Lovely concept, amazing job! The nacre of the oyster looks wonderful! I like how you incorporated your signature dripy paint thingies. Very inspiring!

What can words do to convey the immense beautiful and artistry in this amazing piece? Token symbols for an outstanding creative piece that is breathtaking to the sight I suppose! Absolutely superb work on this piece, it's just perfect in every way!

not sure about your composition i'd have lost the oyster in the background

Raipun In reply to lady-shirakawa [2009-04-09 06:46:01 +0000 UTC]

I absolutely know what you mean. The original idea started out without the oyster. I just came across this magnificent shell and saw the challenge. When I finished the painting, I seriously doubted if this had been a good Idea?!
So thanks, for having a good vieuw on things!

Why donΒ΄t you call it "message in a bottle"? Or is "secrets" the found title?

Beautiful color arrangement! I know the level of difficulty you had to endure to create a work of art like this as I use Acrylics also the traditional style. (Never took the time to try oils). Thanks for sharing!

PhoenixFire787 [2009-04-08 18:34:29 +0000 UTC]

I think this is absolutely gorgeous but I am confused about the setting. Is she coming out of the water and is the water is behind her too?

The rendering is impeccable though. I am jealous.

Enchanting painting. The figure is absolutely beautiful and her expression is engaging.

The details within her seaweed skirt are particularly good and the colours within dreamy.

Hello Christiane,

This is such a wonderful work. I donΒ΄t want to spend more words on the technique as this simply isnΒ΄t nescessary.
Concerning your request for title propositions...
I thought of some possibilities today: "The secret of fragility" or "A tender moment of stability"

Oh I could look at it the whole day long. However I gotta go now and prepare a birthday party...

Hmm... The Voice of the Sea?
The first idea that came to mind. Shells are known for the murmur of waves hidden in them, and objects that are thrown ashore speak of events that happened somewhere in the water plains. Also, that lady looks as if she really wished to speak, but couldn't; from another point of view she can be a personification of sea, the personification some of us need to start communicating with "mere" water...

I don't know if I've ever said this before (probably have, since I feel this way everytime I see your paintings posted!) but you are my hero! You are such an inspiration to me. I can only dream about painting as you do some day. Another favorite of mine!
