"So many wrong decisions in my past,
I'm not quite sure if I could ever hope to trust my judgment anymore.
But lately I've been thinking, because it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.

And maybe you can tell your baby when you love him so
that he's been loved before
by someone who delivered your son
from God's arms to my arms to yours.

And if you choose to tell him and if he wants to know
how the one who gave him life could bear to let him go,
just tell him there was sleepless nights I prayed and paced the floor
and knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours."

--a young mother


any suggestions? i'd love to hear them...

I love it. The poem makes me cry and the picture really captures it. Great work!

as someone who has been on both sides of that poem, i found it very comforting, your picture glows with the love a mother feels knowing she made the right decison, its very soft and warm, yet the small important things like her tears, her eyes and the babies face are finer, more detailed. beautiful piece dixie :O) i also love how the image is like a page torn from her life, not to throw it away but to tuck it safely in her heart.

reminds me of the Venus painting by....uh, someone famous. Oh well, I'm not an art historian but consider it flattery to be compared to a master.

It's alright, but I think the lighting on the face could use some work (like I mentioned on another piece). More contrast, "lighter lights, darker darks."
Also the face seems somewhat deformed to me, almost cat-like. Maybe the jaw/mouth comes out too far. If you wanted to fix it, you could try moving the neck and back of the jaw forward rather than the whole face back.

No, Marcello, the shadow is behind him, on the inside ledge of the cliff that you cant see. Consistent with all the other shadows. (That is, if he is casting one yet. He just now jumped :) He would have to still be standing on the ledge for there to be a shadow there.
Look (Jan 29, 2004)
lol @ that jump onto the ground comment. If you move him furthur up, it might help to clear it up. I like the sensation in the drawing, probably because of the free and open pose of the chracter. Feels like flying.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 29, 2004)
Yeah, I do see what he means... I probably wasn't successful in portraying how it actually looked - We are (supposed to be) viewing it from a rock a little higher up on the cliff looking downward at him and he was right on the edge. But if i gotta explain it, it means it sucks! lol
dixielandcutie (Jan 29, 2004)
i see it. and i think its great!

Wish I could do work this good in that amount of time. (Takes me forEVER) This is great - I love the coolness of the colors and really like the depth and dimension that the stairway gives it. You are SO talented.

I felt that way once after drinking too much tequila. lol.. This is really a nice silhouette. Sort of reminds me of a wood carving.

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here--ever this day be at my side--to light and guard, to rule and guide." --thanks for a job well done. This little man needs some big help.

i know i cant do this picture justice, but i'm going to try anyway

Her tears flowed freely as the rain began to pour. The water seemed to desecrate his body, dampening the dark battle field and washing away the endless blood. He died a brave death, but she wished that he had stayed to protect her, and not gone to protect his king.

Toan- Yeah, I was fighting with the bg for a long time, and I just sort of gave up on it. I could give it a little more detail... maybe tomorrow, if I'm still home sick.
Thanks for commenting, guys! This is definitely my favorite of all the pics I've drawn.

lovely, i like the epic qualities of it, i think due to its deep field of vision. nice colors and the rain is a nice touch.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 23, 2004)
It's raining arrows!! I love it! This is wonderful, can't find a single thing wrong with it - don't you dare change it!
Knockoff (Jan 28, 2004)

I originally did a work similar to this with oil on canvas about 10 years ago. I believe it was while I was studying a book called "How to Paint Roses".

aww, what can I say, it's so beautiful! I like the soft color, and the way the flowers are, it's almost as if they have expressions
