Life-Giver

Thanks, EI, I adore the colors, too.

My first feature! I’m new to Red Bubble. Thank you so much MoonSpiral and the Divine Feminine Group! I’m honored.

Thank you, Pepper! I’m honored that you favorited it, as I’m a new admirer of your own art.

Thank you, Ushna. Your kuddo is appreciated and encouraging.

Hi Emma. Glad you saw this. Thanks for the favorite. :)

Yes! A lot in the work. Including the motage that makes up the hat. They are tiny pictures of life—fruit, animals, the sea (alive, I believe), flowers, trees, and all manner of things. In the hat, I applied a watercolor filter to them, to create the mosaic effect. But along side of the tassles, you can make out the tiny images, without effect. Thanks for your curiousity and comments, Emma!

Thank you, linaji. I felt as if I were dressing a doll. The model’s face was just beautiful. I’m honored that you favorited Life-Giver.

Thanks, Jill! Well, I’ve been away from the art world for entirely too long, emersed in the world of science and math and programming—challenging too. As you know, I wish I had time for the brushes, but digital art is providing that refreshment and nourishment that I need right now, between long hours of coding. Red Bubble will make me a better artist.

Jill, thank you for favoriting. I’m pleased you like it so much.

Thank you, Val! and yay!! I’m thrilled to be featured. Congratulations on being the featured member in the Feminine Intent.

Wow, I’m so happy about this feature! Thank you! What a great group.

Thanks, Bev. And thanks for favoriting. I really appreciate it.

OH, Isa, thank you!

And thank you for adding Life-Giver to your favs, Isa.

Wow. Thank you for this great honor, Life-Giver featured in the great core [C.O.R.E] group gallery. Yippee!

Thank you, very much, Mark!

Thank you for your comment and favoriting, Helene. I, too, felt her face was vulnerable, the expression in the eyes and mouth, beautiful. We can thank the model for that.

Thank you so much Anita, for your encouraging comment!

...and for the favorite.

Thank you! Great to see you back here. :)

I meant to add, thanks for favoriting, too. :)

Ahh! Good eye. There is indeed a lot to see in the background. Thank you! And thanks for favoriting!

Thank you so much, Pip for coming by to comment! It is easy on the eyes. :)

Pip, wow. I’m astounded. And elated. Thank you for honoring this work with a feature in the Featured group. I’ve posted a thank-you on the club forum. :D

Thanks so much, owlspook. It is very encouraging. My first “hit”. :)) Welll… you know what I mean. Lots of favorites, and I’m thrilled about the features. It spreads the word about this newbie to RB. Thanks for popping in!

Hi there, Sandy! I’m glad you came to see it. Thanks for favoriting it!

Thank you, so much for your beautiful comment, Marillia. Indeed, I adore Gustav Klimt, and tagged the piece with his name. I’d love to do more with his concept of mosaic bits and pieces.

Rebecca, so glad you found Life-Giver. I wanted your thoughts on my Klimt-inspired treatment. Thank you!

Thank you, Hugh!

Thank you, suncent! Interesting is good! I’ll take it. :D)

Thanks, sunshine!

Thank you, Vickie. I appreciate your description. :)

Thanks, Margaret! :D

Wow, back! Thank you, sneha! :)

Oh, Wow, Sharon, thank you! I had not submitted it previously, because I thought it might not fit the group. I’m so pleased! :D

Thank you, Sharon.

So glad to hear that Susan. Thank you. It’s about tied for my most favorited and commented work.

Hey Bev! That’s right; we didn’t know each other way back then. lol. Thank you my friend.

Really! Wow, Song. That’s saying a lot! Thank you for such a compliment.

Thank you, Cynthia!

Thank you, Elena! Makes me happy to hear you say that.

Thank you, Reynaldo, and for favoriting. Just checked out your gallery and commented a few favs there.

Thanks so much, Gina. Yes, this was my first hit; I’ve met many wonderful people through this artwork and Choice II, also.

Yes, she’s a good model. I chose well with this image with such a remarkable face with clear qualities. For digital art, it’s like using fine ingredients in a recipe. Quality in, quality out.

Thanks, and thanks for favoriting it too.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Ming. :)

Thank you, Angie, and for favoriting, too.

Banrai, thank you, again. I’m deeply appreciative.

Corinna, I missed your comment. Wow, Thank you!

Louise, thank you very much.

Thanks, Tahnja. Well, you see things I don’t of course; so I’m glad to hear what you’re saying. When I was drawing, I would turn my piece in the mirror to see if there was something out of balance. But I’m not doing it with these digital pieces, so I don’t see. :) Thanks for your input. :D

Ah! Some good ideas there. Thanks, Tahnja.
Now I don’t want you to be annoyed, so run along now, lol.
;) Close your eyes. lol. Seriously, thanks for those tips.

Oh wow! Going now….

Thanks, more than you know. :)

Marilyn, thank you very much.

Glad you found this, Steve. Thank you! :D

Thanks so much, Walt.

Rhino, I had never considered that. It’s those lips. Young Molly, as I remember her from the Breakfast Club, had those very large, full lips, and sweet dark eyes. A nice memory, as I really enjoyed that movie and the actors it introduced. Thanks!

Thank you, redqueen! I had Klimt in mind when I created the mosaic for her headdress. I love Gustav Klimt’s art. And for some reason, I pictured it, when Life-Giver started taking shape. Thanks for recognizing the nod in his direction. We cannot help but be influenced by the art that we love. It’s very natural, like the influence of the woods, or gardens, or birds, or the air and sky, itself. Especially when one inhales art as if was life or breath. :D

Thank you for saying so, Jeff. Makes my evening to read this.

Thank you much, Lucy. The model photographs herself with some pretty good equipment. I felt her facial expression was so beautiful and perfect for this artwork. I have her to thank for that “capture”.

Hi, Norval! You are so sweet to do so. Yes one of favorites, too. Other images have now outrun this one in the number of “favorites”; but this was my very first feature and I only knew one person on the site at the time. THANK YOU!

Esther, thank you for your gracious and sweet comment here and other comments this evening.
