Lonely

Lovely and sensitive portrayal of emotion! You have a beautiful creative mind!

There is a contrast between title and colors and i think that this is what makes this painting interesting and strong!!!

Love the unexpected colors in this work and free-flowing brush work. This is a beautiful painting, despite the feelings of the subject.

my chronic illness shall not stop me;it is serious, but i feel i have more paintings to paint..THANK YOU>>>love jude

dear, sweet understanding fania, thank you SO MUCH for your response;i needed to hear just exactly that now;your understanding means so very much to me;and i will NOT give up, no matter ho much tougher it may get...you are such a big help to me, do you know that? i hope so...likewise, dear, always with love to you, jude

Yes, I understand you, dear Judy... and all I can say is: THANK GOD YOU ARE STILL DOING YOUR BEST TO MAKE IT THROUGH.....quiting is not an option...may faith and works carry US through - from the madness to abundant joy --- .Always with love, dear Jude!

thank you, fania...you are right;there is inner loneliness but she is covered with grace and feathers and only needs to allow herself to feel this;fear shuts off too many lovely things...i know, as i was afflicted (still am sometimes) with panic attacks and agoraphobia...when the world is TOO much, colors too bright, noises too loud;it's like feeling the pain of the earth itself;that sounds so pretentious, i know, but i don't know how else to describe it;it's like a thin line between utter beauty & terror...something like that;does that make any sense to you? i have been like this since childhood, for as long as i can remember...was told, "it's a tough world & you had better become tougher"...how? why? i am who i am...& cannot be anyone else, though i tried for nearly 20 yrs. ..non-painting years...& was miserable, so i know what "masks" are;it was horrible but i survived ...probably some of my work now comes from remembering those times;i have quite a sensory memory. sorry to ramble on, fania, and i thank you so for your insightful comments. (i did a painting in '05 called "all those mute years" and i must find it to photograph & put into machine;it says more , although it is so simple in form than tons of words. thanks again, dear fania)...love, judy

Very beautiful painting, dear Judy! In my eyes, she may be lonely but not alone! She is covered with grace!
