Thank you Rob. This is so cool - it helps a lot. I'm not going to be able to actually apply any of this until this weekend but I will definitely be posting my results from it. Can't wait. But in the meantime I wanted to say thank you!

Finally done! Rob et al, I want to thank you for your help on this. I've given it over to his parents and they love it! Whew!

I'll be posting pictures later tonight.

Thanks again!

Okay, here's the final piece. As per my usual underwhelming photographing and photoshop skills, the colors look a bit darkish and overbearing. His parents loved it and are very happy. (whew...deep breath.)

Thanks again for all advice, feedback, etc. I can't tell you how much it all helped.

Great job, Julie! I'm so glad everything worked out on this one in the end... especially the part about happy clients!

Thanks for allowing me to be a second set of eyes on this one. We all need that at some time or another.

After this piece, the next one will be even easier! Well, sometimes that's true. I mean, lightning can strike twice. I remember learning that the last time I visited NCAR.

[Julie Gerleman]

Um. I work at NCAR. Did I mention that on this site? Or is that just a coincidence?

Thanks for the help!

[Rob Sullivan]

It says so on your website, Julie.

I'm kind of a weather geek (note the clouds behind me in my avatar - that's one of a dozen cloud paintings of mine), so I thought it was totally cool that you worked there. Hope you don't mind that I mentioned it!

I illustrated a weather book for kids a while back. It's called "Can It Rain Cats And Dogs" by Melvin and Gilda Berger, published by Scholastic. Not my best work, but it was fun. I'm a much better cloud painter now. I took Meteorology 101 and 102 as my science requirement for my BFA, and it's been very helpful to have that knowledge.

Talk to you soon!
