I had one too, a beautiful silver lighter, also a gift and it became one of my excuses for not stopping smoking. So one day I lit my last cigarette with it and left it by the river with the empty pack and walked away from smoking forever. My friends said "You can't just leave it there!!!" but I knew I had to...

Dor, you're making such wonderful progress with your painting : )

Comment by Dorian Aronson on June 27, 2012 at 7:52: I have taken it back to photoshop and gotten rid of that hard black lettering.............Oh and I thought it was so outstanding. I guess it was! Thank you, for all of your comments. And oh by the way that font is called coffeshop. I did not know that was the dunhill Logo! Thank you Dee. I had a dunhill once a very long time ago (a gift) and lost it....: (( Smiles.........dor:))

Comment by Dee Berridge on June 27, 2012 at 5:02: Dor, you've done a great job with this and I really like the contrast of the soft colour harmony on those strong simple shapes.
I agree with Saghi and Nancy that your signature is very distracting, partly because it's such hard black graphic lettering, not painted, but at least that means you can easily move it, reduce its size, soften the colour etc so it doesn't jump out so much. And I've been wondering what it reminds me of...is it something to do with Dior? No!...it's that elegant looking Dunhill logo : )

Comment by Dee Berridge on June 27, 2012 at 4:44: Dor, I like the contrast of this soft gentle colour harmony with the strong simple shapes. I agree with Saghi and Nancy that your signature distracts...looks like its applied digitally, not painted, which also makes it stand out but it does make it easier to move it, reduce the size, soften the colour etc so it doesn't jump out : )

Comment by Nancy Sands on June 26, 2012 at 16:49: Beautiful painting, Dor. You handled the gamut mask idea beautifully. The whole painting has such a comfortable feel to it. I hope you don't mind one comment. I notice that you put your name really dark and well into the painting. For me, because it is such a contrast to the area where it was placed, my eye goes to it first. It takes away from your gorgeous work of art. Anyway, just a thought. :-)

I like this one best - it has a nice composition and strong and interesting shapes. The color tones really compliment it by being soft. Nice job !
