To have the close ups brings this beautiful piece alive and reading your words makes me feel I'm sat with you and talking as a friend. You have an amazing capacity to communicate both on and off a piece of art and I absolutely thank you for that. I love the subtle shades, the texture, the almost violent ink splatters and the beautiful gleam which to me represents a hope - why? I don't know and it would take ages to unravel that one. Thank you so much for letting us in with this outstanding piece - it has been a pleasure.<br />Juliaxx<br />Have a wonderful week and don't ever stop doing what you do.Julia S-Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556957426362027643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-78009924260726465432012-09-30T21:44:01.795+02:002012-09-30T21:44:01.795+02:00I read your post like a novel I never wanted to en...I read your post like a novel I never wanted to end.

You are so right in that our moods greatly effect our art. And so it should be. Your art journal pages really do reflect your feelings and emotions while working with this theater presentation of an aging Romeo and Juliet facing the end of their lives together. Your pages are wonderfully done. Thank you for sharing your inspiration for them as well as the lovely process you went through to achieve them. And thanks for sharing them with everyone at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 CandyCandy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535189076995596464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-23679233382505160362012-09-30T15:06:04.048+02:002012-09-30T15:06:04.048+02:00Absolutely gorgeous- love the soft colors and all ...Absolutely gorgeous- love the soft colors and all the texture.

And does it work? Well for those of us standing outside that would be a resounding yes, but for you, well only you can judge that. You can always have a go at a second version so as not to spoil this one and maybe get rid of those nagging doubts? (time allowing of course!) OK, war and peace over, off to see your latest post.

I was totally absorbed in what you were saying and it made my heart ache. Once I looked at your pictures I could really feel your mood and see why you used the colours and textures. The black ink said it all, I think. This is such a wonderful piece, you really are so wonderfully creative.

They are there! As subtle but firmly imprinted as the traces of burden in Romeo's and Juliet's lives are in the play. <br /><br />Such a shame, I am too far away to watch it. It sounds like some really deep going play that shows the very essence of life and strong and caring relationship. <br /><br />I think, it was right, not to stress the "message" of the journal pages too hard. Those who have learned their lessons can read it anyway. And this way it feels "real". No "invented feeling" - I hope, I could express some of my thoughts upon your deeply touching piece right.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Claudia xxxClaudia N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03577948083701178316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817270423416767524.post-68605929613431609912012-09-29T21:38:23.343+02:002012-09-29T21:38:23.343+02:00I loved it when I saw it earlier and I love it eve...I loved it when I saw it earlier and I love it even more now.

I just think it captures the side of love that isn't all hearts and flowers...sometimes it can be many shades of grey. This piece looks quite plain compared to your other works but it is so right...just some words (and your handwriting is always amazing), the ink blots 'ruining' it - To me the ink blots are perfect, simply because in life and love nothing ever is!!!Lawsbomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685624096825406629noreply@blogger.com
