Added 2016-11-06 10:40:11 +0000 UTCOkay, I owe Rebecca and SmArt School BIG TIME for how this one came together. I had all those animals all over the place in the first version of this until she gave me incredibly helpful pointers for this last Tuesday. I'll be holding on to those pieces of advice for every piece from now on - especially the busy ones.
Another piece inspired by the story of Taliesin. This is Gwion Bach after catching three drops from the magic cauldron, hit by the Awen - the Welsh concept of (artistic) inspiration and foresight.
I hadn't been able to work on this at all for over a week. I felt totally uninspired, mired down and stuck. You know that I reached my low on Thursday. And I can't thank you enough for all your many kind words (and actions) after Friday. Guys, you're so precious. Those who wrote to me, or called, and all of you who didn't do anything but just stayed. I'm silly for not expecting that, not to this extent. I should have known you better! <3

2016-11-06 15:14:23 +0000 UTCOh no, that last paragraph doesn’t sound good. What happened, Jenny? (Did I miss a post somewhere?) I hope you are alright and whatever went wrong is now getting better. Can we help you in any way? *hugs you* ... I love the lineart a lot. This picture will be so awesome! What advice did Rebecca give you? It is a real joy to read that you enjoy her classes so much. ... By the way, I noticed you changed the raffle. Magnets? Cool! – I didn’t know you create these, too. :D

2016-11-06 14:37:28 +0000 UTCThis is wonderful! I look forward to seeing the effects you will use to finish it -- there are hints in the sketch, I want to see if I'm guessing right! ^_^ Your work is always worth waiting for. You have a real talent, and part of talent-used-well is striving to improve yourself. Well done, you!

2016-11-06 10:54:40 +0000 UTCWow. A lot of animals to have all over the place, really, so I'm very happy you managed to tame them and put them into the picture instead of, let's say, your fridge or the roof. ;)
