I was going to nominate one of your pieces for a DD since I think your work deserves much more exposure, but I see you already have one! Oh well, I may still nominate a different piece

sadly it reminds me of the christina agulara "fighter" video (*shudders*) but other than that, this is very nice. the expression on the face is really poignant. good job!

i love it. very strong. and the swords... you know it makes me think of a pincushion. well, the magical glow of the swords lends a softness to it.. and then it also deepens the mystery of the beautiful, strong woman.
you have a great imagination. and great skill.

That is quite the striking image. How did you get the lighting right? Surely you didn't have those glowy things around you in real life...

I really like that this piece kept with the theme of the tarot 8 of swords, I love the way the woman in neatly bound and the swords surround her. While I appreciate and admire this amazing painting and it's inspired origins, I must say that it is not the beautiful 8 of swords representation that drew me to this, it is the woman pictured. The face, the eys, the expression, and the beauty of her. Every woman would be so lucky as to be as beautiful as this. I particularly like that there is no stated light source, i love that the light comes from somewhere else, somewhere we cant see. So i must say, amazing work, very nicely done. I look forward to seeing more. Keep up the good work!

I'm always impressed by those who can paint...
Psst: you're one of them

we all grow up, don't we? and the signs of age seem to change our face, the expression that used to be innocent, carefree, expectant of joy...now seems weary, mourning, keen and questioning...

Painting is always so lovely. Something I could never master.

Woah, I can only agree! This is awesome! It looks as if the light is coming from the bottom, just below the picture ... Reminds me a bit of Frida Kahlo's portraits!

i like how you are combining a pin cushion with a tarot card.
