'...nights sightless eye and radiant sun proceed upon their yearly course on equal terms and nwither of them is envious when it has to yield.'

Anyone know Greek mythology? Wellt this in particular has always inspired me and I'm finally getting to the point where I can get the picture in my head onto a piece of canvas!

My 2nd Oil painting ever!

Gosh, this is really beautiful!!! You have a very nice way of playing with colours, which can be seen in each of your pictures, but this one surpasses the other by far. Keep up the good work! Sigh, and you are only 20! *grin*

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Only 20! and so far yet to come! haha! But I'm glad you picked this one because I love the colours too and it was my second oil painting ever! I wanna do more, but I need time for oil... Glad you like my use of colour though, 't is hard to believe that it was only 2 years ago that I feared any other medium that pencil! And I don't think age matters much.. as long as you wanto keep learning and I just have a lot of opportunity right now!"

I am in awe- so I can't say much. you did a wonderful job with this peice- as well as all the others! I love the movement and style- and yes it does remind me of an indian dance! and NO i CANT take my eyes off it! I love your work- and I'm a young artist that hopes that i can live up to even half of this piece!

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Maybe a good start would be to get a gallery here? I'd come by, just lemme know! Anduhm, practice 12 but you've prolly heard that already so just get at it! I'm flattered you like my work so much!"

It's beautiful. The lines, movement and coloring are just great.

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "I was trying for movement.. s that's good.. it seems a bit to stiff stil though.. but the there are many things that I;d like to improve on this one!"

What a wonderful piece! If only I had catched it in the queue! This should have gotten a Mod's Choice! I love it! This is something I would hang over my bed ... 2

:-) Meike de Nooy replies: "Wow, what a compliment! IT would be great if one day people would hang my art above their bed 2"
