Wow! it's brilliant and very special... Love it! Excellent done.
Wow.....fantastic piece of art...excellent painting..!!!!
From the clue you left in the forum, I see this as being about her putting up with her lot (a less-than-perfect relationship) and being miserable in the process. She's content to "let the grass grow under her feet", in this case from her hair as she stays put, fed up. She's making a lifetime of procrastinating about whether to leave him and move on, or not, hence the title! Beautiful work on her creased face, her hands, her hair and the scene in general. As usual, thought-provoking and engaging hugs :-)
I absolutely love this! Do you ever look in the mirror, rub your face and ask yourself...WHAT are you...DOING?? ~lost
Following that previous painting with the cactus man, this really tells a long story. It is a marvellous painting Titta, done with skill, insight and humor. Her face is so expressive, and the flowers and spiderweb tells the rest. WOW!!!
WOWWSY WOWWW !!!! my dear . YOU LIFE ART with every picture i see and its a great gift for Renderosity and us to see your ARTWORK !!!. I love the Symbolic on this great work . Thanks my dear hugest hugs
An excellent painting, Titta!! Wonderful how you tell a story with your painting, I think there are a lot of women who know this feeling, like your woman on the painting!! It is amazing and wonderful done!! Excellent and V
What an excellent painting! The distortion of the woman's face only becomes more pronounced as time passes by. I presume that eventually she will stop wallowing in self-pity and begin a new and better chapter in her life. The past is for learning and the future is for applying those lessons. Excellent art. V
This is stunning Titta beautifully painted, your skills grow so much with every image you make! This is so expressive & really does tell so much of a story & like a moment captured from any story it opens up many possible interpretations. I love the way you painted her face, such sad resignation yet I see those flowers as a symbol of hope growing from her weariness of living a life of dusty memories. I can also see the flowers as a symbol of the bride that never was, gathering dust but living on in her mind! Excellent work & a wonderful addition to the theme ; )
you've gotten so incredibly goooooooood!! all this in your mind waiting for your skills to catch up... you're there & beyond!! incredible portrait... luv the scrunching face & daisy hair!! color & webs :] you're a pro artist my dear!! print & sell!
You're right, just think of all the football she's missed on the telly while sitting there brooding; beautifully expressed despondency, the spider and web is a great touch.
Speechless!
love the details in this, nice work.
I love this one so much Titta, I really don't know where to begin! The abstraction of her face is so expressive and your work had come so very far, Cindy is right, you really should be selling prints :) huge hugs Thank you so much for creating and sharing :)
You are real storyteller true Artist too; and what way youve done it!! So harmonic way! Colours are so beautiful! The lady behind those brown eyes pondering many new thoughts about something - - - probably next Masterpiece of Art . Thanks for your huge stories. And totally I agree with Gun and Bev.
