Memories from a lifetime....to be continued

Powerful and extraordinary work Helene. I love the emotions and how you have captured the memories through the water. This is exceptional emotive work. I love the composition very much.

wonderful work helene..and a real project ..well done !! It’s a biggie with those dimensions for sure and much good luck with finishing it.

It’s one of those paintings that may take a lifetime..I understand you completely.
I’m thinking of starting another big one too very soon..and it will never get sold either (well not to any overseas visitors) ..because the board I’m going to work on seems to weigh a ton..hha!!

I think you do amazing work ..you’re a real artist my friend..and all the luck in the world to you .

xxxooo

I’d love one day to see a step by step series of one of your paintings. How do you start a painting Helene? Seriously …

This is an extraordinary art piece, Helen. It is a deeply moving experience to view it here (i cried). I can only imagine seeing the original, especially given the size of the work. Bravo.

I reread what I wrote (after posting it). I left the e off your name, Helene. Sorry:(

Helene.. I have read what you wrote to others.. this is simply incredible that you would allow yourself to represent the fact that life is never finished and never done.. I am in awe..

I hear you and agree with you my friend…I too fear drowning as I have been dumped many times by huge waves in the Ocean and that complete loss of freedom when the waves take you over makes me feel very vulnerable. I love my freedom so much too and like you if I feel I cannot breathe I begin to panic. You have captured this unruly ocean beautifully here Helene. Am emotionally moved by your work.

Excellent , extraordinary art piece, God Bless You.

life is dynamic Helene, so why should art and memories become stagnant – beautiful work

Fantastic work and concept Helene…incredible detail and story, large version is a treat but it would be simply amazing to see the real thing;)

Thanks Helene…just might do one of these days…wouldn’t that be something lol!

Wow Helene! Really great!

I know the feeling of struggling to keep your head above the waves – powerful work helene!

Such stories last forever friend! Our journey it but of life and death, too short is life and in death we forget. I understand where you are coming from, its like counting stars some nights you know them all yet on others more appear or dissapear. This story you paint is written within your DNA friend yet to read all its secrets may take many lifetimes! Helene when its finished your soul will shine! Thank you for sharing this un-finished beauty!!!...)o(

“Is but of life and death!”
