Nice piece and lovely words…

Basia McAuley, 7 months ago

This is soooo beatutiful! The words, the composition, the aged treatment, everything! WOW! Well done!

Birgitta, 7 months ago

Thanks so much Michelle. :)
And Basia, I’d be lying if I said you weren’t my main reason for doing
this! I thought about your piece: “Generations” and while I had no idea
how you got those amazing textures..I tried my own recipe…heh. Just kinda
threw this and that together. :-/ Thanks for checking it out and (as always)
inspiring me so much. :)

Alexia Wardell, 7 months ago

I love it, great color and the texture is to die for. Wonderful piece as always.

Basia McAuley, 7 months ago

Nice words… sort of makes death not sound so bad. After all, life and death is an endless circle. This is layer blending put to its most beautiful use. Lovely, soulful image.

Lumineux, 6 months ago

I wonder at how something so light and wistful could be given so much more meaning and substance. Only you could do it! The image and words speak to me about the transience of life, and the little time we really have to live it.

Dave Warren, 6 months ago

Birgitta, 6 months ago

Thanks so much everyone. :) Your feedback, time and comments mean
very much to me..

Birgitta in reply to mcquaid’s comment, 6 months ago

Well Mcquaid, I haven’t a clue!
My daughter (who’s a self taught Japanese student)
laughs because I have a few Asiatic brushes in CS3-
and I’ll just slap whatever on there if I like the shape of it.
For all I know it could say: “I need to do my laundry..” :-/
Or, nothing at all. (which is more likely) But again, it was the
shapes and curves I was going by. ;)

Love the image, title and words! Fantastic:)

prbimages, 6 months ago

Birgitta, mcquaid, Krisso, the Japanese katakana characters down the side read “bo-pu-pi”, which means nothing in particular, just random sounds.

Nevertheless, a great image, well done!

Birgitta, 6 months ago

Hey RB staff, thanks for the Feature. :)
And thanks for guys for your comments and you too PRB for interpreting that!

What a very beautiful emotive piece of Art, Birgitta !! A work of great contrasts melded together well, the delicate softness and the aged, cracked appearance running right through everything. The artwork matches well with the verse !! A Masterpiece !!!

Paul Tupman, about 1 month ago

Wow, this is a really strong image Birgitta… again this is one for the favourites! I love the style of this, very reminiscent of Japanese laquer work. Your use of textures just gets better and better at the moment.
The words accompanying this are very nice and lucky you to be brought a 2 headed dandelion!

coffeetea, 13 days ago

excellent job ! birgi:)

Arletta, 13 days ago

Very interesting… in several ways I can’t imagine why a dandelion would want to be two headed, but, I can imagine, once it decided there was a reason for it, it mutating that way. Dandelions are the smartest plants I know of. They learn to grow too short for lawn mower blades, after a few times of being mowed over; and, the same plant will grow tall again when the lawn mower hasn’t been around for a good long while. Very cool plants; as well as good for you.

Birgitta in reply to Arletta’s comment, 13 days ago

I didn’t know that! Wow. I like the way you think.
You point out strange & interesting facts. :)

shanemcgowan, 10 days ago
