I love your centered focal points and symetrical compositions...I know they are not supossed to be used but they make me feel calm.

yes
i love to understand

he understands the wave
he understands hair

he understands fur
even fake

he understands a daytime moon
he understands the ocean
the sky the difference between
the blues

the water pulls me in

he understands her
skin and all
and how she
understands her bear

all you have to do
is look
and you can understand too

Amazingly beautiful and sentimental piece, Danny...

Not sure why I feel suddenly sad viewing this image... (NO NOT YOUR FAULT)

Would you understand what I mean if I say "painfully beautiful and heart-warming"? ...

I don't know why I haven't commented on this yet.

Red, blood = virginity? The bear = innocence? Sea = sexuality? Fuck, I don't know. Good painting though.

I'm always expecting something slightly creepy from you, and this time I don't find it in the usual way, so I'll just say teddy bears are creepy to fulfil the need.

Of course, this does seem very sentimental. I see a woman in red--red I'm guessing would have something to do with her being sexually mature, or the icon of little red riding hood. So, I could see it as she's lamenting her lost childhood, and nostalgic about the ocean, and sail boats. Or, because it's a new bear, she could be expecting.

wicked-eve [2004-03-21 10:02:53 +0000 UTC]

i must agree with other's.
the hair is amazing, and something i am quickly realizing is a forte to you.
i adore the colors.
the boldness of the red in contrast with the more subtle tranquil blue of the sea behind her.

the bear is meticulously painted.
in proportion it is perfect..in color and detail, incredibly well done.

beautiful painting as always!!

this feels kinda comfortable to me, because i wear hooded things all the time and i actually have a white teddy like that. you do fabric so amazingly well! its interesting that your paintings could mean alot of things. ive been looking at this for a few minutes and have thought of a few, and you mightn't have intended it to mean anything. also i like that you put up large scans/photos of your art, so people can see all the details.

xomatose [2004-03-18 20:44:51 +0000 UTC]

theres always something about your paintings which make me shiver. i think it has something to do with the centrality of the portrait and the precise symmetrical balance of the background in this one that really freaks me out..
and i like it.
a lot.

I love how I could just feel everything... The texture of the teddy bear... The velvety softness of the woman's cloak... The relaxing atmosphere... I know I've said this often but it astounds me as to how you could create such a masterpiece that actually tickles the viewer's senses... You're just incredible...

Wonderful work, as always, and as usual... a for you

*starred at it for.. a good few minutes* so.. serence looking. even with the sea so wild and the boats looking like their aout to drown under the wave.. her face, and a teddy bear.. is cirrus sea a real sea somewhere?
If the bear and hair and face hadn't been so good, I'd say my favorite part would be the moon. but they are there.

and my 200th as well

While the first time it was quite deliberate, this time it just worked out that way. Guess you have too much good stuff.

X 1,000,00 A stunning painting. It's just as enigmatic as all of your other work, even without all the mysterious little symbolic elements. I can't stop looking at it. I have so many questions about her..where she's from, why she's here, what she's thinking. I have a feeling you could write a entire book about her (and her bear), and in many ways, you already have..by pulling her out of your imagination and letting us imagine our own storylines. Still..I want to know what's in your mind..write the book..there's a fantastic story here, I just know it.
