Additional Notes

— About my art —

Another early version of the I’m Sorry Flower. This was the eighteenth version of the original I'm Sorry Flower. This is the one I used to make the small version of the I'm Sorry Flower.

I made this version of the I'm Sorry Flower on September 01, 2000. That was the same day I met a new friend online, that I would later nickname, Sunshine.

I had started colorizing the original version of the I’m Sorry Flower just a few days before, on August 28, 2000. I do that sometimes. I will start a project, and then set it aside for a while, or even for several years, before I get back to it.

I never consider any of my art to be truly finished. They are all still works in progress, even if it may take a decade, or more, before I get back to work on some art projects. Perhaps, I will never get back to work on many of my art projects, but they are there if I do want to work on them again. I guess I prefer it that way. As long as I am still alive, there is something I can still work on, when the mood strikes.

By the way, the sharp-eyed among you have noticed that the vine tiles, that I use to decorate the top content areas of the Garden Gallery, is made from the stem and leaves of the I'm Sorry Flower. This image shows the final step in the making, or in this case, re-working, of the vine tiles, before the image is chopped into thirteen pieces. twelve of those pieces becoming the vine tiles. The center section is discarded, along with the outer guide-border. Thus, when I numbered the individual vine tiles, the number seven tile is missing, because that piece is not used in the web page design of this site.

This is a newly reworked alternate version of the Evening I'm Sorry Flower.

I see that it still needs more work, but I am done working on it for now.

Both versions of the original Evening I’m Sorry Flower were made on the same day. Likewise, both of these new versions were finished on the same day, December 1, 2015.

Of the two versions, a special friend liked the one posted up in the top display area best, and that is why it is on top.
