    I think you look sad in this, lovely green eyes though.

  • blamo

    blamo

    you look very pensive in this

  • linaji replied

    Hi, blamo,, i had to look it up to feel it for sure but you may be right:
    Pensive, meditative, reflective suggest quiet modes of apparent or real thought. Pensive, the weakest of the three, suggests dreaminess or wistfulness, and may involve little or no thought to any purpose: a pensive, faraway look. I do believe it is wistfulness and may involve little or no thought to any purpose..yes that is it!

  • linaji

    linaji

    HI JOHN SCOTT,,,hmmmm I remember when I took the original.. and I was not sad,, I do believe I was trying to be cool though..:o)

  • GlennRoger

    GlennRoger

    I have looked at this image a dozen times or more and I have come to the conclusion that the only comment I can offer is an honest one. Whilst I think it is a brilliant piece of work there is something slightly disturbing about the image that I can’t quite put my finger on. Please don’t take that as a criticism, but quite the opposite. I can’t remember the last time I spent this much time mulling over an image. I can’t help but wonder what lies behind those incredible eyes.

  • linaji replied

    Thank you for all that you bring to my work Glenn Roger.. appreciate this comment as infact I am looking back again and again,, so I wrote it out.. perhaps if I made this piece now.. indeed it would not be what it is..

  • Jan Landers

    Jan Landers

  • Al Neaimi

    Al Neaimi

    Hi Lina , I looked and looked at this image the only thought cames to mind is , this is the last scream for help before the soul passes away , melting away , the eyes still connected to this side but it is fading fast , disturbing Image , you did well here lina to get some reactions , art does not always have to be about beautiful things, well done.

  • linaji replied

    My Great Teacher, in so many ways. Thank You.

  • RosaCobos

    RosaCobos

    Modesty….
    when one reflects the countenance on blurring surface.
    on rippling waters… modesty and shyness..
    Just the eyes may remain unmoving…
    and forwhat I see.. they are not sad.
    but absoluteley inquisiteve.
    A lapsus of attention still life..
    before action is eing taken…
    and the result is a calm… in the moving….
    Rosa (I love it.)

    i love that you have seemed to mesh into the outsides of yourself in this .. blending .. sort of melting into the universe .. which is what you do so incredibly, you are a beautiful spiritual being and this is a wonderful reflection of you .. do you really sing in the morning and close your eyes whilst smiling for 2 minutes? I am going to do that tomorrow morning x
