Not a good attitude, Larry. You're better at art than you imagine!

Hope so. If I am it is because I work so hard at it.

Don't hope, Larry. Just know it.

I don't know which way to hold a brush.

I failed both Watercolor and Oils in college.

I wound up using markers in advertising and then the computer.

But I can also play "In A Gadda Da Vida", not that anyone wants to ever hear that one again!

:)

I almost never doodle in Xara.

I just wanted a little simplicity. :)

It almost looks like it's alive and has a personality.

Thank you!

I tried very hard not to over-embellish, as that was not the point of sitting down in front of Xara today!

My Best,

Gary

I had the album, but foolishly gave it away.
I loved the butterfly’s coming to life, the heart beat, the squeaking wings, etc.
Iron Butterfly, Cream were a couple of my favs! (Sunshine of Your Love!)

If it weren't for the fact that mp3s don't wear out like vinyl, I would have gone through about 12 copies of Derek and the Dominoes' Layla!

My "all time favorite tune!", surprisingly is...

"Twelve O'clock Rock" by Bill Haley and the Comets.

It just puts me in a very upbeat mood! (Nostalgic!)
BTW, that was the ONLY song of theirs that I liked.
