Artist's Comments



Here I sit, stripped of my identity in your presence, stripped of all the truths and fallacies, ideas and ideals once placed upon me.

Just me, tiny me, not frightened anymore, not scared of what may lay ahead, and what may not.

Just this moment, in this moment, a moment of clarity...

... that fish can fly.

+ part traditional (paper textures) part digital (drawing)
+ a re-do of an earlier piece - it's personal
+ fun times with colours again... =]

Great painting, I like very much the colors.

the only thing that looks a little odd to me is the line from her chin.

but beside that, that's an excellent concept with the fish (:

Thank you.

And yeah, there are a few off bits actually, but it's nice for me to just try and forget "perfection" for a little while. =]

The head pose looks a bit stiff, but everything else is superb.

Oh brother....the whole world's a critic.
Listen, I have to tell you, this little piece and your poem are like---whatdoyacallit---serendipidous. Over time, your pieces and postings have caused me, the photographer and writer (because i can do THOSE things) to buy some moleskine notebooks, some pens i love to fondle and use and carry around, and to start sketching things i see and things i imagine. This piece here says it all. How does the song go..."you're my soul and my inspiration....." :clap: :bow: :lol:

wonderful idea and colors though i am usually a orange-hater...
it's good to see something of you again. it feels like ages since your last piece. i checked your gallery and see it was only about a week, oh well ;)
you're a highlight in my watchlist every time so i am looking forward to each piece :)
