    We have an idea going over in the Xara Gallery about posting a forum-wide challenge of a symbol of renewal--the mythological phoenix--the idea is to create one with your program of choice in any style or version which you like. It would be so cool to see all the different varieties and versions people can use their imagination and come up with. It translates well into logo and abstract techniques--anything goes. There is already a posting in the Gallery and one in the Xara Gallery (info on the symbolism, origin,etc. can be found on pg 2 of the "Brandon Lee" thread in the Xara Gallery if anyone is interested).
    Hope those here will give it a try and show us what can be done with Photopaint [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] !

    WOW Cheryl, that's terrific!!! I love all the mosaic or granulated-like textures and the swirling rising flames against the cooler contrasting blue colors!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] A great idea, and I'm so glad you chose to add this art to our endeavor so others will see and discover new ideas techniques, etc..., and share with us. Thanks so much, and if you'd like, you could also post it in one of the Phoenix "Gallery" threads.
    Great work!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    Hi Cheryl,

    Great Pheonix. Seeing everyone's interpretation is very enjoyable with all the variety.

    in the Gallery now, Cheryl! If you want to try and remove your extra reply posting here just click the pencil/card icon at the top of one of the messages and that message will come up for editing. There is in the top right corner an underlined choice to delete the message--just click and that one will then ask if you're sure, click continue, and it will be removed.
