SF&F Picture 46 out of 56 by Jennifer Alice Peters.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Nightlife

Some day truth will ring. I have through all my desperate hope this one thing – to burn within me - To ease my suffering, the ceaseless nights - agony. What but this fallow deer can look so innocently? I know I cannot. That gift is lost to me – how they cannot look upon me – wretchedly. It’s not my privilege. And I say, truth will ring - truth will sing! It will soar like clouds over mountains - birds over trees… And I will smile. Bitterly. Because for all my pain and all their pain it will not be enough! And still fate would grab me by my shirt cuff and pull me along anyway. I do not resist… what good is hand or fist? – Against fate. For me it is a little late… I lay silently in the grass, it is forgiving though my tongue be of ash. Fires have all burned away… Little deer won’t you stay? I have no one left - Who will play? With me… I can’t even see. You’ve taken my vision. I’m blind, deaf. Cannot envision. But were my life of chance decision, it’s ephemeral to the stars. Who can rail against such bars? Yet you would seem so certain... For you there is no curtain covering those eyes. And for folly or mistake I want desperately to have vision again. For all your insight what would lay in your wake seems painless. What you see in a world so lucid – leaves me – hopeless. When will I see again? For all of my life – Where have you been?

15 Aug 2003	Allyson L. Cowan	Loading... Wow...very moving. There's so much expressed in just the picture, and the description only heightens this. You have a very unique and beautiful style. This is one of the best-deserving Mod's Choice pictures that I have seen. Congratulations! Jennifer Alice Peters replies: "thanks, the most I can ever hope for as an artist is to move someone with my work. I think sadness is one of my biggest motivators, but the rewards are having that expression shared and recognised."

23 Aug 2003	Mette 'Topios' Meisner Roenkel	Loading... Why should I say something about this picture? The poem says all there is to say... Excuse me while I hides in a corner to reflect over life and all its sadness.
23 Dec 2003	Meike de Nooy	Loading... I can only say that I know through experience that the best poems are written and the best pictures are drawn when you got some emotion that needs to be expressed. Now they both ahppen at the same time! It's wonderfull! I love the art! And the poem too! And somewhere uo there you said "amature art" but I don't think this particualr piece is, there is always room for growth, but this is one of the best! Jennifer Alice Peters replies: "Well I thank you for saying so. I'm certainly still an amatuer in many ways, both in art and writing. But I do it for me, so it's of no matter. It only serves to give me greater joy to know that there are those who would think my work is worthy of praise."

17 Aug 2004	Kimberly Piggott	Loading... Amazing detail great job!
12 Sep 2005	Markus 'ego' Heinen	Loading... This is a great one. I like the thwo trees in the foreground it gives it more dimension and deepth. The colours are wonderful and very nightly and I really adore the moon in the background. The other thing is that I think this pic has so much emotion in it without being overcrowded by symbols it is just great.
