Wow, Michael. This is a very moving piece. I love the waterfalls. Excellent work.

Artist Reply: Linda, I was practicing my mystical work, although it is not something I usually paint, I did have fun. Thanks so much for your kind and generous remarks about my work. It really inspires me to do better and try other things. My best to you, Michael

Magical and fairy work Michael. Well done

Artist Reply: I thought I would try some of my plug ins out. I have so many that I should install and use for photoshop. So then I thought of all the fantasy work on the sight and hopped into the water. I thank you so much for your kindness and I just love your new image. I am still looking at it . Brilliant work. Michael

Very moving and magical.

Artist Reply: Joe, my appreciation for your great support of my work. Thanks so much for checking out my new work. I am having some fun with it. That one was a little fantasy one I did. My appreciation again for your kindness. Michael

This looks like it belongs in a fairy tale, as if unicorns bathed here. I like the sparkles...I am a big fan of sparkles in general...so you've won me over.

Artist Reply: Therese, thank you so much for your kindness and it is a bit of a departure for me doing the fantasy fairy motif. But I sort of like it now. Thanks for your kind words. Michael

Hey, Miguel! Neat blend of textures and colors here.....the rock on the bottom(?) reminds me of a woman's head for some reason? Love the water falling! :) -Kerra

Artist Reply: Kerra, I can see your visualization of that. Thanks so much for your always kind and lovely words. And the depth in which you look at works. Great practice. My grateful thanks to you. Michael

Lucia Stewart 23 Oct 2007

Simply stunning Michael!!!

Artist Reply: Lucia, my great friend and creator of my own little zoo I follow as you create them. Thanks for giving me fantasy pets that have become very real to me. It's as if I want them all to snuggle with me. You are so very talented and clever. Congratulations on the success of your work. Michael

love the star and the colors and the water tell it own story nice...

Artist Reply: Tabitha, I think you just love mystical and magical images and perhaps that part of your life is mystical and magical. I envy you that state of mind. It is very freeing and you are so sweet to always comment and make my spirits soar. My thanks to you always. Michael

Janet Gioffre Harrington 23 Oct 2007

MAGICAL, MICHAEL!!

Artist Reply: I think I was being a little more playful then normal, but that is good for old hermits like me. I think I will send this off to my young daughter who just turned 12 and a delight and a great artist at such a young age. I wish I could have here for a few years and open the world of computer graphics up to here a bit more although she is already beginner proficient. One must always have a student and a mentor, I believe. It creates a balance in life. My deepest gratitude to you and wishing you a joyous week. Michael.

Tracy L Nicholson 23 Oct 2007

This is a beautiful piece. I love the use of such vibrant colors around the white falls!! :)

Artist Reply: Tracy, my thanks and appreciation to you for your kind words. They mean so much to me in motivating me to work harder to become better at my craft. My gratitude for your kind remarks. Michael

Artist Reply: Jo, you don't think I went a little to airy fairy on this. I was trying some fantasy software out and out comes this. Thanks so much for your special remarks. Michael

maggie Barra 23 Oct 2007

beautiful work dear michael......Hold your breath and close your eyes, Squeeze all the magic from inside. Step through the circle that time defies, And journey into wonderous skies....JOANNA RICHE

Artist Reply: Maggie, I am always so appreciative of hearing from you, my kind and talented friend. I loved you shots of Oregon and made me nostalgic for that lovely coast again. I hope your life is great, and you are happy and healthy. Your always so kind and thoughtful in your comments. My deep appreciation. Michael
