Strange; odd; unique and cool but Jan, you've peaked my interest this morning and am enjoying this piece.Bless you heart for trying to kick the habit.

Great work!!

This is a really nice, original, take on the Green Man.
Faved as this is a great image and holds meaning for me.

wow Jan... nicely done! I have faith in you!! You can quit!! :) Just keep these things up cause they're way better than smoking! haha Really though, this is super fun and very beautifully painted. The colors are superb!

Multicolored man! wonderful work Jan.
Great job.

Excellent, my lady of many talents! Looks like a painted wood carving. Very well done and good luck quitting. I did about twenty years ago. What a relief to be rid of the old ball and chain! You can do it! I know you can and look at all the wonderful creative things you'll be doing instead. (Not to mention the money you'll be saving). Every week or so that you go without, reward yourself with a new piece of equipment or some art supplies! lol

Go on...have a roll!..you deserve it for this...

A 'ham' roll I mean!.....

A talented lady I always knew you'd be!...

Hey Jan, this is absolutely terrific! It has an almost lithograph look about it, thanks to the way you've graduated and melded the colours so beautifully. I wonder perhaps, if the glint in the eyes should both be the same? A really creative and colourful piece of work!

So glad to see you painting again and congrats on giving up the weed! Wishing you every success, my friend.

Is that an abstract of Nigel? LOL. Very nicely done, Jan.

Always thought there was a touch of pagan in you. Nice image. Good luck with the fags, I gave up the weed last year and still get temptations.

Well, I like it Jan, nice work girl.

Faved and Saved.

Wow Jan - Brilliant - Keep off the fags If I can do it for over a year after smoking for about 35 years I am sure that you can.

Neat work Jan.

Think being creative this way will be very helpful to quit smoking Jan. Wish you a lot of succes. I did stop smoking when I was only five years old. Don't smile as it is the truth:
Got as a joung boy a pipe of stone intended for blowing bubbles. As my father was a pipe smoker I asked him for some tobacco. Although my mother protested, he filled and lighted it. Then I started blowing into the pipe. "Wrong", said my father, "you have to suck and inhale." Ten minutes later I had to to go to the toilet. I was that sick that I never smoked again!
Regards, Cornelius.

ahhhh you are so arty Jan! :P love it! what a great face - love your imagination!

i am soooooo impressed. you truly are talented.

Reminds me of a scene from the Twilight Zone about a man that quit smoking,went crazy and became trapped in the glass at the local tobacco shop. Not of that is true, but it would make a nice show. Great work on the painting and I will join the list of quitters. It will be three years in October. Heart attacks do that to you. Glad you beat the devil.

Very talented you are!!! Good luck with giving up smoking. Lyn.

Strange stuff to me, but if you do as good a job at quitting smoking as you do always do here then you will succeed. We will then see more creations, with no smoke. The best of luck to you.

A very creative piece of work Jan. Very nicely done

Ed

Intriguing piece pal!! Me likes!! Great job and keep stayin' smoke free!! I'd like to quit too!!

Wow..this is really good! Is this a copy of something or is this your original work? It's really fantasy either way...hope it helps you to stop smoking!

wonderful work :)

What can I say? It's on my desktop. You should start smoking again and quit so we can see more of these marvelous creations..lol..

Very creative.

:)PJ

Fantastic creation! I love it.
Wish you good luck with quitting and please do keep your hands busy like this.

I really like this a lot Jan! I like that funny face and it does have beautiful eyes. Wonderful colors and a very creative painting. Very well done!

Please not give up. I like this one very much

This has a very different "vibe" to it when xfered to the desktop. Extremely energetic work - quitting smoking must be complicated psychologically and spiritually.

WOW.......you're talented Jan. I have problems drawing a stick man. LOL I think this is great........people of the forest. They are out there too. :)

Jan you are the cats meow, whatever that means. lol. Best wishes and nice work. Dwight.

Hmm I'm not impressed by JimBob's comment but I am impressed with your artistic ability! Long may the non-smoking continue Jan, especially if it means more posts like this.

Jan, you are really talented! I think this is brilliant work. Glad to know you're trying to refrain from smoking by doing something else. Good luck to you.

I fully agree, you are so talented! Really great piece Jan!

This is a great interpretation of the Green Man and what a suitable theme - symbolising rebirth - no more fags!!

I think I will leave this on my deaktop to encourage me to do the same.

You are very talented - :)

Love the primal scream on your green man. Hope your still doing well without the smokes. When I gave them up 13 years ago, one of the this that helped me was screaming, LOL. Good for me but drove my husband mad, he he.
