The greatest compliment for me is for a viewer to be stirred by my work. In this case, harmonizing prose allows the art to settle on the observer in a different manner. I believe Barbara’s response gives both dimension and foundation to the art allowing it to resolve into the psyche. Thank you for noticing and taking the time to comment. The piece is mixed media (acrylic and collage). Matt medium and a pallet knife give the foam texture. I painted this piece several years ago, but knew it wasn’t complete sensing something coming out of the wave. The woman provides a perfect combination of movement and power completing the piece.

Christine and Clarissa are so right. The picture is dynamic. It leaps off the screen and touches the viewer. The story is the story of me (and so many others). I want to visit this ocean and play with the dolphins and learn from them too!

This is about me, I swear. I related to these pieces so completely, but I could never have expressed it so beautifully. It’s as though the artists crept inside my head and read what they found there, and then put the feelings and images on paper in such a way as to convey them impeccably.I just want to look and read again and again. Thank you.

Really nice blend of a story with the picture. Both mediums were great by themselves, but the combination was fantastic!

Here is another painting I would love to keep. It’s really alive, I can feel the wave and taste it, and the colours really sing to me. Sukia, what medium did you use? I know the medium doesn’t create the melody, but the texture reminds me of acrylic, and I am curious to know. I love the way the water and the sky and the birds and the clouds and the swimmer seem all rolled into one, in unity, as we all really aught to be. Also love that deep seaweedy green, as though she is wrapped in healing light. And Barbara’s prose is so tuned in to the painting. It picks up the wave, and rides it all the way to shore.
