visible even from the Hubble telescope! no worries hope you have a great weekend too!

Thanks for the cheers and the comment! :-D

Thanks for the C"n"C om march wind...SORRY ABOUT THE SNOW! BRRRRRR IS RIGHT.

"Fallen" and "Strange Image" are both very powerful draws... good good good job =)

Thanks for the cheers and comment on my bluebell field. Have a good day
friend. :)

Wow...the days fly by, for sure. Thanks for all the cheers you've been sending my way on my recent Cdn Screen "Late" Legends. Cheers & comments always appreciated & encouraging! Thanks much! ;-) L8*

Hi everyone...I am so far behind on here with cheers and comments so please be patient. I hope to get to it this weekend. If only there were more time in the day imagine what we could get done. Hope everyone is having a nice week and hurry up Friday!!

Ame to you, Hope you had a great Easter!

Literally, or in a manner of speaking? =D Because it sounded funny.....

Back atcha, Maria! Not only do you create wonderful art, it's clear to see that you have a lovely soul to go with that beautiful face :)

Thank you dearest. I like these heavenly/ sky skapes.

To echo darling Emi, Merci, Maria for the cheers & sweet comments - I'm so glad you liked the Flowers and the Bunny! I looked up your webpage and was amazed at all the energy and ability in your boards and barstools, not to mention in the site itself! God bless your enterprising spirit - it's inspiring!!

Thnx for all the cheers and kind comments. And oh I love your work :)

Oh, and thanks for all the cheers/comments, and sorry for the long post hah xD

"The guy seems almost dumb founded...lol. Sometimes men just don't get it, or maybe it is we don't get them?"

I actually read a psychology-book concerning that. The thing is that men and women are very different, but the women expects the men to understand them and vice versa. It's impossible, you can't expect that of eachother.
It's not that men are "dumber" just that they have a different way of thinking in nature, a different way of interpreting things and everything like that. And that is not an excuse for all the shit alot of men do, although men just don't see things as women do, and that's just the way it is ^^

Anyway, I'm glad when I can get people to really think about a drawing, make a story about it... that's the fun in it! But I don't know if that guess of yours was all that correct ^^

thanks for all the cheers and comments- as always really appreciated!

Thanks for the cheers and comments. I too love willows. When I was a child besides my roller skates, the one in our yard was my favorite toy. :) I LOVED THAT TREE! I want one now. I comment on every one I see. My husband says they are messy. Well so is he. LOL

merci merci beaucoup for that avalanche of cheers and comments ! :) x

thank you :-) i wish you a great w.e., too! and great holidays :)

Wow, was this site having issues? I lost all my messages, so bare with me on commenting and cheering everyone. I'm glad it is up and running again..whew.

thanx for the lovely comment and cheers theyre much appreciated. =D

Wow! We are practically neighbours: Michigan and Ontario. Both very beautiful and well known for its natural scenic grandeur! Thanks for the add, the cheers, and most especially the generous compliment and thoughfulness. Galleries like yours are just one of the beautiful reasons that humbles me and inspired me to keep drawing better or at least keep on trying.

wow so many cheers thanks beautyful woman a big smile to u:-D

Thank you for the very nice comment and all the cheers :)

..and yes, this lag is quite annoying, it really limits what you can do here on Sketchfu, and that's just too bad :O

Thanks my dear friend. I am delighted you like this. Thanks on the eyes especially. (((HUGS))) *j*

Thanks for all the cheers and sweet comments!

I see I've missed some great stuff in your gallery while I've been absent! Think I'd better go catch up on a few. ;)

Take care,

Miss A.

thanks for all and for lovely comments:-D

Hi RCD I forgot to say TY for the comments and cheers on my beech drawing YAH to you!

Yes, I am always ready for a place like that. Cabin fever is setting in with me. It isn't pretty. I LOVE THE BEACH ... would live on the beach if I had my way. :)

Whoa you was quick to leave a comment on my unfinished cherries lol didnt even give me chance to delete it in time :p

Hi ya reecre! Cheers for the many cheers you've left on my recent tribute pics. Really appreciate them & your kind comments! L8* ;-)

Hello! Thank you very much for watching my drawings and cheering them also for sweet words. They mean a lot for me. Thanks again.

Hi!!! Thanks for your lovely comment on my new pic! I don't deserve that praise. I have a fabulous photo from deviant art that the artist gave me permission to draw. This was not like the photo, only the theme. So it was an attempt not really what I wanted to do. I have no time lately... my job is killing me. It helps to draw... eases some of the stress. So when I get such encouragement it is really nice, but that part of me who knows it was not as I intended it to be is critical! Your recent work is brilliant! I enjoyed walking through your gallery this morning! You are impressive!!!

Thanks my friend, Glad you enjoyed. :)

You are a very talented artist, keep them coming!!

Well, Yes internet crashes are the pits. Hope that is just a bad memory now.:) Thanks for your cheers and comments on my other draws today. You are too kind. That Bird one deserves a delte. Some days it just doesn't happen for you.. Another day perhaps!

Thanks for the cheers & comments on my drawings. I truly appreciate them.

np
(^w^)

Thanks for cheers and comment. Inside is my favorite way to view this!Brrrr!!!!

TY Just a quick draw to let all know where I was.LOST MY IN CONNECTION AGAIN TODAY. GRRRRRRR LOST A DRAW UPLOADING. BOOOO HOOOO! I will be alright. *S*

Hi!!!! Wow..., don't think I deserve that commentary! What a wonderful comment you left for! Thanks so very much! I am very pleased that you would take time to offer such big praise and cheer! Your words really touched me!

Thanks for the C & C! The patterns relax me so I can sleep. Realism and the bears keep me awake trying to get it right *L* So my gallery is a bear, a pattern, a community draw, realism, pattern..etc etc..all mixed up! :)

Thank you for your constant comments and cheers, it sure helps when I doubt myself. You are so good at this, it looks so natural for you and I love seeing what you come up with.

ur very welcome. it was a pleasure watching weeing it.

Thanks again lovely lady. You are there to boost me and help me know I need to keep on keeping on. Glad you are my friend. Your work is so fine, so to have you comment and cheer mine is special. :)

Hi added you as a friend returned the favor, thanks for your encouraging comments and cheers, looking forward to veiwing your work as well.....:D

Hi reecre...You're kind comments are very appreciated, whether they are "late" or not -hehe. Very encouraging for me to receive cheers & comments from a very fine artist such as yourself. Thanks for the inspiration ;-) L8*

Hi! I looked down at the comments and saw that your name is Maria ... ok if I call you that? Your screen name is a mouthful! Thank you for the cheers and comments and for adding me as a friend. I'm in awe of your work! Looking forward to going through your gallery. Sketchfu is a great place but HIGHLY addictive ... be prepared to spend lots and lots of time here ;D Oh, and call me Meno :) A belated welcome to the insane asylum :D

Hi :)
Your gallery is wonderful. You must have joined while i was gone for a while because i cannot imagine having missed your work for any other reason. Hope you don't mind I added you as a friend to more easily follow your work. :)

Thanks for the comments and cheers. Very much appreciated. Hugz

I know, it is painfully slow and problematic when loading. One of the reasons I quit working on it was due to its excessively sluggish nature. Thank you, though. :)

Yes, that would be Buffalo, New York... and yes we've got the snow!!

Thank you for the comment. I love your drawings!! You are a very talented artist. I see you have mastered this program.

Thank you, I'm hoping I'm not boring everyone with my Muppets, its been fun doing them, I love the responses I get from each one and seems everyone has a favorite, hehe.

Thanks for your encouraging comments and the cheers. *j*

thanks for all the cheers!

thanks, you flatter me :) you work is great too!

Thanks for the comment and cheers!

Hi ree...thanks very much for the cheers & comments. Always very appreciated & encouraging! ;-)

Thanks for your comment, Maria. Considering your background, I'm very flattered. Now I'm going to look at your stuff. =)

Hi Maria! OOOOOHHHH I love that name! My real name is Jill.... you probably have seen others refer to J or Jill... Aakyra is my first real art in many years, she is my heart, the visual reminder of my goals and dreams and so I keep her close through my daily routines, like a compass so I never loose my direction! I have no idea why I said that... I just saw your name and love it! I came by to thank you for the cheers and the comment... undeserved, as the pic was a simple study. But appreciated none the less! Thanks again!

Thanks for the cheers! And thank you for adding on!!

You are so very kind to compliment me on my Cher. It was a lenghty draw and I worked very hard. My orinter would not work, so I did a rough sketch and went for it. I see what I would try to do differently.
You are such an accomplished artist and it pleases me well, for you to comment favorably on my work. TY for adding me and your C&C. Smiles!

Thanks for all the cheers and the add ^^

Hello thanx for taking the time to look @ my work and for the kind comment and cheer :)

welcome and thanks for the add

Thank you for all you kind words 8)

You're very welcome & welcome to sketchfu!

Actually, I say I'm relearning but, much of it I'm learning for the first time as I gave up too easily in my younger days. So a lot of basic rules and techniques are still new to me. Sketchfu is a blessing though. It's great to be able to watch others create and learn from watching the art's progression, as well as be able to get support and tips from other artists. I just love it here!

Hope you don't mind me adding you to my friend list so I can track your art. It's awesome!

Keep those colors flowin' and enjoy the day!

Miss A.

Cheers for the cheers and comment. I appreciate the support very much! ;-) L8*

Thank you for all your cheers and comments. I appreciate it!! Hope you don't mind the add.

I really must say , you have great art work - it was a pleasure visiting your gallery.... :)

hi

Oh yes....there is opacity. Click on the "<" key to make it the color more transparent. Click on the ">" to make the color more opaque. Also the Z key will undo and the Y key will redo. If you point to a color and click the E key your paintbrush will turn to that color. Click the P key for the Palet to come up. You can also draw straight lines by left clicking at the point you want to start the line and then without letting go, right click also. A menu should apear. Then let go of both and go to the point where you want the line to end...and left click again and a line should appear. That is all I know, let me know how they work....great fun here.

Hi and welcome! Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Look forward to being friends!

thanks for adding....looking forward to more of your art.

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT

This is so different! It's fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! I'd buy it!
