Daddy's Girl

This brings out so many emotions in me Thomas. Its been favorited and its an aweszome piece. I honestly cannot find the words to say anything more.

very interesting peice i like it

thought provoking stuff!
very deep. i think alot will be able to relate to this..

indeed there is an overwhelming sadness to this Thomas… i’m trying to ascertain whats in the upstairstair’s window… i’m thinking daddy…but my monitor is telling me puppy dog… wish i could see the original…. also the blue ankle piece… trying to figure that one out…..... man your images are so interactive….............b

superb

I just can’t talk about this yet…..

very emotional. Poor soul looks so distraught & in such pain. and the Dog in the window, has a devilish look about him. Brilliant piece. Even though we carry baggage with us into relationships & can’t leave the suitcases outside the door it still hurts when we hurt our new partners even tho we try not to

sorry i called you a puppy dog…...........b

A moody and atmospheric artful creation, well done Thomas! :D

A lonely piece, Thomas.

Abandonment. Rejection.
The hurt as a child is something that does not quite heal.

And so…it is herself she holds…
Often, a comfortless comfort…

Such a lonely piece, Thomas.

ohhhhhhh.. the things i could say…...............b

A bit different spin from your usual ‘unique’ style Thomas! The purple/blue hues are marvelous….....I love this work very much….............

Thomas, this is such an emotional piece, I can see it brought a lot of resonance in other people, most of it has been said already, just want to add a little. in every one of us still lives this little girl, who wants to hide so no one else can find her and see a pain in her eyes, when no matter how hard she tries, she still thinks it is not good enough. I think it often happens to a girl, who was a first child, when daddy wanted a boy.

Without reading the words, it is applicable to everyone. But I do sence a hope, for she turned away, as if she is trying to get free from that pain and guilt.

It’s work like this that motivates me to taking photos! Thanks for the inspiration mate!... Awesome!

Thomas I have no doubt she would love as much as I do. Its an awesome work of art and emotion. Without all the trials life throws our way, all the challenges, disappointments, pain, and losses. without having to struggle and overcome all of these things. I do not think we would appreciate all the good things we recieve…at least not as much. I think it would just be taken for granted. Perhaps I am wrong but I know personally I try very hard to let the people I love and care for know how I feel. Having lost 2 very important people in my life at such a young age it made me truly appreciate the gifts/people I have in my life. So although this is painful. It also is a reminder of all the above and that I got through it and learned to love and even trust. I hope you do more like this. You did it very well. {{ hugs}} V

Outstanding manipulation.

Brilliant peice of work…............if your art speaks and stirs emotion then that’s all you can ask for as an artist…...............you have a winner here…........congrats

evokes a deep sense of sorrow and despair and loneliness…approval has to come from within…wot a great piece…

Wow this is so powerful and emotive. I found myself having to stare at it for quite some time. Impressive work…

Beautiful and emotive piece this Thomas. I’m afraid the figure in the window does look like a dog but in a way that gives it an interesting surreal touch. This made me think of an alternative compositional scenario where instead of having her head down she’s looking over her shoulder (literally and metaphorically) to the character who so dominates her emotional life, arms by her side with one hand clenched and the other with fingers splayed to heighten the tension.

Stirring and powerful Thomas

the depth is amazing, both figurative and literal. your prose is an exquisite fit to the piece, and this one actually made me gasp. Love the textures as always, and I confess, I looked for text and book parts…;)

quite a stirring work, well done !

..so haunting

you’re amazing

the artwork .. the words ..

truly talented and intelligent.

You just absolutely amaze me with your work! Every time! Speechless:)

This is a masterful piece of art! Very emotional, and powerful!

OH HELL NO!!!!!! I am not the one with a 5 foot banner outside a Gallery with my name on it!! You are!!!

great work thomas.
i like the focal point you chose and the blur is enough but well balanced not to be too much. clever, arty and stylish. cheers!

Tom this is such a powerful piece. I spent years working with abused children and this image brings to mind a thousand different stories…all the same and completely different. now what I mean. Well done you…not an easy subject matter.

WoW, this is great work, i love the detail in this work. Fantastic.

This piece is the most painterly Ive seen of your work yet – fantastic – and totally emotive – – always tugging at the heart strings and soul you are.

Excellent ….again….and says so much. It is a beauty to look at…..and your concept comes across so well. Bravo!

wow, a really moody, dark, emotive piece.
lovely dedication.
love the way her white clothing contrasts with her surroundings.
another masterpiece!
;-) xox

Wonderful Thomas. So many people could relate to this and gain comfort from it. Excellent work as always. May I ask who or what is at the window, it looks like a fox or a wolf but I can’t make it out? Not important as far as the image is concerned but I am just intrigued!

Ouch. This is a truly wonderful piece, but a little painful.
As always though, wonderful piece!

LMAO!!! Perfect!!!
How did you know?

Lovely work.

Very emotional work! Outstanding

nice. reminds me of some of Porcupine Tree’s album artwork.

please help remove the ache in my heart and lump in my throat….....

BEAUTIFUL DARK IMAGE AND GREAT DETAIL.I like this very much.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fantastic!

Too good

Fabulous!!!! Congrats on the front page!!!

fantastic !

Excellent work! Thought provoking image! Congrats on making homepage!

WOW! Very powerful! Both the art work as well as the description. Great job. ~Christine :-)

This is so powerful and emotional, absoutley love aevry aspect you captured here, I am in awe

hey congratulations you are famous all over again! LOL xo love your work!

That’s messed up, but in a realistic and relatable way where you’re not sure cuz of all the emotion in the picture or cuz you’ve been there at some point in life with someone/something. Hard to leave the past behind you.

Love the fact that it’s hard to tell how you did this picture. Seems parts are so clear they look photographed; other parts look done by hand.

Wow, what an emotional statement this amazing image portrays! very well done and I love the story you typed out for it too!

heart breaking this work of art ….

Congrats Thomas on Being Featured on the Home Page, awesome

;) much love

congrats once again

This work strikes up a lot of emotion in me, no doubt! I love it though. Fathers can leave scars that run deep. But when they heal there are no words to decribe it. That’s why I paint. I like your image. Great Work!

wow – this is beautiful

wow very profound and congrats for being on the front page

Chillingly awsome!

Have A Blessed Day,
Maria

Incredibly beautiful, powerful and eerie.

this is wonderful work, great composition and editing….i only want to know becauase i cant make it out for the life of me, “what is in the window upstairs?”

well done :)

Exquisite, moody, and heart-breaking. Daddy’s Girl well deserves the recognition of being Featured art. Again, congratulations, and thank you for learning your art so very well. (The accompanying poetry breaks my heart, too.) -=Dayonda

Full on, great art work , well done.

schpoookay…....................dvd cover! love your work!! xx

Exquisite Soul´s feature of the Núbile rejected by her father…
A matter of deep psychoanalitical fundations.
The seed… for the craving of intercourse with men.
The pit of undervaluation…. and fear.. needing for protection..
Out of home…
Out of herself.
She will be looking for “him”..
remaining a little girl… in a part of her soul.
Rosa (what can I tell you?... it is beautiful Thomas)

i feel this!

Hi Thomas I have featured this art work in The Redbubble Digital Alphabet because it is such an amazing piece. I hope this is ok…Check it out in my journal: The Redbubble Digital Alphabet

Thomas, your work is fantastic. The writing is so revealing. You say so much with your art and very few words. Terrific

great work, fantastic insight in your statement. you are very wise

Really says a lot! Very moving, even with out your description, the painting says it all

Beautiful piece! Congrats on Home page! Daddy is a little creepy.

Incredible.

Stunning work, to create something so beautiful out of pain from someones past is a very special thing…..such a superb image…....

Oh and congrats on the Home Page!!

great work …again Thomas… and something that touches more than the “little lost girls” out there… I keep away from the subject… as this is a very similar story to my ex….and so life goes on

Powerful statement both in image and words! Congrats on homepage feature~

Very thought provocking and inspirational work

Fantastic image!

So much raw pain & emotion this stirs up. Deep.

Thomas my ex suffered because of her father. He went to work one day when she was six years old and never came back as he ran off with his mistress – and in doing so fucked up her life (sorry about the language) and she still cannot form lasting relationships. An amazing piece of work, powerful and emotive, just as art should be when required.

Perturbing…

wonderful..well done!

How do you know so well the minds of women, both young and old? A woman of any age could claim this image as her own story. And the writing too reveals an understanding I’m not sure many men could express. Your work is a story waiting to be told. I hope many tell them in response to this beautiful piece and experience healing as a result.
