Hi, Olga. I think you already are fascinated by our brave Galician women. Perhaps you also have a "bellicose spirit".:-))) LOL! (Today I'm so creative...!:-)

Just searching for Costa da Morte I found a related topic and a well known sentence caught my eye:

"The living people play death to escape from dead"

Most of all this link is about our Celtic origin.

Hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful Sunday:-)

Dear Olga, It’s a great honour to hear from you such complimentary words. It means that I didn’t work in vain on my drawing. Thanks a lot.

Wishing you all the very best, Izabella

Armando, so good to see that your challenge is a great success!!

Isn't it wonderful to see all these beautiful artworks in all different styles? And more will come! :DD

And the most beautiful thing that's created here is the great spirit!!

Thank you, Armando!!

Armando Salas 27 Jul 2008

Thank you to all of you, Anneke. All the wonderful and enthusiastic participants are the real architects of the building; I only put the first brick :-)

Armando Salas 27 Jul 2008

A new artist.

We already are 17!!!

Cristina Marsi ( by the way artist # 4 :-) had a brilliant idea: the creation of a new group about this challenge. This way all the works can be seen together. Since the Group feature allows to post already uploaded images but new ones as well (from your hard disk) feel free to post there all the sketches, W.I.P. and the definitive work. If someone upload photos of herself/himself while working... it could be wonderful and fun! :-)

P.S.- I don't know if AW agrees but the nude is allowed in this Group :-) LOL!

Everyone's rendition is soooo beautifully colored and executed , WOW stuff you gals!

*mental note* I will not be intimidated by all the great work... I will not be intimidated by...... blah blah blah repeat 100 times.. LOL

HELP!!

I just tried to get into the group to upload a WIP but the name of the group is gone although it is still showing the group is there with images and posts, just no name to click on?

Anyone else or is this just me?

Armando Salas 28 Jul 2008

Since I promised a STANDARD comment on the finished works, I'll not comment here. I'll simply say I'M IN AWE by looking at so different yet amazing art. No one can feel the same I do, because ALL of your creations are MY creatures as well. I'm happy because this experience is truly inspirational for me. It enriches me as artist and person. Thank you very much. All of you are the miracle; all of you are a living dream.

Armando Salas 28 Jul 2008

I'm guilty, Pam ! :-(((( Sorry.

The issue is fixed :-)

Armando Salas 28 Jul 2008

Time to remember Sher. I'm sure she'll enjoy this thread and challenge too. For sure, right now she's working on her own TREMENDOUS version in Heaven. I miss you, dear friend.
