I'm not exaggerating but this is one of the best art I'd ever seen in DA. You rendered it digitally like an oil painting (as it looks to me)!

I love how traditional your art work is. It looks like it could hand in a museum with paintings like the Mona Lisa. It has that cherubic essence to it, with the lighting and brush strokes. Overall, very beautiful!

Reminds me of William Bouguereau's technique and composition, Very Beautiful!

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u
will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your
room tonight. in 53

Beautiful and emotional work. You did a wonderful job of capturing the mixed feelings of independence (whether it means freedom or loneliness, sometimes it's hard to tell), grief, and hope. My parents divorced when I was in my first year of college, and even then I still had to grapple with a strange melange of emotion. It must certainly be more difficult for one who was directly involved in a divorce, and I think your piece conveys it well. I wish you the best in your time of healing.
