This is breathtaking, downright beautiful. I don't know how you removed the shadows, because I am clueless about how to produce this kind of artwork. Is it a painting? Or photograph? Or just plain magic?

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Peg. I painted everything by hand/mouse except the background which is a special effect. It is a digital painting. Again, I thank you so very much for the great review :)

Hi Moon,
As you said I think that having left the shadows it would have appeared too busy, as it is it is excellent. Very good impact with color and light. Good centre of interest. V.Good tech excel and tech. Good story.

I just went to a production of 'Hair' and every picture I've looked at latley reminds me of its themes: the rose represents love, the candle is the flame of youth that can't be put out easily. The background design is very electric, touching on psychedelic! Great center of interest. Good color and lighting. Excellent work.

Really like this, the dark colours are brilliant and the black petals a stroke of creative genius. The contrast of the warm candle and the soft delicate rose is great. Love the detail on the rose and the depth of picture. Hints of shadow, shade and light are well introduced throughout picture,A great piece of art Dave

This is beautiful Shawn, it jumped right off the page at me with the electric purple spikes. I like the effect that you got with the shadows on the rose, give it very nice depth and a dimension feel. Shirley

This has great initial impact. Very strong composition and design on the rose. I really like the candle. It's glow is great as is the melted shape of it.
