Hi Joan, fantastic to see Neytiri again, it is a beautiful likeness and painting. I've seen the movie twice so far. Am in love with the Na'vi people. Have a look at my profile pic. I mixed the DNA of Na'vi with my DNA and the profile pic shows the mix. :)))) xxx

THank you Umesh. I liked your "Morning in a Contemporary World'" and your very true message. Even here where I live, there is so much building going on that the beautiful farms and woods are disappearing. Too much concrete and not enough fresh air.

Hi Joan I have seen the movie but your painting is hundred times better than the movie. Your painting had expression and energy in it.I love your ultramarine face rather than the green face of Avatar in the movie.Your colour is far more better and artistic thant the real movie.It is a great work of art. Thank you for sharing.

That is so nice of you to say Raymond. In reading your bio, and viewing your work, I really love your style. You are so fortunate to be able to exhibit, and to visit Paris! Je parle Francais un peu, mais Paris, non! That is wonderful and I thank you for your kind compliment.

I have been looking at this work, for the last week or so, not knowing what to say about it, i must say that avitar must of had a tremendous hold on you, and left good impression
I have heard, that it has had an impact so great, that some have been known to have had a depression, and a feeling of remorse, for not actually a being real life senario.
As i have not seen it myself, i must say, wow, this is bigger than Jesus.
Love the work, that you have done, and the remarkable life likeness, you have intended, to give on one of its carictors.
great work jarestar.

Joan Butler Gore

I was drawn into the imaginary world of Pandora and would like to see the film again. I went for the art backgrounds, the special effects and color, but it was also a very touching story. It didnt leave me depressed at all, but inspired to capture some of the feeling of the film. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you Debbie. I would also like to beam myself down into that wonderful magic world, without those slimy panthers, of course. I knew you would love it, with your love of fantasy, shown so beautifully in your paintings. Have you ever looked at Linda Ravenscrofts;s Paintings/books about fairies? You would love them.

lol, i forgot to say how well you painted her, the film was such an artistic paradise!! and i think ive come across her books,actually ..are they the diary faeries? i think i know the paintings.

Im not sure about diary fairies, but I love the way she paints. In fact there is a Faerie Magazine that I would like to subscribe to but some of the illustrations just look like pin ups and thats not what I want.
