| 1 Jan 2005 |  Michelle L. Hunt | Hmm...I sense a slight Boromir-ness to the statue...anyway, great colors, I really like this piece. The wings are great, as is the background. What's Pygmalion though? i've heard it before, but have no clue what it means...i gues that's what you get for being young and sheltered...hehe..anyway, again, i do think this is a great piece.   Kathleen Hardy replies: "Amazing! Boromir _was_ the inspiration for this statue! (I'm impressed that you see it.) Obviously, it isn't that charecter, but I saw this idea in a brief flash in my head, and the knight looked like Boromir to me. (Maybe from watching LotR a few days before?) So I did base it on Sean Bean a bit. "Pygmalion" was the name of an ancient Greek sculptor who fell in love with one of his creations, and Aphrodite made her come to life. It is also the basis for the story of the same name by George Bernard Shaw, which was made into the Broadway musical, "My Fair Lady". There, all the information you never wanted to know! Thanks for your comments!" | |

| 5 Jan 2005 |  Anonymous | The stone figure awakens and sees his beloved . His heart responds , eyes glad with hopeless adoration . He feels .. for the first time in ages ... warmth , love , honesty . His sins are forgiven by the embrace of un-conditional love. Oh ! thank you . I am released . I am free. I can love.  Kathleen Hardy replies: "I love it when my work inspires the viewer to take off in thier own direction. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story you create." | |
