But a lot of great pictures are created that way (parts look fantastic on their own). And I have to say you did a smashing job on the cars, I just cant draw or paint them, they are one of the very hardest things to put on papper for me. <br /><br />Great piece Dan!!!<br /><br />I hope all is well down in FL, cheers<br /><br />MariMari Brown and Colourblobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031663861630821478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-90635138128864784342012-03-19T22:53:31.973-04:002012-03-19T22:53:31.973-04:00Fantastic work Dan!

And thanks for the link to Terry Miura's site. Looks wonderful and I can't wait to check it out more thoroughly. I've already joined his mailing list! I think I went to Frank Eber's site from a link you gave before too, and after going there I did a quick city sketch in my sketchbook. It was small and I decided part way through that I didn't really want to finish it, but instead I just simplified. It surprised me how much I liked it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-39772047613634789452012-03-13T16:35:34.406-04:002012-03-13T16:35:34.406-04:00Glad that you did not run out of time!!Glad that you did not run out of time!!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285606251006696303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-17683342844982414892012-03-13T14:59:55.970-04:002012-03-13T14:59:55.970-04:00Man, I love that man on the right--er--left.
