| Poor Nastassya, she endured so much! I love the wild
and windswept look of the entire painting. To me, it represents all of
the wandering back and forth she did between the men, and her indecision
and loss of direction as a result. Naomi Reynolds, USA |
| The paintings you have done for these are just amazing.
I really do love them. This one in particular strikes me, I think because
of the colors you have used on her skin and maybe the way her hair is flying,
or the background...Okay, I love all of it. Susana, USA, Sept 10 |
| The touches of red,
especially around the bosom, do well at hinting at some sort of sexual
immorality, and the pose, too, hints at how easily
she is swayed back and forth by society...this seems like a reference to
the Biblical metaphor that a person who is swayed back and forth like a
reed in the wind is of no use to the kingdom of Heaven. Still, there seems
to be a little bit of fear in her expression, something that evokes one
to want to reach out as Myshkin hoped to, to save and redeem her. That
to me shows that you succeeded with this. Oh...and maybe I'm wrong, but
the fact that the "wind" blowing against her is green, the color
of envy, certainly suggests Rogozhin's dark desire that eventually kills
her. M.A., Nov 06 |
| I love it. It's like she is a kite...blowing away.
Beautiful work. And I love the blue. - Sarah Barley, USA, April 04 |
| I love the green paint strokes in the backround, and
the way her eyes seem to flow into them. good job! - Kate, USA, Dec 04 |
oh ! love everything about it -Basil Chatelain , Switzerland, Dec 03 |
I like it! Love how the medium brings out all the lovely textures! Then
there's the colours, the character is very well done by the way, such a
mournful mood behind it, to me perhaps, anyhow. Good stuff, keep it up! -Jayden Leigh Scholz , Australia , Dec 03 |
