Gabriel ~

You did a very nice job on the painting! When I was younger, I loved to do colorful sunsets/sunrises in the backgrounds while the trees of various shapes/sizes in black were the focus of the pictures. Sure wish I had kept them. Maybe when I retire years from now, I'll find the time and energy to take it up again!

Thats beautiful, Gabriel. The detailing on the white birch is awesome! I love the faded look in the foreground and the way you used the stronger color as you look "deeper" into the picture....i'm no expert so I dont know if that makes sense or not. All I know is that its really interesting to look at.

Wow, Gabriel, that's fantastic..Nice touch...

Thanks Ekim

OK...Just talk......some of my closest friends are getting on my nerves. Does anyone ever have to unyoke their friendships for a while?

As an aside, some of my closest friends from years ago are no longer my closest friends now.

But I keep pretty busy anyway...

probably just about everyone has unyoked a friendship at some point in thier lives..
It's rough.. maybe you just need some alone time.. sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now.. a good friend should understand...

[Gabriel]

Thanks Ekim and Bea....maybe I will give both me and her some distance. She could be feeling the same thing.
