Description
*I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:
The first is deep love,
The second is frugality,
And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.
Because of deep love, one is courageous.
Because of frugality, one is generous.
Because of not daring to be ahead of the world,
one becomes the leader of the world.*
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
----------
Dedicated to Lisa, the Lady Of Gorgeous Eyes that sees life for how really deep it is.
A creature of a wide beauty (she looks just like Tori Amos sometimes!!!), and of a wide, impressive strenght.
I love you dear for you suggest others how to smile, and never complain about times when you don't feel like to.
Love you for the inspiration, for the afefction, and for your unique human touch.
Your beauty exceeds and by far this portrait I made of you: but it's impossible anyway to portray as it's requested a fairy.
Kisses :)
Meli

very impressing words meli , an excellent portrait, an awesome friend you have , and above all , you are a truthfull friend.
I praise your words dear shemosus. I have always thought as well, that real friends must firstly be truthful. But believe, not many reveals themselves strong enough to bare it ;) Hugs!!! And I am happy to have made Lisa happy with this. She's simply, a wonderful creature that everyone would love. Everyone does, knowing her. :)
As usual, a wonderful combination of image and words. It is no wonder you have wonderful friends because you are such a loving, generous beeing yourself.
Meli, you make all your friends look so beautiful and you present them with your words in such a wonderful way! This is just so lovely and charming, indeed :)))
Man oh man you are GOOD. Meli, you rock... pure and simple!
Such a delight, as always, to view your artwork. Your artistry and friendship never fails to shine through! Truly lovely image! :)
Another beautiful portrait, and a very beautiful lady! All Meli's friends are beautiful? Well, being honest: is there anyone that has an ugly friend? All jokes a part, every friend we have, the real ones, the ones we love and care about, have some sort of beauty... No wonder then that a loving and caring person, like Meli, putting her soul in whatever she does, can produce all these beautiful portraits... She catches the beauty of the friendship...
Lovely work. Great job!
beautiful!
This is so beautiful: very well done, Meli, and irix is a wonderful subject, I see! I can't wait for my turn! :-)
This is a beautifully done image, lisas inner and outer beauty shows thru. Phenominal job.
pretty work :)
Great pencil portrait again..as always :) The hair and eyes are wonderfully done!
Well,I think i will repeat myself: THIS IS AGAIN TERRIFIC WORK!!Wonderful work on lips and hair..
Ah Meli, this is such a great likeness, and I know what a tiny thumbnail pic you took this from so it's even more impressive. Yes she does look like Tori Amos at times, particularly with her current hair, I thought so the first time I saw her photo. I look forward to seeing what you do with Gabrielle because she looks so amazingly like her mum. Definitely amazing genes in that family! :-)
very gorgeous work! i love her eyes and hair! Brava!!
So very beautiful and such a loving tribute too! I'm sure irix feels so honored. Your classic sketchwork is a tribute to you my friend!
Ah....I love this! Such life contained! (and is that mischief I see, too?)
Another beautiful picture
nice work meli looks great
Gorgeous work, Meli!! Her eyes are so beautiful!!
So beautiful! excellent expression and wonderful portrait of a wonderful soul!
always a pleasure to see you phantastic drawingz meli !
Dearest Meli, were your Mother the Moon and your Father the Stars and the Universe your playground growing up, you could not have been more talented than you are now. You exceed all things~
Pretty neat and those eyes look really dope indeed. I'm not sure about the lips those... the lower lips are very big in comparrison to the upper lips, then again I've so many many faces that way... just wondering, that's all :p
Really really excellent. There is a tenderness in the eyes and soft shading of the skin that jumps out at you. I love what you've done with the hair; it has volume. Please keeping giving us more beautiful work - its an inspiration. Ciao :))
There seems to be a very courageous offer of trust in the expression. The lack of need almost shrugs off the confidence shown. The recognizable gallimel technique gives it a good sendoff.
