Thank you Lynnie, glad you enjoy it. I painted this from a magazine photo, so it's "realness" is anyone's guess.

NICE sandcastle! That was my favorite thing to do as a kid. But I would build entire cities for my matchbox cars,(we had one in the back yard)My brother, would come a long and actually use the roads, how dear him! I yelled every time because he ruined my creation! This my friend is a beautiful creation just on paper!!

Wow Nicole! It makes me really happy to know that my work brought all those memories flooding back to you. THAT's what our art should be all about, making our viewers think!

True that! AND just to let you know I changed my profile picture, not avatar, profile to show you exactly how hard you had me laughing! Drooling and snorting can be for your late thirties as well! LOL

Kirk WitmerCONFESSIONS OF A PIL JUNKIE
After a year and a half of being involved with PIL I came to realize that I will have to limit the amount of time I give to the site. I've been spending so much time with the social aspects of PIL that it is keeping me from being productive as an artist. I'll continue to share some of my work here and will read comments from time to time, but I recognize that I must greatly limit the time I can afford for the interactive aspects of the site. I'm sorry about making this very difficult decision but I'm feeling a great need to keep my hands off the keyboard and the mouse and instead fill them with brushes and pencils.
I wish all of you reading this the very best in your artistic endeavours and I will be watching...
