this is intense..i enlarged this, recommend you all do..there is a window (at least for me) the title is perfect. there are many thoughts that go thru my head when i look into this …when i was young,very young.. i would always draw stairs..finding a way out..a way out of my thoughts or of my stuff…..pain when shoved deep..swallowed…hidden…or abanded has to go thru so many channels to find the window ..pain when alllowed to breathe in the air of light subsides..
your work brings up thought..that is something i just really love about it…some so deep it could be talked about for days and some is just a beautiful thought that brings a calm happiness..
this is one that will bring some real good writing out.. terri
liesbeth replied
terri, thank you so much for your words, and for sharing.

Natella2020
The perfect entry, too. I can’t wait to see Margpie’s words to go with it!
Follwed aspectsoftmk’s advice and enlarged it, and I’m glad I did. The details reveal new meaning. I agree, your art allows people to think and elve and try to understand. I can see it in some future museum or private collection next to Van Gogh and Da Vinci.
liesbeth replied
Wow that sure makes my day! I am allready happy when i read comments about making others think and even more FEEL, that’s what it is to me, feelings. Thank you Natella for taking the time to enlarge it.
Paolo Galuppi
So wonderful in colours and design. Excellent creativity, I’m an admirer of your art!
liesbeth replied
Paolo what can i say…., works both ways.
Maya -
Awesome painting! It has a familiarity about it, like I have been there before….but where? A crystal cave perhaps hidden in our mother’s bossom?
liesbeth replied
Maya, i think it is just great that this has a familiar feeling for you, maybe we have been here in another time…

Paul Stephen ...
Great piece leaves so much for the imagination, I get associations with a burnt and or abandoned house somehow and more that is difficult to explain great art and words Paul :))))
liesbeth replied

lianne
Such a perfect collaboration Liesbeth – the words so perfectly express the hope in this incredible work of art. And the art itself draws me in to a place I want to be – surrounded by beauty and soul and spirit where “pain subsides.” I suspect it’s in that light just beyond…
liesbeth replied
thank you for these kind words lianne.. i’m glad you can feel the comfort of this piece.. and yes.. that’s where it is… xx

Scott d'Almeida
stunning image,
CanDuCreations
Awesome work
Kimberley Davitt
incredible work, so well done
RosaCobos
Yes.. there are many kinds of pains, though all pass through heart and body.
The pain of the artist comes from a so profound vaccum and at the same tipy is full of energy that many times is clutching to it withoutletting it go. Blurred as this image, eroded, faded… while one is having the image to created… it does not actually coming…and it hurts.. of course… this is nothing comparing with other pains…. I know..but yet…it comes..it happens..not my case.. but in some very intense souls, a motiv for loosing their senses….. and even their souls.

Deborah Milligan
fascinating work liesbeth :)
Rajdev D
What an art piece, superb.
F.A. Moore
A gorgeous encaustic. I’m so impressed with the subtleties of the piece. And the poem is a delight.
F.A. Moore
I actually came to say, and will add here, thanks for submitting this to Solo Exhibition. :) I do appreciate it.
liesbeth replied
Thank you for your supportiv comment.. glad you like it.
riverskye
HI I am new here and have to say I find this painting beautiful and so haunting, the colours are outstanding. It makes me think of Titanic with a deserted dressing table on the right and the regal staircase to the left. We all have our own interpretations of a given image and this is mine. Absolutely wonderful !
liesbeth replied
hey..hi.. first welcome to rb..;)
Thank you for sharing your take on this.. it’s nice to see different views..makes me look at it different also.. i love that.. ;)
