Artist's Comments
Note: I apologise to those people watching me who have received notification of this image twice- the first time round it didn't appear in my gallery, and resubmitting it didn't help anyway.
When painting out-of-doors, there are many hazards to an impending masterpiece that artists resign themselves as having to put up with- wind, rain, and curious onlookers to name a few. However, as Ella the Monsterette set up her easel in a breezy back-alley in Rome, the telltale ruffling of feathers alerted her to a much more insidious danger- the hazard of perching pigeons above. Ella had suffered the harsh critiques of pigeons marring her other canvases, and she knew this would not do. The rotund little monster picked up her art materials and shuffled off to the end of the alley, where the light was best and the avian dangers scarce. Soon enough, the pigeons followed her, hoping for scraps. As the wind picked up, smallclothes and leaves flying through the air, Ella sighed. Perhaps her masterpiece could wait another day.

Does this tickle your fancy [link]
Anyway, I hope my last comment didn't load, so I won't sound like a broken record...
Great painting! I agree with SDB, whose comment won't show for me now, that's she's adorably ugly. her expression is priceless! Also, great job on the windy motion of the picture; I can just about hear the wind blowing!
The assorted undergarments are funny! I also find it hilarious that you've put a little dragon in with the pigeons. Talent AND personality! Typical Donna.

I was just wondering what Ella's painting would look like... hmmm... dead pigeons + pigeon poop I think. Blah. I sound like an idiot.

So, no worries over that DA problem... They can be seen when browsing, so you're still getting publicity! I have seen a TON of double posts because artists are sure their submissions haven't gone through. If you see someone else confused over this problem, help them out! I've had to tell a few.

I suppose some of the things I do might make me a "bad person" by definition, but I don't care. If those around me can't stop from doing silly things, who am I to help them hide said things from the rest of the world? I'm gonna point it out and laugh!
A great idea and stunning colors...very good!
