Description Acrylic on canvas, 16x20 inches.

A new piece.

I didn't linger over long on this one as other ideas are encroaching (what a sophisticated sounding sentence!).

Thanks for looking

This is gorgeous. The dark black makes the beautiful crisp colors of spring so much more vibrant and brilliant. In some metaphorical way it reminds me of Golgotha, to the death, and then to the joy of Easter, all at once (but maybe that's just the crosses). Either way, this is amazing.

Almost everything reminds me of Golgotha these days. I suppose one would describe it as a medieval mindset, for want of a better term

Aye, and certainly not a poor mindset to have.

Both the girl and the rock she was standing on put Hawaii into my mind ... although considering we just came out of still another evil Indiana winter, maybe everything I see reminds me of Hawaii!

I like this one as it has a multitude of different feelings in it.. at least for me.
For example it reminds me of the "coloss of rhodus" if that is written corectly... so as for that it looks very majestic to me! And seeing the birds above her head tell me that she actually could be that tall (the birds could also be far in the background anyways, but it's just an idea)
Also; it's on a mountain or something and snow lays around and the stuff she is wearing, it reminds me of northern mythology a tiny bit... she doesn't remind me of a goddess, no, but of the little girls with her flower crown on the head..
So on the one hand she looks very strong and majestic to me, on the other hand very fragile and precious.
It's well put together with a magnificent technique, keep it up!!

Pfff...
Her hair movement and the way she grabs her dress...
The sad feeling almost omnipresent except for the tiny flower of hope that seems to survive.

The white flowers are named Edelweiss (in french) [link] and "Onzième Printemps" would have been a perfect title in this particular context/or for this particular girl... if I correctly identify the red spots in the snow.
Beautiful work, both rich with symbols and ambiguity

Wow, that's... epic.

The black rocks remind me of lava flows in Hawaii, but the rest of it is pure KB. I'm seeing a crescent moon in the garland, and stars in the seabirds...
