I "Grant" you that, fellow Scotsman . . .

Aye, Grant:

So good to hear from you, Grant. My father's forebears are from the sod of
Scotland. At one point I had dreams of visiting the homeland. Brownlee is
a Scottish name. But I'm too old now, and the airport security is a major
hassle. Gripe Gripe. . .

Originally my name was referring to a terrain feature, as in Greenleigh,
such as a meadow. So your kind words hit close to home, laddy. . . AND
Brigadoon . . . is my all time favorite musical on Broadway.

I do so appreciate you taking time to post your comments. Wishing you
a bonny day, and a stellar weekend,

The Rickster

Greetings, David

David:

I do appreciate your remarks David. It was kind of you to take time to
respond. You mentioned the colours. And I think that is one of the parts
about this fantasy piece that has made it so much fun to do.

As I wrote to another Planeteer earlier, I sat down with my sketch pad and
box of Prismacolour Pencils and figured out what colours I wanted to use
and determined what order they would be in as I was planning to "blend"
the oil colours from one colour to another, as much as possible.

Have a great weekend, David, and thanks again,

Rick

Hello Brian in Britain. . .

Hi Brian:

Thank you so much for your comments; I do appreciate it, and that you took
the time to do so. Like you, I think the blues and greens are colours that
people find soothing and peaceful, in some regard.
And that is my favorite side of the colour wheel; i.e. the Turquoise,
aqua, blue violet, and the various shades of Blues and Greens.

Thanks again, and have a great weekend,

The Miami Jayhawk

Ah Yes, Greetings to the Good Doctor. . .

Hello Doctor Pepper:

It is always good to read your comments, my friend. And thanks for your
remarks posted on my "Mickey Finn" thread.

Perhaps. . . ahem. . . you could say I "slipped 'em a Mickey" Groan! 8-(

Perhaps not?

Thanks again, Steve. I wish you well, and hope you'll be telling us about
your next project soon. We haven't heard anything from the Pepper Plant
(alright now Rick, enough already) production team in a while.

Inquiring minds want to know. Will there be news at Eleven? What are you
working on, mate?

Hello to the Gothic Geek. . .

Aw Mark:

It is always so good to hear from you, my friend. (Of course, I am rather
slow with my projects, since I can't work too many hrs. at the bench each
day. . . take days off now and then, to avoid neck and back pain, for this old
body. So I don't post project very often.)

But I do so appreciate your very kind words, Mark. I am having a lot of
fun with this project. And frankly, I am surprised it has received such nice
words from the Planeteers since it is not a Historical figure. But we do have
such a nice group of ladies and gentleman here. And you sir are certainly
one of the really class gentlemen at Planet Figure. I have mentioned before
I see your WIP and SBS tutorials as so helpful and very interesting as well.

Best wishes to a fine weekend, Mark,
