dug 85 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Amazing collab.I think the light and shadows are just right, mixed with your usual subtle colours.Nice still-life.I have to go with hydrangeas thou. Quote MY GALLERYD.A.TheRawAtom Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 359 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks again, Jaxon. @ninja...: It's very nice of you to say that. @barbie: Her work is different and it's great to see that on the forums. It's so interesting what PDN can do to a fractal. @Welsh: Your eyes are fine, the bottom of the vase IS a bit off. I think Patty is back permanently, btw, just on DA. Thank you. @dug: Keeping everything simple was a little challenging, but I think I managed not to overdo it. Hydrangeas or carnations, they're both flowers.

Lance McKnight 4 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Very beautiful work, Helen. And it's different. The dark blue and the mute orange, a departure from the cheerful and bright colors you typically employ. It's still a lovely piece. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

qyler 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow! You have some really amazing things going on there. I hope I can get as good as you. Way'ta go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dug 85 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Lonely Orb: The warm, almost hot orange just fits perfectly with the chilly blue.A wee bit of a change from the subtle, pastel colours you use.Nice one. All the best for the New Year. Quote MY GALLERYD.A.TheRawAtom Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 1,032 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Lonely Orb is lovely Helen. I just love the way you did the blue centre part orbs are always a favourite with me. Well done!

HELEN 359 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) I can't thank all of you enough for stopping by and commenting on "Lonely Orb." Thanks to: Lance, qyler, dug, barbie, welsh, sokagirl, and Aislin. My next piece was inspired by an Illustrator tutorial that I mentioned on DA.

Rockandroll 17 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Very nice gallery. Your glassy works are superb You have you own recognisable "cartoonish" style that brings a smile on my face . The Simplicity image just stole my heart. looking forward to see more of your work Quote Banana tutorial Rockandroll's little gallery Link to post Share on other sites
yellowman 275 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Starry Hoops, is so beautiful, great concept and colors, I like the depth in it too. Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to post Share on other sites
delpart 15 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nice one. Makes the eyes wander around to examine the whole. Quote *** Gallery at PDN-Fans Link to post Share on other sites
RedBeard 27 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm loving your works, HELEN. Starry Hoops is an absolutely lovely piece, with lots to guide the eye around. And you are a master at rendering shiny things! Lonely Orb for some reason looks to me like it would be right at home on an old Journey album cover. I love the contrast between the orange the blue, almost like a conflict between fire and ice. Both strong pieces in an impressive gallery. Quote My Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 1,032 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Really pretty - like little fairies dancing around. I love the colours too. Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxon 6 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Helen - Starry Hoops is truly captivating, with a great choice of colors and the wow factor of the glossy orb is off the charts. Another exceptional piece to add to your masterful works. Quote Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
dug 85 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Starry Hoops.The usual brilliant colour combinations,great depth and quite hypnotic.Love it! Quote MY GALLERYD.A.TheRawAtom Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 359 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 @RockandRoll: Awww...that was so sweet of you to say that. I mentioned to barbie how hard it is to make simple images rather than more detailed ones. I really appreciate your words. @yellowman and delpart: Thanks you two. A great compliment coming from both of you. @RedBeard: Oh, gosh. Shiny and glossy is something I fell in love with when I first started using PDN in 2007. I really like what you described regarding the Lonely Orb. Thank you. @barbie: I really like your idea of dancing fairies. Thanks, barbie. @NinjaManDan: Thank you so much! I envy you in a good way. Enjoy your time there. @Jaxon: I can't take all the credit of the idea as another person put it out there in Illustrator, but making it my own was such a pleasure. Thank you for saying those kind words!!! @dug: I was hoping the hoops really gave it a hypnotizing look to it. Thanks, dug. Again, thanks to you ALL!
