Description 2011 Updated

The Water Spirit did forget that Winter had set a sparkling trap
Within the diamond bottle, the potion had the power to set the lake to ice with one spilled drop
The curious sprite was tricked and lays now waiting within a frosted tomb
A season spent beneath the ice

my poor attempt at writing! Oh well...

this piece was absolutely intriguing in thumb so here I am critiquing..
this piece is like a scene from x-files!! creepy and yet its mesmerism is unavoidable. I would love to see it without darkness around the edges...a little more desaturated and frostier, yet his face still with original color...adding an unreachable tree limb..(but only as a secondary piece). This one is fine. I love his hand positioning and dead stare..technique is good and you have chosen textures well. every object in this piece is placed nicely so the eye travels circularly..sweet. I feel like my flashlight has just found him in a search for a body, hehe..scary really.
the story that goes with this inspires more to tell, and leaves me wanting to know moree.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> great work! Tera

awwww...you are so welcome Lauren dear.
I certainly would never rise to think I know it all...but sometimes others can really inspire to do different things and see things in a different light...I wish someone would do that for me sometimes, lol. at least someone who has talent!! I get these kids about 14 yrs old who think they can just tell me what would make my work better..hahaha...gee whiz, I have been doing artwork for over 45 yrs and think at 40 hrs a week plus, I have a good idea about things as you do to. If they want to say a criticism....then critique my work..not in comments. blah blah...haha anyway..love your style of art and so glad to finally see your work! truly honored Tera

I agree with *spoofdecator . This is an excellently-orchestrated piece... however, I would like to see it minus so much border blackness. All in all... really fascinating and well-done.

Your art is so brilliant that I don't know what to say really. But How about this great song on youtube to go with this piece?

I think it goes well.

Thankyou very much! Writing is something I try out every now & then but I dont have the same 'need' to write like I do with drawing & painting (if that makes sense)
so I'm so happy you liked this little bit of verse, makes me feel so much better

Happy Valentines Day!
