Description
Under the ancient fortress, is a secret lake. ONly the sorceress and the swans know the hidden way in.
Tommorrow is my birthday and I am having a hard time with it. I do not want to grow old gracefully! I still feel like a teenager. I can't imagine why time has speeded up as I grow older, but the years fly by. My babies are now adults on their own, my husband is ready to retire, and quite frankly, it scares me. Oh, to be 21 again and know everything I know now. Wishful thinking of many people.
Thank you for your comments! I look forward to them!!!!!!

Beautiful scene and story line. Happy Birthday!! I know exactly how you feel but as long as you think you are a teenager then you will be. Keep your creative spirit and live 100 years. I hope you had a great day.
Oh wow Sweetie this is a great scene! A big happy birthday to you as well even though I know what you mean about growing older - it is scary :)
Wow This is Gorgeous!! Happy Birthday!
Wow, wow and wow again. This is superb, I totally love the beautiful reflection work you did here and the soft ripples in the dark water. This has such a great atmosphere. Despite your trepidations I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Well, sorry for the belated birthday greetings. I know what you mean, I still think of myself as I did in my 20's so it is hard to believe that so much more time has gone by. The kids these days, they never even heard of the Super 6 - facing danger just for kicks. Beautiful scene as always. Cheers!
A great and beautiful render!
I Hopy you had a wonderful birthday nvertheless, Sherrie...smile... you know, getting older has it's merrits, you can choose what you want to do and you have the means to do it and the talent, as you show again in this wonderful render!
A couple days late to say Happy Birthday, hope it was great! This image is absolutely gorgeous! The lighting and reflections stellar!
After a certain age, we are ALL younger inside than our bodies will allow us to be. Take the time to find something significant to do in your new season of life - find a good cause and volunteer, take the art class you've never seemed to have time for, travel, find old friends and reconnect - you are in a unique position to do things you could not do before! Lovely image - although I couldn't help but remember a certain laundry room mishap a few years ago LOL!
Nice
a belated happy birthday and she is a charming beauty and wonderful props
Happy Birthday Sherrie! Very nice scene & reflection!
Excellent work I love her hair :) Cathy xoxoxo
21 again? Sorry, but there's no way you're getting those eight years back. And don't talk "old", I have some serious fantasies going on about you and I don't want them shattered. Get Buddy some blinders and you'll be fine. Oh, and the pic...I always think you go a little too heavy on the shadows, but it works out well on this one.
Very beautiful work!!
SPLENDID WORK
Nice, very nice pic. Happy Birthday!
Excellent!
Oh, happy birthday Sherri! I don't know where the time has gone either! lol I remember the 70s and now look at us! lol Cellphones, computers, Ipods! All we want now is a recycled Mini Moke! lol Excellent! Steve :o)
A splendid work of art and a fine secret! Beautiful artistry and reflections!
Late Happy b-day wishes! Excellent composition! (:
Very nicely done!
BEAUTIFUL JOB on this!!! WOW!!!!!!!!
Splendid image and water
Excellent work, Sherrie, and congratulations on your birthday and coming retirement. Remember, the only thing to fear is fear itself, and come what may, you'll always be the extremely talented artist we've all come to know and love.
Wonderful! ")
Awesome scene! I hope you had a great birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday! I hope it was fun. Beautiful image! Wonderful reflections and light! I like the shadow of the hand on the pillar.
WOW! Your artwork is SUPERB! It's not a wonder you get so many comments! This too is gorgeous! Love the water! As to growing old ... I know what you are going through. I will be hitting 50 in October! That really SUCKS! I too feel no older than say ... 20 in my mind. The years have flown by faster and faster as I get older. Well, let's hope there is more to come and that it is better than what we have now. If so, I say let's get this dance over with and move on. : )
Happy "belated" birthday and great work with the reflection here.
