Courage: knowing what scares me and doing it anyway http://little13wolf.deviantart.com/gallery/ Been years since I have done a full painting, and they were just gathering dust in a tube in the shed, now they are on my wall and out there for all to see. In saying that feedback is always appreciated DMD aka LW

You can clearly see the Gatchaman influance in the face masks!! Love them all though! Well done for biting the bullet and getting them up there

Those are wonderful, LW I think I like the dragonfly and the face masks the most!

Awesome, LW! I love your masks! And your other work is lovely, too! I'll be sure to welcome you over there!

So glad you've joined DA -thank you for sharing your work!

Love the masks as well as the "Tin Soldier" painting. The Dragonfly one caught my interest as well.

Those are great, LW. Congrats!

Thank you everyone, for your support and comments on Devianart, I'll post more as I find them in my clean out. Clouddancer "One Tin soldier" had not name for years until I remember a movie called "The Trial of Billy Jack" 1974 and the song that went with it, it's amazing how active my muse gets with music Listen children to a story that was written long ago 'bout a kindom on a mountain and the valley folk below on the mountain was a treasure buried deep beneath a stone and the valley people swore they'd have it for their very own CHORUS: go ahead and hate your neighbor go ahead and cheat a friend do it in the name of heaven you could justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing come the judgment day on the bloody morning after One tin soldier rides away So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill, asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they'd kill. Came an answer from the kingdom "with our brothers we will share. All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there." Now the valley cried with anger,"mount your horses, draw your swords" And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red. Turned the stone and looks beneath it; PEACE ON EARTH was all it said.

I remember that was a song, it was one I used to enjoy singing along to when it was played on the radio. I had not realized it had been used in a movie.

I remember the movie and the song. Hadn't thought about them in years. It's a very visual song.

I remember that song too -learned it in music class in (I think) grade 3- but I had no idea there was a movie that it went with. Will have to look up the movie to see what it's about... ETA: Found this on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qswm7lHp7oY

Oh, LW ... those are just wonderful! I love the way you introduced different colours which make the pieces seem so lively! The Dragonfly one is my favourite, not leaving out the masks! Am just eager to see more of your creations! I'm also so glad that you've decided to come out and join DA ... will surely welcome you there also at some point in time since it's taking a while for me to log in every now and then!

LW I Love your use of color! Thanks for posting them.
