LINAJIIS
happiness scale daily I am shooting for 11.. not crazy.. but a way to feel good that feels solid and earthy and funny and joyful that makes my heart sing.. as I sing every day and upon awakening from bed.. I smile for one to two minute with eyes closed
10… yep.. solid.. 11 being the goal.. xxx
ME ABSTRACT AND AMAZED:
Greeting Cards and Matted Prints

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

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
dear one…...your eyes touch my heart…..this is so creative and unique and wonderful…...
linaji replied
A very different take for me.. Although I touch on it throughout my work,,,xoxox thank you dear friend..
Helene Kippert

Helene,, thank you sooo much!! appreciate your work and your eye here, an honor
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.
amarica
Excellent abstract Lina
linaji replied
Amarica,,thank you so much!
RLHall
Awesome work, it says so much, but can’t quite decide exactly what, eyes drowning in emotion, beautiful and disturbing, great effects…

LisaB entity
THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE !!..... WELL DONE YOU
linaji replied
LisaB!! I was so excited to see you here, I completly missed the reply.. Thank you….!!
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.)
kimbaross
Love the treatment.

I love how everything is distorted apart from the eyes- the windows to our soul.
PJ Ryan
this is amazing … the mouth is obscured .. which is ironic because here you speak with words from keys .. which comes from your soul .. not your mouth :) (sheesh, did that make sense?)

I acknowledge my dark sister as she would blow up sometimes if I did not.. this manner of communication appeses her sorrow sometimes.. then she sleeps again.. dreaming of the day of total liberation.. from her small minded heart.. ohhh I shall take care of her till then.. tee hee..xoxox
Farras Abdelnour

PJ Ryan
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
linaji replied
I promise you. .as soon as my eyes open.. I take 3 deep breaths and smile.. and then it is so interesting as it seems only calm nice thoughts form or none at all!! and I do sing.. yes.. xxxx your wonderful.
PJ Ryan
you’re such an inspiration .. i’m AM definately going to try to remember to do that tomorrow .. thanx sista x
linaji replied
hugs.. and I think tomorrow.. you will be in my smile.
