 Have you ever wondered why Google.com delivers different results for a user in the US than for a user in Germany? This is a question I recently had to answer for a client, and it would have been much easier to send him to a link than to spend half an hour trying to explain what many skilled SEOs already know.  read...

Hi Ya Blog Artist...

Okay, I give up. I have been trying to comment on this post for the last fifteen minutes. Every time I start typing Blog Boy interrupts me. As soon as I remember what I was going to say I'll come back. I had this witty remark and now it's gone :)

TLW...ROAR!

I can tell you without hesitation that my daughter would LOVE that painting! She has been painting art like that since she was in grade school. Now she's in college, and every once in a while, I still find her unique, usually abstract art work when I least expect it. =)  I'm going to show her your painting as soon as she gets back from running my errands for me. LOL

Hi Marti-this is my second time over here, but this time I am commenting :)  Loved the new painting....and I could easily hang it in my bedroom as it would entertain me when I couldn't sleep :)  Hope all is well with you :)

Wow!! Beautiful peace of art!!  Reminds me of a Ansel Adams print!  So glad someone else does their best work in the middle of the night.    Your painting brings to mind a flourishing leaf plant.  Be back in a minute for my new Twitter friend!  Word Press  never did understand it.
