This scene gives me a mixed impression of both torment and peace. Almost like dark dreams or vision perhaps are disturbing what should be a serene slumber. Well again I say very good work, keep it up :)

Thank you. I think perhaps it's peace amidst the torment of life though. Roots succor me, give me strength to ride the rough waves of life..

Ah very nicely put, I like your idea there; very nice and exquisitely worded. It really does give that impression, it's always good to see art work with such meaning :)

Good to hear. Art isn't much fun if it means nothing, is it? And I like words. They are almost as fun to play with as clay, or paint. :)

Ah it's nice to see someone else who appreciates the art of word play. I used to work in a lot of mediums but I think that's the one I fell in love with really. Keep up the good work

I write a little here and there, but I'm pretty hands-on with my creative spark, so sculpting, painting and body painting are my main mediums.

Will do-I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. :)

Well it's certainly well placed from what I've seen in your gallery; you work very well with all of them. You should put up some written stuff some time, you do seem to have that natural way with words and that creative spark is undeniable of course :)

I've thought about it. P'raps I will. Mostly I blog and journal. :)
