Hi and welcome to the artworld of A Fleeting Glimpse, none of the art i do is planned (after Pulse i can no longer make that claim) ! i like to 'Shape the colour' rather than 'Colour the shape' which means it can be a day or 5 mins before an idea forms, my attempts at planned art normally end up in 'File D for Disaster' anyway as you would expect all the art work is achieved using Paint.Net
Thanks for taking the time to stop and look at my art , hope it brings some degree of pleasure

Bird Bath
The insperation behind 'Bird Bath' is Helens 'Splashing Fun' a conversation with Nicki and a memory of a bath time story concerning my then 4yr old daughter Chrissy which involved a multi-coloured parrot, a magic bird bath and her becoming the parrot and what she would look like with wet fethears

I'd noticed these new ones on the official board ... they're bigger there ? They all look great. Love the colours of the space scene, Eye of the Storm is freaky in a good way Time looks awesome ... have you tried a shiney chrome outer on it ?
My fave for now is the AFG, in your interpretation of LFC's tut' That's eye popping
Beautiful, I like them all, look so clean, When Time Began try to make the rings same angle as the planet, both of them should rotate around one axis, and distort the clouds they look just like normal clouds not like nebula, but the colors are very nice. And the others are just awesome, especially the Time is it 100% PDN, I know you mentioned that but I mean no from scratch?
@ WelshBlue ~ Put up larger versions now, i was unsure of size restrictions, i did try an outer shine but it seemed to take it into over kill and some how shift the focus away from the watch face
@ Helen ~ First Oma and now you have humbled me with a comment, thank you Helen , im in good company... (insert humble smilie)
@ Sidneys1 ~ Thanks
@ Sargon III ~ Thanks for pointing out the Rings, i knew something was wrong but could not figure out what the clouds are ment to look like that as opposed to Nebula as i was trying to achieve the look of Earth/Planet begining to form and yes 'Time' is 100% Paint.Net

Seems like I have finally visited this gallery...sorry for the very late response. My favorite piece thus far is "Time." Very good work, the only issue I have is the wristband part, but it is a good piece.
When Time Began is gorgeous. I think I might have stopped breathing Its honestly one of the best spacescapes I've seen. Hopefully you'll be making more of them! I have to agree with WelshBlue on Eye of the Storm. That's one freaky eye. I really like the center of Time but the watch band looks a bit off..Maybe if it were thicker and coming from under the piece instead of on top? In any case they're all great! Keep up the good work.

Book of Dreams is awesome. I love the simplicity (if you know what I mean ?) Such a clean image. Not sure if the planet choice is the best, but it's not my image Everything else tho' is perfect in my eyes ...

Very nice storybook. It looks like a children book getting ready to grow into a fairy tale. Reminds me of "The Bridge of Teribitha." (I think I killed that last word).
I love the newest piece. I really like how the tree and flowers turned out. I have to agree Lance, it reminds me of Bridge to Terabithia too. Its one of my favorite children's books.
Welsh : your right about the planet, it was a 'i need something more in there' moment and as usuall it shows, fingers crossed the final result will be given to my Granddaughter for her first birthday in Oct.
Lance : as its for my Granddaughter thats the effect i was hoping to achieve not sure about the spelling so im siding with SOT as its her fav childrens book i think she has the edge
shadowsoftears : i was thinking 'a' is for apple when doing the tree , hence the foliage being capital/small A's....now im off to look at Bridge to Terabithia

Wonderful Book of Dream, the tree is so beautiful and I love it for two reasons, first the shape is very nice, and 2nd how it pops up from the book page with the two flowers, I like the happy hello moon also for same reason, colors are awesome, the only thing needs some correction is the cover of the book, it is out of perspective comparing to the book itself.

Mind you, I have never read the book, but I have seen the movie. My wife raved about the book, and it was enough for me to watch the movie. Very moving pictures it was.
