It's so hard to find an appropriate title for this one! And it's almost done! I'm so proud! My first oil painting ever! It's sooo much fun! I suggest everybody try, all you need is patience cause it takes forever to dry! And last but not least loads of thanks to Wilma (one of my waterpolo teammates who gave me the piece of canvas) Pfew! Enjoy!

WOW... a happy looking HR Giger-ish picture. I would definitely hang a piece like this in my home. Schwae!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I think that is about the biggest compliment I can get. Thankyou!"

Hey, this is beautiful! I hope she can escape somehow from that "Life?".. Wonderful colours!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Funny, I've always thought of it as a "he" but no.. I don't think it's possible to escape life..."

You see a lot of androids around here, but your technique is unique and captivating.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "To tell you hounestly.. this one is really bothering me! It is still not finished, and I really don't feel like finishing it but I really need to! Glad you like it though! It has been in my mind for a long time before I could finally realease it on paper!"

hmm, okay, you didn't add it just recently..
I was not really paying attention to the dates on the other comments while posting above message 10

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "It used to be in my Zone47 gallery!"

Wow! I haven't seen this one before, I suppose you added it just recently?

It looks very good! Great colors. The drawing looks very 'powerfull', probably because of the colors.

*impressed*

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "YAY!!! I'm glad you find it a strong image. I tried, and it had been in my head for a while, and sometimes that's where the image has to stay. But this one actually came out! Almost as I wanted it... (I'm glad to have my zone and loth gallery in one; the difference was hardly noticeable!)"

This is really my favorite picture! Love how you combined the two total opposite things...The android and the flowers....Well done!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I never knew you liked it so mutch... maybe I should finish it off for you then, at least I have a good reason then..."

1 but its cool though

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Worms??? Oh well, whatever you prefer 12 I'm glad not everyone thinks so though, and that you do like the rest. 2"

I so like the style in this piece! It's a bit different from what I mostly see. The flowers are very well made too 2

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Thanks! I found the flowers rather hard to do!"

OOOoohhhh....The person is a roboty guy, and the flowers are all pretty! Its machine meets mother earth! yaay! This is reeeeally good for your first oil drawing, painting...whatever it is. I have like.....0 patience, usually ^_--

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Patience is a glorious veirtue 12 which I am also still trying to tech myself... it;s hard when it comes to drawing, aspecially cause you usually want to start with the fun part but starting out with things like backgrounds and such usually make it better in the end!"
