Terry A. Ernest 2003-01-05 Lovely mood you have capture there John...the subtle lighting and colour, has a sort of organic feel to your picture..just one little suggestion..maybe try combining a little photo reference on the figure...   (John Shannon) Thanks Terry, this actually was just supposed to be a background pic I just added a kind of half figure to it. My Figures do suck I know but I refuse to use any Photos in my work, I just consider it cheating. Christopher Shepard 2003-01-05 The tree is awesome. Your colors are fantastic as always. Do you have anyu tutorials on your technique?   (John Shannon) Thanks Chris, I might do a Tutorial on trees later, heres a close up "http://www.jeshannon.com/pics/watchclose.htm" Joslynn Roetman 2003-01-05 mmmm, beautiful! *claps*   James Browne 2003-01-05 DAMN!

You're a true talent Mr. Shannon.   (John Shannon) Thanks James !! great comment comming from the likes of you, tell you the truth i'm not happy with this pic, I just got lost in it, learnt a hell of alot though whilst getting lost. stan wisniewski 2003-01-05 John, great work as always. Your name is one of a small group I look for when the new daily thumbnails come out. The colors are exceptional.   Laura Pelick 2003-01-05 Tree! I love this tree.. it's got it's own personality.   Marilyn Alice Boyle 2003-01-06 I don't know how you can say it's just a tree. It's certainly more than that! There's an air of mystery and enchantment about her against that backdrop of ethereal light. Every curve and lift of the branches speaks volumes. And the delicate touch of the flowers entwined about the roots is magical. A wonderful piece!   (John Shannon) Thankyou Marilyn and Stan/Laura great comments from you all, means alot to me Steve Ferris 2003-01-10 John. Ingrid and Marilyn's comments say much and your progress here is remarkable to say the least. The "Magic" people see here is "Self Taught". Bravo John P.S. You're having to much damn fun.   (John Shannon) Thankyou very much Steve, I am having fun but also am trying to push myself all the time which is hard and frustrating at times, its comments from Great Artists like yourself that keep me going, cheers pal Marley Mcleay 2003-03-20 this is simply beautifull John.gosh thats some beautifull art.i thouight she was a part of the tree.the lighting is amazing also!   (John Shannon) Thankyou marley :) scott purdy 2003-03-27 Beautiful mate!

The lighting is drinkable, and I love the foliage.   Rita Ria 2004-11-02 John, this is wonderful- how the sun is just shining through the mist. GREAT   Post a Comment
