I like what you are doing with this. I am excited to see just where you take it.

Thanks Jeff, I am very clumsy with intentional art in Peacock. It takes a more orderly mind that I possess, I like things more messy and spontaneous...this seems like a childs drawing to me. I'll have to play around with it to tousle it up a bit :)

This is lovely!

This makes me excited for spring! Awesome image.

Well it looks great.

What little I know about Peacock from being inside and playing with it, is that to do intentional art takes time inside playing, trying, experimenting to learn how to get the program to do what you want it to do. You see whats in your heard and you think MAN how can I get there.

Feeling Clumsy is the only way you can feel at this point that is normal

When we first start walking we will wobble a little from time to time, but the next thing we know are running marathons and receiving gold metals.

As far as your style of liking things just a little messy and more spontaneous, so do I.
But trying new things, styles, textures and technics can only enhance our artworks in ways that we can't even imagine. No one can. If we as artists, writers, poets and teaches always stay in the range of confident and familiar, and never try to see thing and do things in new ways, outside of what we like or think is normal it takes the creativity out of creating.

I think what you have up there is amazing and if you stay right there that is fine. If you give it less structure, that is fine also either way it will be a wonderful work of art.

But if you have a OVER WHELMING URGE inside of you to make it messy just because that is NORMALLY what you would do.

Then I would challenge you to leave it just as it is.

Thank you, good words and advice and YES the urge is there aaahhhhhhh so I added some storm clouds lol and I'm done!

I love the clouds... it is a wonderful creation.


For me I have struggle with it for years. I am such a perfectionist, details, details, detail, everything has to be just so. Its the Virgo in me. But I have come to realize that is not creating, only compulsive behavior that can lead to blindness of imagination LOL

very nice creation, having done it with peacock and raven gives even more worth to it =)
(for me at least XD)
you got some very nice results by "playing around" ^^

umm its ok !

lol

You did some magic... I like the way you put it together. Makes perfect sense when you see someone else do it!

Well done Red Star!
