This is beautiful! Christine

Artist Reply: You're so nice to me...I am glad I know you here Vera!

Armando Salas 07 Apr 2006

Which is the secret to do this? I'm jealous...!!!

Artist Reply: Silly Man! First this is a painting, you know that and then second though, you most likely know that the lights are Flares added one by one...You have to go back and forth and add each one separately in a process of settings that takes awhile. Photoshop 4.0 is the program I used. It does not have the advantages of many of the other advanced updated software...but it is all I have right now. It took me at least 8 hours to insert all those stars. It can be frustrating because a little arrow is used to place them on a tiny screen that might be a forth the size of this image you see here. Sometimes the stars don't fall in the exact place you might want them and then you have to remove them ... It made me want to scream a few times. LOL! But maybe you all ready know. You most likely do. I think you have used flares before as I recall. Anyway Thanks for making me smile. Have a GREAT Day!! R Man DOOO! Blessings to you!!! Sincerely CB

Anonymous Guest 07 Apr 2006

Christine, I have to tell you I really feel your spirit through your work! Also, thank you for the uplifting and encouraging words, as I am very new to not only this site, but photography as well. I am using it as a sort of "therapy" or "healing" if you will. I can't wait to get to the next image of yours, please keep them coming!

Randy Kroll 05 Apr 2006

You have the touch of an angel Christine. You're amazing sweet lady!!!

Artist Reply: You make me feel like it is all worth it Randy! Thank you more than you know...I am working on that sweet side...I have many roads to go...but knowing I have given a word of hope, maybe just one... to help You or the Good Artists of the world makes me feel like I have done something worth while in this world...Are we not in this all together? Yes! Are we not here to love one another and be kind and true and to encourage each other? I don't know what else I have to give...If I say one word to help...then I have done what I am here for. YOU make me feel so humble...I am thrilled that someone likes my images...That is why I create them. I hope that this image has brought a little Peace to You...It was the experience of painting it that brought peace to me...the process was one of constant prayer...as I painted this over the span of two years I prayed . I prayed for myself and the world...that we would live in love and the light of God... That all the war would end. I fall so short of Glory of God, but I am trying to get back up each time I do. You have given me the courage to walk the path again and turn my eyes toward the goal I strive for...Thank you Randy Kroll. Godspeed to you and much love to your family... Sincerely Christine
