I love this piece! It reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! :) I think the name fits very well! This piece flows very well, and the lines lead you back to the farthest little milk ball :) Great job!

    Hey, Angela! Where you been keeping yourself? You don't have to answer that. LOL. Haven't seen you for a long long time. :) Thank you so much for the super review on my Willy Wonka piece here, and milk balls are one of my favorites. lol. It DOES look like Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Again, thanks a million, Ange!! Good to see you back and painting again :)

    Ha ha, thank you for the reply! It has been a very crazy year! I got in a car accident at the beginning of the year and then got fired because of that, then Jerry got in a car accident one month after me and got his car totaled as well! Then less than a month after than my Grandma that was my best friend passed away. So, it has been a tough year and I'm trying to get back into the grove of things and get things put together. I'm doing a drawing of my Grandma and I'm going to post it when I'm done...just don't know when I will be able to get it all the way done.

    How are things with you?

Comment from Tabris6ie


was going to say it was very dali esque from looking at the smaller image but i think you've actually achieved a little more depth and detail once you view the bigger image, love the perspective to it

This should be a six. It has wonderful depth and the design is awesome. Title works very well for this. It does remind me of milk & honey. Great colors that compliment each other well. The impact upon first looking at this is wonderful. It just jumps out at you. Well done.

Another virtual six star Shawn but I did talk to Tom about it.I'll tell you in a PM.This is so
cool and I love the perspective
in this work.Did you make your own brushes for this piece?I know you didn't draw each one,I was just wondering
because I have made some brushes myself.I love the whole concept of this painting and the color palette that you chose is beautiful and very easy on the eyes.Which program(s) did you use to do this?Your different techniques
always amaze me.I guess that's why I am one of your biggest fans!
Thanks for doing and sharing this one!
Angelheart :)

    PSP 9, Angel. The background is just a gradient posterized. The tree-like structures were drawn and enameled, the balls/orbs I made a long time ago. And if I listed this 2D out of habit, I better go change it, cause I think too many effects were used. 2D says a minimum of effects, but how do you determine "minimum?" Thank you so much again for the super super review!! :)

    You're welcome Shawn.There are a lot of things that need to be more explicitely stated.As it is know,it can mean different things to different people.They put a lot of ideas on the table for Tom in the forum but I do not hang out in those places.Gossip central.lol

Love your design but can't work out where you got your title from. The background it is soft and lovely flowing down to the gold. The wavy lines really brings the depth. You have created so much depth from the front to the very back. The balls are like beautiful pearls in a holder. Very very nice indeed.

    From the honey trees just overflowing with honey, of course, and the orbs/balls with milk that never runs dry. LOL. Don't mind my warped imagination :). It has a lot to do with the coloring also, the white and honey color of the design. Thank you ever so much for the great review, Sandy!! :)
