This is one of my early Painter experiments with learning the software - I was in a very moody not quite depressed frame of mind that day - the weather was gray & cloudy, things were not going quite the way I wanted them to be and I was trying to cheer myself up as well as concentrate on making something good happen in my life. This is the result :)

This painting named itself because I could see all the thorns but it was not a frightening mess but a very interesting display of balance coming together with lots of brightness taking center stage.

I also think it would look fabulous on the new metal plates!

I am an Iowa native who lived in the state about 40 years who then lived in Texas for the next 20 years. In November 2010, I moved to South Dakota. In August 2019, I moved to the Charlotte area of North Carolina. I am a hobby photographer as well as both a Hobby Artist and a Professional Artist. I work in Watercolors, India Inks, Iridescent Inks and digital pixie-ons. I generally use 140 lb watercolor paper for my traditional artwork. I used to paint in oils .. using the Bob Ross methods/paint .. but arthritis & fibromyalgia took that away from me .. digital painting returned that creative ability to me! I used to use Corel Painter but it has gotten too expensive for me to keep up with the yearly upgrades .. plus the newer versions...
