I agree with Zargent but seeing what Meli can do when she wants to represent somthing, I just want to say that art is not when it looks like something but when it feels like something...

Ah, il naviglio scorre lento, Meli! Cosimmagino l'angelo delle mie notti seduta sul ponte che sappiamo, lo sguardo smarrito nei colori che le risplendono all'interno. Il tocco delicato dei piedi e delle caviglie, che quasi sfiorano senza esserci, tanto leggero da essere sexy fino al dolore.

Ha un eccellente aspetto grafico...!!! bella combinazione di colori caldi e freddi...!!! eccellente lavoro...!!

Beautifully done, Meli!!! Excellent color and watercolor effects!! There is alot of emotion in this piece!!

Simply beautiful artwork...an inspiration for all aspiring artists.

I agree with Masema, you are very good, and doing well with PS coloring...looks better each time :-)

Wonderful ork Meli! It's interesting how the vivid luminescent colors bring such a change from the original sketch. I think that the forehead being too long, as expressed in the earlier comment, is really not so. If one looks at the original sketch it is the same, but I feel as though the color just accentuates it which is appropriate for the theme. You really know how to make color come alive...Cheryl

You've done it again angel girl! HUGS This image is SO interesting because it seems to, for me anyhow, delve into negative space within the busiest part of the image, Bev's, wonderfully suggested, blue. Its placement in the centre of the image, balenced by the figure, seems to magnetise the eye to the very center, where the busy negative space draws one deeply into another dimension. You know Art like no other I know angel girl, keep up the spectacular work, and as always, thanks for sharing :D HUGS

That is wornderful, I love that image!

the colors worked out so well, gee. i am humbled again as i browse rend'ity these days, everything is so gorgeous. prime example right here.

Very nice photoshop work here! And I too see the figures in the blue area, just like Synapse said.

Oh, this is a delight to me! And, when I look, she doesn't feel torn, she feels to be in a melancholic reverie of some golden day in the past....when life was simpler and more peaceful for her.

I like the eyes best... they really draw me in.

Thank you for showing the original sketch too :-) You know that I am a fan of your sketches :-)

Very interesting idea and execution. You integrated the drawing with the Photoshop effect very well. The final art took on a life of its own quite different from the pencil, which I like as well. Great post for the June theme.

For once quite late but with a good excuse as I have been somewhere watching something very great as you know ;) I really like looking at this piece. Is it the glowing at the bottom? Is it the haunting look in her face? Is it the fragility of her pose? Or is it just the overall mood? It's all I guess :) Wonderful! -- 'Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse, that sends me down to the river, though I know the river is dry?' --

I like Your work very much. Green and yelow colours have great balance in Your picture here. and down red is great end of it. Very nice work girl.

You never cease to amaze me. You just keep getting better. Incredible!

As usual your images are very nice... I wish I had time to comment on them all... I love the colors

her look are very sweet, this image looks like a live paint.

Exellent image, i love the abstract and the "paint" effect.

Arancio dorato (naturalmente).Ma vorrei sottolineare l'importanza del tuo desiderio di sperimentare.Se tu lo volessi, potresti davvero fare qualunque cosa. Peccato che tu sia pigra e cocciuta ;=)e non ti consideri un'artista.Io credo che il mondo ci perda, visto che, semplicemente cazzeggiando, fai lavori che altri si sognano.

So skilled you are, and so modest.This is a little dream.Laure again is so very spot on.
