Description

*The weight of soft thoughts that kill, they kill when you cannot find escapes practicable to run out and win... Oh! All the weight that thought brings, when mirror is never mirroring the one you would like to see... But don't give up and never break, when the weight of soft thoughts you've tried to forget comes and makes your forces fade out, and so the breath... There's nothing to fear as long as you can name your tears, there are no fears as long as you can wipe your tears after their purifying path on your cheeks bow... Nothing to fear that a love, a friend can't solve nothing to fear, that I wouldn't help you for when at nights the shadows take shapes of wolves... So when the weight of those soft thoughts can kill, just feel you lighter than them, and lift... Take the light inside, and let yourself perceive you above the sky, feel you being that air that everyone has to breathe to stay safe. In you I see roses blossoming everytime, and the most precious garden you can be, and like a sister I treasure you in. And so feel like the air, as the light that all embraces... Feel you as the sweet creature you are whom my mirror always shows so bright when I focuse you in, and I wait for your smile.* ------------------------ pencil 2b, no postwork. ---------------------- This is Chris, cneofotistos, the first of my four favourite artists in Renderosity portraits. I can't say anything on Chris's art that could sound not even by far homagin enough the talent the pieces portray: you gotta see and make your own judgement... and I am sure, you on't find words big enough for what the gallery shows.I remember when the first time I received a contact from this anjelic creature.. I wasn't believing what I was reading in teh words that were so graciously sent to me then. I still everytime wonder how Chris can think so nicely of me...but after a while, I just thank above cos it's happening, and I don't ask me no reasons for anymore. It's just a gift.:) Chris can paint like rarely I have seen, without having got models, without having proper studies behind. But it's never just a paint the thing you get while opening the thumbnail. It's something more.well, it's WAY more, in fact. An intense shakin of your perceptions and feelings AND belief. A pushing kick that goes deep scratchin your hearts. A pure perfect technique, that is the less noticeable of things stillin what you see, because the message is what will take your souls over, and forever stay inside you. The joint of the technique and the message.. well it's just a miracle in my eyes.It should be in yours too. You can agree or disagree with the inspirations of Chris: but you can't avoid to agree, what cneofotistos adds here is something that only a real, impressive, extraordinarily TRUE artist could add.This place couldn't be the same without Chris. Love you always, like a sister. Thank you for having allowed me this. It means a lot.

I deleted my last comment cause I was not sure if you would get where I was coming from. I had said that this was the best drawing I have seen from you ...maybe ever. I had alluded to the fact that your potential is vast. Bravo.

Very expressionist! I see the sweet cherub grown up in mother's image. Your technique loses all it's pretense in this. Out you come tumbling like a child from a tree house.

Wow....you are a triple artist, an artist with your hands and an artist with your lips but mostly an artist with your heart and soul. Love you Meli :)

This is the most beautiful portrait I have seen from you (yes, the cropping makes it so intense), and your words are just as beautiful. I have enjoyed the gallery of cneofotistos many times, so I fully understand your admiration and love for this exceptional artist. Your generous and loving heart shines through in this creation!!!

Beautiful words for a very beautiful portrait. Your work continues to express your amazing skills as an artist and more than that...it gives life and love to the wonderful people on this board that have given freely to you. If beauty had wings to fly they would carry the name of Meli on their lips and heart. This is a wonderful homage to your dear friend. Wonderful...just wonderful!...Cheryl

Hi everyone. Did you know that Melania actually sent me the original, ready sketch? I just received it yesterday, along with a heartfelt letter and a beautifully adorned (by Meli herself) lovely shirt. I've been so stumped for a reply since then. I'm preparing something very special for her, but anything I do can't compete to her sweetness. I can't say a lot, for fear of taking the meaning out of my words.. But still, you kind people out there have only Melania to thank for the sweetness of this portrait, I've really done nothing. Melania, you are such an incredible (and needless to say beautiful) girl. Thank you from the depths of my heart, and I resent you for making me so speechless that I can't pay back the honor. Sweet kisses everywhere! (oh, by the way, now Maria and me are conspiring to make you a gift equal to the one you gave us. hehe, we might even succeed)
