Hi Selli,  I think you would be perfect as a story book illustrator.  You mentioned being weak on sales. I will give you a little secret...A good product always sells itself.  Anyone who is trying hard to sell you something is making up for the weak points in the product.

YOU HAVE A GOOD PRODUCT...it is perfect for book illustrations. You do not have to sell anything, just present it and let your work do the talking.

 Make a connection with a writer and get busy!

Hi Seliot,  Thank you for your interest in my photographs.  To your question, The photos are manipulated with chemistry.  It is a very random process in which the outcome can be totally different from one image to the next.  I always wanted to be a painter and this technique enables me to still use a paintbrush.  Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed your tree images (Long Uphill).....Cheers, Robb

Hi Selliot,

Thanks for your comments about my work. I love your detailed work. So we are even...I can't image doing little details like what you do and you can't imagine doing giant work like I do.  We all have our own paths, don't we? Love the tree! It has a real personality. Reminds me of the trees in Lord Of The Rings. I think they were the Ents. Old, wise and sassy.  Your perspective is great on it. Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Selliot!! Thank you for visiting my page. You asked about my Magueyes they are acrylic. I work mostly watercolor and acrylic, sometimes pastel. Your tree pieces most of all the Concerned mother, are incredible. You can't imagine how a huge tree fan I am!!!  When my daughter asked me: Mom what animal you would wanna be? she freaked out when I told her: I want to be a tree! she doesn't understand why! Trees are what makes my life on this planet worthliving, do you Know the Ceiba tree? tree of the mayan culture? If not I will tell you about it. See you....

thank you for the comments on "the barn" it is done with oils in a wet-on-wet technique. I prepared the canvas by crackling it first. Thats what give the picture it unique look. It was really fun to do. I learned to paint thru the Bob Ross organization but I do my own thing. I now do encaustic, too

Thanks again
