Nah; I capitalize Love because I think it's a capital thing. :) I always try and use it capitalized in connection with River (who I just happen to adore); but sometimes I forget to do so in other places (or don't do so on purpose, for contrast).

Hmmm... you capitalize the word love every time you use it. This wouldn't happen to be a nod to Dante Aligheri's Vita Nuova refering to love as his "Lord" or "God", would it?

yeah, just remember that technique can all be learned, it's having something to say that's the hard part and it seems like you've found your muse.

Best advice I can give you is to look for some books on composition and design... that's what anyone with art training is going to be looking for anyways (plus I never really 'got' abstract and modern art until I understood some of that stuff.)

Also, there's some really great talent here, but it's still just a fansite, not an art gallery. This is still my favorite submission so far:

Asarian you fill me with hope.
I say this because I get so caught up in my world that I forget there are nice, decent people out there, well you're one of those people.

I hope you keep on being sensitive and that you keep up the things that make you happy. I forget most days reading your entry reminded me.
Thanks Asarian.

Have a shiny week and walk soft

well, glad you figured that out ;) i never much think of art one way or anotehr, but thinking about it, i tend to agree, about the importance of the personal aspect. never tried river-art myself, tend toward other outlets. go you though!
