23 Feb 2003	John R. Toohey	Loading... Wow! what beautiful colors, i love your technique, especially with the flowers. It seems like you did a wash and when it was still wet you added bloches of color to create the blossoms...true? I love your Knot-work as well, so intricate and complex! its very hard to keep knots consistant,straight and balanced...you've done an expert job, congrats! oh yeah, i do lord o' the rings art too..check it out!

28 Mar 2004	Morwen Celebrian Nolatari	Loading... Color... Overwhelming... Too much... Tone it down a bit.
13 Nov 2004	Dithat	Loading... Something about her face - possibly the folds at her mouth - doesn't quite scream "ever-young" to me, but other than that, I like it.
16 Dec 2004	Hanna Aakkonen	Loading... Wow, your watercoloring is awesome O_O
11 May 2005	Merituuli	Loading... Are those gardens on the backround the lesser famous Vána's gardens? Muuten, hyvää työtä.Näen melkein samalla tavalla Morgothin vankeuden ajan ja Valinorin onnen ajan.
9 Jul 2008	Krista	Loading... I love the colors you’ve used in your picture of Vana. They’re bright and youthful, which is perfect for Vana, the Ever-Young. I salute you.
