From my five years here many have lost their souls and snuff the decision of a departure. Sadness for them all and this site who whant to advance? I believe that he declined. Part of the heart at each( broke)for those ingratitiudes. She will always be in my heart as an artist where skills have nothing to equal ((5 + +)) Depuis mes 5 année ici beaucoup ont perdus leur âme et ont prisent la décision d'un départ . Tristesse pour eux tous et ce site qui veus avancer?? Je croie bien qu'il recule . Une partie de coeur s'éfritte à chacunes de ses ingratitiudes . Elle restera toujours dans mon coeur comme une Artiste où les compétences n'ont rien d'égales ((5++))

I'm glad to see while reading the comments on your lovely image here that Lou checked in, Steve. I never saw her ever say a bad thing in any of her posts and was always glad when she took the time to view my creations. A fave from me for a nice dedi to an equally nice artist, well done.

EXCELLENT WORK! GREAT IMAGE!

very sorry to hear of your friends but a lovely tribute. I hope your friend comes back very soon hug

Great image and a heart felt one at that I do hope Lou returns as well and I never knew Mina Hubby got a job.........Yeah...tho a temp may turn in to full time Got the call yesterday went in today...I am tickled pink 3-11 so will be lonely used to him being around.......now it will seem awfully quite but hopefully peaceful as well LOL Hugs Susan~

Beautiful image, and an awesome dedication. Noticed she hasn't been around - hope everything's ok & we do see her again soon!

I am so sorry your friend has left, but I know the feeling as I have left here several times for different reasons. But I bet she'll be back, especially if she sees this wonderful work...touching in so many ways :-)

Bossie_Boots got to learn not to care what people say. i myself was attack 3 times here as people was trying to kick me off this site. i still here and most of the people that was attacking me is gone. i read about Van Gosh one time as he was close by to one of his painting when some one started yelling who the rat that painted this painting. it was no good and a lot of other stuff. van gosh just calmly say "i am the one" smiling. He also sat at places drawing and people would make bad comments behind his back as he could not draw at all. Van Gosh told his friend he did not care as he did not know these people and these people did not know him. what i saying is you got to have a thick skin and do what you wish to do. Like Mr. Van Gosh. he may not had money but look at him today; the most world renown artist. you may not be a trail blazer as Van Gosh was and help change the art world. but people do like your work. As for van gosh most people did not like his work when he was alive. They did not understand it is the main reason. At lest we understand your work. so do not take you your marbles and go home crying ; stand your ground

This is GORGEOUS! (and I miss Lou too!) :(

I agree with Jocko

WE all want Lou to come back...wonderful and touching tribute.

Truly amazing as the artist it is dedicated to, I too miss her and her work. Beautiful color and depth to this render. Absolutely incredible art!

such a sweet image, Steve. I'm so sorry she has left... I hope she comes back. :( why do people have to be mean to each other?

Splendid, very moody.

beautiful work my friend :)

I was also surprised that her gallery was cleared. But it is always better if you at odds with himself and the others to get a little distance. Maybe they will come back, maybe not. In any case, I will miss she not only as artist but also as an amiable people A beautiful picture and a heartfelt dedication!

Lovely work with the Blues! The bubbles add a extra dimension! Changing times!

A beautiful and heartfelt dedication to Lou - superb art, as always, Steve! I'm so sorry that Lou has left - I do hope she realizes that she has many friends here that miss her and her lovely art. I hope she does return.

It's a shame some people have to make others unwelcome so they can feel good about themselves. As renecyberdocpoints out, "there's room enough for everyone here". A wonderful tribute to Lou.

Sweet wonderful warm and cuddily render.

Really gorgeous work and hearfelt dedication. Hopefully she's just busy with life, I think we all know she has a mom in poor health. And I have to ask you I don't ever think I heard what happened with work, I know things were up in the air. I'm hoping everything worked out.

Excellent image and work :)

Very nice dedi!

Beautiful character and scene, outstanding work and dedication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellnet image, reminds me of Picasso's blue period- mandolin and semi-naked lady etc.

Very nice work Steve. I'm sorry to hear that Lou left, I had no idea (but I try not to get into the political things in any of the communities anymore, it hurts too much) I do hope she will come back. Is she posting work anywhere else now? This is a very sweet dedication.

very beautiful image

Sigh, I'm so out of the loop on this. This is just superb and a wonderful dedication to one of the sweetest people and best artists on Renderosity. I am very sad that she pulled her gallery and that she and Geoff are not posting. I just thought she was busy until I realized today it had been a long time since I had viewed her artwork. Superb and wonderful give, Steve. You have such a huge heart!
