The posterized face is simply fantastic and so gorgeous on this B&W page. I love how the damask shows through and sort of softens the overall look.

Gorgeous. Really gorgeous. Love how you used the frame to really accentuate your photo.

and NOW you're a Biker Babe too?!?! Really. My hero. This is one of my absolute fave color schemes. I'm ALWAYS drawn to it. I'm loving every single bit of your brushwork and like how you over & undered the circle brush with your photo.

2018, huh? So you would have been 63 while you were dangling from and zipping through the trees??? You're my hero! This gives me such joy... and some hope & inspiration too! (I bet these joyous activities play in on your skin care routine! ;) If a camera adds 10 pounds, then it's only fair that...

I've commented on this elsewhere - but I had to come back and admire this cardinal again. I'm so glad I did because I loved reading your 'how I did' and gave me a better insight and appreciation into your fab background!

What a gorgeous and perfectly scrapped page! This would be an excellent Quick Page. And your rough life cat is beautiful! -all of my rescues always make the best & most grateful of pets/companions.

What a handsome & striking dog! Love how you've split framed him/her. The soft blue background is perfect to let the dog shine and your bits of brush & embellishments are just enough to add interest and keep the eye darting about the page.

Oh I just LOVE this heritage page! The ephemera stack is wonderful, adding so much interest and making me want to look for the deeper meanings implied in them. Love that doily too to sort of frame the book/photo - I think I have several just like that one. This truly is GORGEOUS!

This jumps right out at you in the gallery - so dynamic! ... and a perfect page because I have to run off to the store and buy this kit just because of this LO!

A lovely art journal-y holiday page. Loving on that rich color!

LoL @Betty Jo ! You're too sweet and too funny and too kind! :)

Thank you, Betty Jo! You're such a ray of sunshine everywhere! I - and my dot - are honored!

So very beautiful! ...and totally inspiring me to create one of my own. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art AND the inspiration!

And finally to a computer so I can stand up for an encore of this Standing O!

Genevieve by @Adryane is SUCH A STANDING O with her terribly interesting character that seems to be trying to tell me something, or an unspoken invitation to something more. I LOVE her textures and paint effects and I really have to keep looking back for more. I want her framed on my wall so I...

And you make me hip hap HAPPY because of this standing O and your so kind & uplifting words. YOU are a rainbow on my terribly rainy & blue Friday. Thank you so very much, @Betty Jo ! (((hugs)))

YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brava!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to call her Eleanor Rigby because she reminds me of some of the characters from the old Beatles cartoons. The texture for the dress is perfection, your paint over is so very dreamy & artistic, the coloring is dynamic and soothing...

I've been mooning on this since I first spied it on FB. I'm loving studying each and every detail in this. Everything is just so glorious and so well done. The fact that this is a relative makes it all the more spectacular! Brava!!!!!

...a fave - as soon as I figure out how to designate it a fave.

I totally agree with everything Betty Jo says - and certainly a standing O - and just a WOW of a piece! My first favorite from the new gallery/forum!
