SciFi and Fantasy Art: Ring of Fire

I love your artwork so much. You are really one of my favorite artists on elfwood. This is really beautiful. I love how you glued paper on top of the painting. It looks like she is confined in a dark, velvety space. I really like the feel of this painting. I feel like I understand this piece of yours when I look at it.

This is a unique picture Jennifer. The overall impression is giving me somehow a sad feeling. When I look at the face though I see a strong determination. I'm just wondering what has she written down with her blood?

She is drop dead beautiful! I really dig the inspiring idea behind this piece!

Resonance, many of us, and yet, my escape still finds the nalanuthu. the bloodier side does occasionaly invade.

we would all be better gods if no one ever robbed our clearity. well nothing can ever be counted upon to go unused.

she is fassioning her own resurection even from her loss. this is probably one of the keys. ... ~

sorry for being so late in commenting, been REALY busy and frustrated...... well i would give you the normal line that would be givin by most who would see this and felt the need to say something. being "well... it's interesting!" but what good would such a comment do? honestly, i find both darkness and blood quite a bit appealing and very much so in this piece, even though i doubt that was your intent. its hard for me to pin down what i would think this represents, perhaps thats because it represents emotions and sensations that are very nearly impossible to convey in words, or perhaps my abilities as a speaker and a writer are wholy inadequate to accurately express the emotions and sensations this piece envokes. i get the impression, not only because this was attempt to capture/vent some things, that into this piece you poured much of yourself. the person behind those eyes is unmistakable. sometimes i think that we are tortured and tortured and forced to capture those emotions in art, otherwise we cannot move on and could even go insane. as artists we are lucky to have such an outlet. i often wonder how non-artists manage to stay sane, or are we(artists) crazy anyway? i wonder...

This reminds me very much of Otep's lyrics...if you haven't heard them yet you should check them out! I'm glad you're free of whatever it was that imprisoned you...I know the feeling all too well. You are very good with acrylics...the texture gives it a very impassioned look. Well done!
