I loved this painting called "The Three Menaces", by so much that, with her permission, I did a version of it myself, an homage if you like. Thank you Pamela

Please visit her gallery and favourite lots of her work and I also wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year

So many pretty pictures on D.A!!.
My, that's so well done!!
It's not enough people, you must portray the ugly side of yourself too, hiding your darkness under smooooooooth technique is telling lies!!
Here are some examples of brave artists for whom pretty picture making is not enough
:enjoy!!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

...Robert Frost

One of these images has 9 favourites, the other has 99.
Can you guess which has which?

''Stay, O sweet, and do not rise;
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not, it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part
John Donne
