Resurrection (IF - Atmosphere)





I have awakened, soaring from death, my dreamless slumber.


What can I say? My fascination and utterly bewildering attachment to these exotic images are proving to be quite a blissful catastrophe up there in my head. I see them with my eyes widely opened throughout the day, and even more so as I close them at night. Strangely enough, I see each beginning transforming from a single line and shaping into a vivid imagery even before I put the tip of my pencil onto paper. Quite exhausting, don't you think? I feel like being in a rush and running in a race with only myself as competitor.

Though I have no idea where this intoxicating drive is taking me, I know I am enjoying the thrill of the unknown, daring me to unfold and push myself just a bit closer to the edge. So please bear with me and wish me a little luck on my expedition into the depth of my own curiosity!


Salutations,
Amalia.

  9. Oh my goodness..this is stunning, Amalia. You are AMAZING! I've said it before, haven't I?!! She is so beautiful and the textures and how you've interwoven the beautiful rich color of the dragon, and mimic it on her robe is lovely...compositionally, graphically...lovely! I am just absolutely enjoying this ride with you as you continue pushing yourself to the edges of your mind's eye. Fantastic!! : )

  11. How heavy and strong the dragon is and how tamed he looks in her tender arms! It's difficult to analyse this time - I just look and what I feel is energy, strength and determination... Go ahead, dear friend, follow your curiosity and dreams, explore them and look deep inside your soul and mind. No boundaries, no hesitations! The path is yours and it will lead you somewhere... There's nothing "par hasard", I believe!xx
    Oh, I like the coloured reflections on her face!

  13. Really amazing Amalia. It is so much fun to be 'in the flow' of an artistic outpouring I think. You are producing so much amazing work! I love her eyes, they look almost dragon like and the printing on her gown is fabulous.
    I would love to know what medium you are using too.

    I leave inspired, as always.

    Smiles and hugs

  20. Okay Amalia. Cease! Desist! Your work is just saoring and I fill sixk with dissiness.

    Just a wow for this one. So dark and yet so heavy! I just love your last few works.


    Heh. That ephiphany must have been gestating. What gem filled dragons lurk in yonder brain field.

  21. Hello, hello, everyone! Thanks so much for your kind and generous comments on my work. Each one means a lot to me, and I really mean that! You have no idea how much I'm encouraged to do better just by reading your words...

    I'm sorry for not answering each comment, but my head is still in a rush, remember? Right now, I have something needs pouring out...hehehe.

    I see that some of you were questioning about the medium I use? Well, I'll try to post something about that next time, ok? If my head doesn't completely break down from exhaustion, of course... :D :D

    Ciao!! oxox

    Mulan: Uh... I, I, uh...
    Chi Fu: Your commanding officer just asked you a question.
    Mulan: Uh, I've got a name. Ha! And it's a boy's name, too.
    Mushu: [whispering in Mulan's ear] Ling. How 'bout Ling?
    Mulan: [pointing at Ling] His name is Ling.
    Shang: I didn't ask for his name. I asked for yours!
    Mushu: Try, uh, uh, ah, Chu.
    Mulan: Ah Chu.
    Shang: Ah Chu?
    Mushu: Gesundheit.
    Mushu: [chuckles] I kill myself.
    Mulan: Mushu...
    Shang: Mushu?
    Mulan: No!
    Shang: Then what is it?
    Mushu: Ping! Ping was my best friend growin' up.
    Mulan: It's Ping.
    Shang: Ping?
    Mushu: Of course, Ping did steal my girl...
    [Mulan muffles him]
