oh, you paint, too? I like them!!! the vivid colours and the simplicity of the lines.

what a surprise :-) I used to paint too, but somehow it ended when I discovered photography.

Roxana, yes I liked to sketch some scenes where I traveled with no talent in drawing. I envy Herman Hesse, a German Writer, a lot because of his travel essay with lots of sketches of pastel tone.. I've skethed this one on my Tablet Notebook PC which I can draw with water color effect with electronic pen directly on the computer screen. Good to see you like them. :p

Roxana said...

oh, you like Hermann Hesse? and do you know his pastels?
so this is computer drawing, wow, I would have never believed! do you have more like that?

Peter said...

I prefer this computer based sketch since I can delete and redraw at anytime even stroke by stroke basis.. and I can make the island bigger or smaller or I can animate for smoking volcano or bird flying across the canvas.. like cartoon..

But Roxana, these are just for fun for myself without cause I don't have any real talent.. :-(

Great painting. Volcanoes are big problems in Philippines, Indonesia, South America, USA and others.

Roxana said...

but having joy at what one does is the most important thing, Peter. and sharing, who needs to worry about talent :-)
I mean it.

Brad: It might be problem for some people affected by the erruptions but active volcano a real symbol of live earth which is physically breathing. You coudn't find any active volcanic activities on the other planets like Venus, Mars etc..

Roxana: I love your comment as always. ^_______^
