Such an appropriate word for me this week because this entry makes my 100th post!
This blog has served me well in multiple ways this past year. I've found an art community I'm comfortable in and I've made multiple friends. I've shared multiple images and stories. I've used some subjects many times ( Ravens, for example) and I've been given multiple awards by some pretty special blogging friends. The joy in my life has multiplied by being a part of this experience.
Today I've chosen to post "The Spirit Of Raven" because of the multiple times his image appears in the sketch. Also, for those of you who recall my dream series, this represents after the pears were harvested, yet Raven's presence is still known.
Thanks for being with me for the first one hundred posts! I'm looking forward to many, many more.

To celebrate the holidays we asked some of our favorite people in publishing what their favorite book was. Let us know in the comments what your favorite book is and be sure to check back throughout the week for more “favorites”.

I found my favorite book early. My sister forced me to read The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster, when I was six and I have read it once every other year or so since. As I get older, the book ages with me, revealing new ideas on what it means to be clever, to be a hero, to have an adventure. Milo’s journey to bring peace to the warring kingdoms of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis are woven brilliantly into a tale about making the most of one’s time. Juster’s wordplay shines, and there is no foe more fierce than the Terrible Trivium, no friend more loyal than Tock the Watchdog. It’s my favorite book because I cannot pick my favorite part.

I really like how this piece reveals itself slowly. Nice play with the positive and negative space. Good stuff!
Balloons coming down! Excitement fireworks, and more beautiful ravens. You are such an inspiration.

Your raven themes are my favorite. This one definitely has an Escher vibe, but mostly has the soft, philosophical, mysterious and inspiring Lolo vibe.
So glad to have met you and can't wait to see the next beautiful thing you present to us.
Laurel, congrats on your 100th post! Thank you for sharing all the lovely works of yours. I really enjoy coming here.

Congrats on a 100! I look forward to many 100's more! and it's a beautiful 100th post- great design and pattern and colors- peaceful and energetic all at once. I'm seeing the bowl of pears' shadow as also a shadow of a person's profile- the bowl of pears sprouts from head and birds ceremoniously dance and fly around it.
Congratulations and jubilations... for your 100th post and your beautiful paintings!
Oh yeah, I see what Andy's talking about now. Like a dream. Cool!
