This is such a wonderful piece of work. It feels like the drawing and the peom are so beautifully linked, they would be lost without one another. Wonderful

Such a compliment, and from someone as talented as yourself. Thank you, pixie.
I'm over looking at your art, and the non-objective paintings you do with wax are captivating. I've never heard of the process -- what is it? In any case, the sense of texture is marvelous, and I really like your eye for color.

Thanks so much.
It's called Encaustic Wax Painting, and it's thoroughly addictive! If you look on the internet you can buy the equipment you need. Using an iron you melt wax onto a glossy card surface (which doesn't absorb the wax). It's very therapeutic and good fun. I've converted atleast 30 people to wax painting now!!! I'm in love with colour so I think that why I found this medium so appealing.

I'm going to have to look into that, thank you. I'll bet maybe it might adhere to canvas, too, for a larger painting?
Another color addict, here. It's an addictive passion, eh?
I hope you don't get this twice. DA has been very slow for me today and I got a message in first sending this that it didn't go through. However, I've been receiving duplicates of others' Private Messages, and so I wonder if they didn't also get the message, re-send, and then have it double up when it reaches the inbox. Anyway, sorry if that's the case.

No it didn't come through twice, but don't worry I've been having that a lot lately too, having to resend and ending up sending duplicates. It's the only glitch on DA that bugs me. Can't have everything I suppose

I have to agree on the comment of pixie queen! The poem and the illustration seemed really stitched to each other literally speaking, made for each other. Beautiful piece! I know you are capable of illustrating/drawing/sketching...I never thought you have this poetic side of you Tina!
