Description I changed it.

So, like I said before. My parents hate it, so you are allowed to hate it. Etc, etc.

Story: For a teacher that touched my heart.

Sapphers, this is darling. It portrays such an innocence. It's simple, it's heartfelt, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. You're going to get criticism where ever you go. Don't let it get you down and keep doing what you love. If it makes just one person happy it's worth, i think.

FINALLY I have the timeto comment on this.

the line across the road, where the road into the BG becomes lgihter, it feels like she's standing in front of painted scenery. I like how surreal looking it is, and the simplicity of the flowers. her eyes are stunning and the outfit is a ncie choice of color. Very nice work, I beleive.

Amazing work


I'd like to see your parents do better than this. And if they can't, then they need to get the $%!@ off of your case!

Parents like to bitch when they see paintings that aren't 100% realistic or don't use amazing proportions, unless they're artists themselves. Heaven forbid you use a unique style. I really like this though, I think this would make an amazing card cover for a Hallmark Card, well any card really, as a thank you card or even as a nice house painting, I really like this. (It's really strange for me to comment on art nowadays, but all of your art is deserving). I think you should maybe even do more paintings in this style. My mom even tells me sometimes that I sing like crap, though I'm in the hardest to get into choir, and I got into it my freshman year(I'm a sophmore now). >_> I think parents insult us because they think it'll make us try harder to defy them.. It works for me, but still, it's rude.

Thanks... sorry to hear you got the same shtuff. No fun.

That's a really sweet recommendation...! And I know the feeling about commenting. I usually get around 40 messages a day, and it's overwhelming to keep up with, but I try!

If your parents hate it, then it's a good sign.

Awesome use of colour, and I love the eyes.

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was personal.

And that is the thing that makes it so great. You can have perfect technique all you want, but if an artist does not invest some of herself into the painting, it becomes static and unfeeling, and the viewer will know.

Keep this stuff up!

Well, I think its fantastic. It reminds me of Mary Grandpre's pastel works. [link]
It's also one of the more expressive pieces you've done. I love the use of color in the clouds and the skin, you just paint so freely. The simplicity is what makes it so pleasing.

And since when has your parents' judgement been remotely correct? I mean, Shawn, and eating disorders, etc. They don't know what they are talking about. And my dear, I'd say you have a bit more experience in critiquing art than they do. There have been so many artists who were rejected by their parents, and they turned out to be world-renowned. Don't even pay attention to what they say.

Love you. <3

and.... just wondering, why do your parents hate it? Have they told you so?

sapphire-chocobo In reply to CherubRock [2005-11-28 02:33:33 +0000 UTC]

I don't know why they hate it. They say it has 'no depth' and it's 'sloppy.' Go figure.

Bah, as if that is the most important in paintings. I believe it's lovely. They ought to notice the pure feeling the whole thing radiate. It's loveliness!

Beautiful technique and colors. There's something about her that captures me, maybe something in her eyes. Lovely work.

Why let your parents dictate what you do? So it's not the 'norm'. Big deal. I like how this looks and I'm sure the person you are giving it to will appreciate the gesture.
