Description I did not intend to update deviantart before the fav note thing had changed... but I received a letter this morning on how unfair I'm being... so I guess here I am, in spite of everything.

As for this picture - her hand is screwed up, I know... I just don't have the time to fix it right now.

There is a little bit of writing to go with it, as with most my pictures:

~
Surrender.

pale like the first snow.
cold as the tempting, tentative touch,
of the shivering frost.

dim like the early morning -
smooth, and sugary,
like the lingering taste of chocolate.

warm, as only a spring morning can be,
delicate like a child's fingers.

surrender.

surrender me.

cool like the blade of a dagger.
~

And a close up? [link]

well i don't know much about art, but i like this paintings its saying some how fact to me as i am feeling i am describing. i feel the lips of the girls and the boys wants to get together. but at the same time boys have temptation in his eyes they are properly well dress and performing their rolle and pretending their love. and some how i feel that they are in love with each other but some reason trying to get rid each other both have as girls close her eyes and waiting for may be one last kiss.....

but the picture have very deep expression and in real you can watch it for many hours and its let you think that why they are doing this and may be insist to think that did they killed each other as are realy chracter. why they are doing that because they both are in love as well.

don't mind i don't have very good english and may be what every i am tying is not worth what i mean to.
but infact i like this one more and i feel from all of your picture that you always see then inside of the body and your outer body always explain your inner as the mirror one the shoing some how inner evil. but your study of soul seems to be very strong. and you can present all the things very proffessional.

if you feel any thing bad or if its not goes with your picture then i am sorry but i said what every i feels

O_o Double betrayal... darker mood pieces always catch my attention ^^. The early morning mist feeling is really cool and their clothes are beautifly done. And the lacework at the top is a nice detail. Beautiful, just like everything else in your gallery.

the color tone to this is perfect, I love the autumn colors. The fogginess of the background works really well, and the flock of birds really helps break up the negative space.

The subject matter reallly hits home right now, I'm gonna have to add this to my favs

calignosity [2003-08-23 06:36:34 +0000 UTC]

This moment reminds me of the climax of Puccini's opera Tosca when to save the life of her beloved succumbs to the evil chief of police, Scarpia. She has already resolved herself to the decision of letting this deviant have his way with her. But when this moment arrives she is so repulsed at the drama unfolding that she cannot go through with her original agreement. Her only way out is the only way out. She draws the dagger from the desk nearby and conceals it until the opportune moment arrives. As in many Puccini operas the heroine has the last word, in this scene, an ultimately in the conclusion of the opera. She deals the final blow and accepts her role as murderer and martyr.
