i don't know exactly what to say about it but i feel like i have to say something about it... it fills me up to the brim with emotion - like all your pieces do. Its just... amazing. I want to run over there and hug the poor guy.

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "Thank you, I'm sooo happy this has that affect, I was worried about the color (hah yeah me worried about color)...though I don't know if a hug will help. Hmmm can you play nurse? "

Great colours - I like the slightly muted feeling, broken by the red. Calm, sad... but not "weak", if you take my meaning.

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "I think I caught the meaning. Thank you. It's sort of how I see a warrior dying, nothing weak, no turning back or pity. "

i really like the way you tell a story without cramming everything into it
(it's almost like a film director looking for the best scene of the movie)?
as always, quality pics Marietta
:0) xx

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "**waves** Hmm I never thought of it that way, Thank you. Happy to see you could stop in!"

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "**Points to father and son pic** that ones happier(worries that that might be my only happy pic in here). I don't mean to breakhearts...you better get better! **gives a cookie, they fix everything** Thank you much, I'm actually glad it has that affect."

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "Thank you. I know it's a waste...but it happens so often."

This looks great. The muted colors are excellent for the subject matter, and they composition is unusual and powerful. Another terrific artwork!

:-) Marietta Buck replies: "Thank you so much. Like I mentioned, I was worried about the color (my personal black and white bias), but blood just doesn't come across as well without color. I'm glad that this piece has actually gotten as many remarks as it has."
