Description We can look with our eyes but we can See much more...

From birth a veil over your eyes
Among your Senses posses less
Yet you see Me beyond the shadows
As I am largely unknown to Others
Pleasure of being Seen is denied Me
Be you favored with Sight beyond the Veil
Loved One

A big thank you to all the stock providers

Thank you for the appreciation I did a second version almost identical that is a larger scale and shows more details of the characters, this was the first one and much was lost. Check out this one [link] and the closeups [link] I admit its one of my favorite pieces, I seldom re-work something but couldn't resist!

Thank you, I feel like I worked it "to death" but for some reason this piece attracted more comments and faves and felt it deserved to bring attention to the details. Normally I do a piece and leave it as is. Glad you liked both

That's how I felt about my piece Nevermore -- it is to date -- my favorite piece. I've thought about reworking it. But haven't gotten around to it yet. I definitely need to practice more photomanips lol .

Very nice. Might be one of your best. Not too many colors. Just dark enough too! The wings are great.

Thank you! I rarely do angelic figures and landed on these wings that looked very lite and feathery and not stiff like most I see I thought with the model's imposing and reflective figure it begged for them! The color palette is more monochrome on this one, but considering the storm depicted it fits. I'm happy with the result! I'm glad you like it!

Thank you Michelle. I found the wings rather different than what I normally see. They look light as air and strong at the same time! I used them the first time while making a Pegasus.

thank you Kim! Its rare that I'll do an angelic figure and when I saw the male model he had that quality about him that looked larger than life and of course the angle from which he was shot makes him look like a towering figure! It begged for a pair of black wings Trying to convey in visuals a blind person was a challenge and was an exercise that turned out fairly well even though she's seen from a distance and the rest of the pieces fell in line after...LOL. I'm really glad you like it!

Creedysgirl In reply to Kathryn-777 [2008-09-15 12:04:01 +0000 UTC]

It was awesome. And one is wondering, why is he there?? What is he going to ask her?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kathryn-777 In reply to Creedysgirl [2008-09-15 12:33:57 +0000 UTC]

Well I thought about that one. Starting from the knowledge that angels are essentially messengers its not so much what he would ask. Angels exist although to most people save in mystical apparitions they're invisible to our eyes. They exist on another plane of higher frequency and vibrations. Being blind is a handicap and would suppose a disadvantage. This angel appears to her simply for the pleasure of being seen because she can see him through her mind's eye and to favor her in a way because despite the apparent handicap she can see him whereas another person with eyes that function normally they can't see. He stands out in the storm while she is sheltered with the alcove above her as the elements rage. He represents a force just as strong as the storm outside but she is unafraid and protected. Despite his dark appearance its a symbol that even in darkness there is light.

WOW! You should have put that explanation in the comment under the picture. It's brilliant!!

Kathryn-777 In reply to Creedysgirl [2008-09-15 20:54:30 +0000 UTC]

You think I should? I like the idea...Maybe its a bad habit of mine but I seldom put in the comment section what the original intent is so as to leave the viewer to his own interpretation of it and let it speak to him / her. Maybe I feel that unless its asked if I explain too much it will project and the viewer will see it through my lens...dunno....LOL

Creedysgirl In reply to Kathryn-777 [2008-09-15 20:58:54 +0000 UTC]

I can see what you mean. Maybe it would be good just to put a few lines in there on what your intent was. Kind of poetically, you know?

Kathryn-777 In reply to Creedysgirl [2008-09-15 21:08:50 +0000 UTC]

Its a good idea, except by the time I finish a dev I'm so impatient to submit it that my mind is a blank as to how to formulate the general intent. Poetically speaking I have my moments but they're sporadic and the results of sudden bursts of inspiration that I can't produce on call for some reasons. Some of my friends are Poets in the true sense of the word and that is their medium of expression. The Visual Poetry I've produced, the graphic was added long after the poem was produced and I feel a lack of confidence. But then again these days I feel energies stirring in me and its chaos in my head in terms of finding the words to express what I'm going through. Its Raw and its frustrating at the same time. I'll think about it luv. I'd definitely like to be able to polish the comment a bit more....we'll see!

Short and sweet and the words just popped up in my mind. Of course explaining to you in a lengthy explanation before helped formulate it and I condensed it even more as if the Angel is passing on his Message After all that's what Angels are for Thank you luv
