I guess folks thought the "No Comment" part referred to them. hee-hee... I like the brightness to this work, and the way the background forms above you, in interlocking patterns of light and color.

This is really beautiful... I love her dress, well, your dress, as well as all the other ones you have in your art. It kind of reminds me of a costume I had when my friend and I acted out a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Rental costumes are tres cher, I wish I could sew! I'm curious, what did you intend the background to be? At first, I thought you might be standing in the woods with a lot of bending tree trunks. Then I looked back a little later and I saw blades of grass with a really small you. Oh gee, I've lost all track of time in your gallery, I'm supposed to be writing my essay on "Julius Caesar." Gorgeous job on everything! *^o^*

I like this picture. Is it a representation of your character? You seem drawn back in your picture. Hiding, almost, in the safety of the cradling trees, whilst ther red boarder takes prominence. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is a very revealing picture. *smiling* If you think so...

How about this one is this one of your own dresses? You look like you enjoy feeling safe and protected....a little tiny you...wrapped and bundled pretty and in the tall grass......the strong border on the side balancing your hair and the picture.....and keeping you proected. I believe the other comment above is correct in that you reveal a bit of yourself here....intentionally or not. Very moving and lovely portrait Antje. Hello, and thank you again, you´re writing the neatest comments. Yes, this is one of my costumes, but in reality it is not as yellow as in the picture...

Cute. If these are realy Grass Blades that surround you, can we say now that you´re about three inches tall..?? ;o)) No, sorry... just kidding. This is lovely. Those beautyfull colors and the softness of the smile... *sigh* 19)Do you know how difficult it is to handle a pencil if you´re only three inches tall??? 12

I admire the way you handle watercolor. You make it look as if they were doing what you want them to do. And than there is an air of elegance and easiness to your drawing I try to achieve, but have not mastered (yet - I hope 2),
I really love your pictures!

My favorite of you work thus far. Smiling with a secret you've painted for, none can force the secret from a picture. Love it.
