"...How I became mindless, part of a dark power that was black, but made of many colors, something warm, blind, painful, emotionless; something direct and deep, without sympathy." ~Beth Powning

An ominous pall haunts her lovely face. Superb piece!

I think this is better than the Rossetti, and he is one of my top 5 painters ever.

aw wow!
I don't peronally like Rossetti much, but his Annunciation always struck me as so amazing - despite the winky perspective.

saintslove In reply to meluseena [2007-07-26 18:59:31 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that is one of my favorites of his as well. I like the symbolism he used and the colors to corresspond with that. Your face is wonderful though, you can feel her emotion.

jigsaw-girl [2007-07-10 05:11:03 +0000 UTC]

amazing and gorgeous. she seems to have the texture of softness, of velvet and you want to console her...but too ethereal, she cannot be touched in this sadness. <3
