Fine work here Lori. Very well done and into my favorites it goes.

It looks great with the stained glass mosiac effect. I admire your imagination!

She seems more like depression than those stated emotions on the artwork. Laying on bed, with hands under her head. Staring forward into thought and imagination. The eyes are not bold, but rather, sad and contemplative. On my monitor, her eyes appear to be green. Her hair red/bronze. But all else is beige, which to me leads me back to depression. She is also boxed in with your frame and this, too, leads me back to the depression. Am I close, Lori, to the emotion of the picture or am I very far off?

I like this creative work of yours, Your really on a roll. John sure made me think after reading his comment.
♪ ♫ :)Sandi♪ =^..^=

I too felt the way John did about your posting. Altho it is a very creative piece of art, it does seem to send quite a message, other then the words on there. It's really all in ones mind. I see there is one of the tall letters that are positive, and three of the tall negative words. Strange, isn't it, what one posting like this can do to our own minds? But, on the other hand it's good for us to ponder. I like the idea of this, how about doing one in a "friendly" sorta colour with lots of 'happy' words? I'd love to see that. Thanx Lori, for the great imagination you always have. Verena

I like the edit you added, Lori. I think it's actually good to be able to 'draw peoples thoughts out' in their comments. That makes our postings way more interesting. Giving real thoughts gives us all more to ponder on. Thanx again Lori, very kewl! V

Hey Lori... I immediately took to your title as a clever way to have an image entered into the frames' contest... without a physical frame! :o)

Another fine piece, Lori...Favs...

Another highly original idea, perfectly executed. Well done, Lori.

Very creative and original image Lori. Another great piece of art. Very nicely done and thanks for sharing.

Lovely work Lori, but I too agree with John and depression. How about what Les says: Turn it 90º and give it a portrait look....lol....I still can't get over the long comment from him!...hehe

Still thinking about the comments but this is very original as is all your work.

Rednecks like me could think of a few other choice words to throw in there, but I ain't a gonna say 'em. LOL. Beautiful work, Lori.

If you go to the library, check out those oversized books about fine art, what my fellow art students in college called "weight training" because of their size and heft, you will discover that a great many of the renaissance painters portraiture was of reclining women. They knew as we all do, that whether you're standing, sitting, laying flat on your back, or even draped over the back of the sofa, you can be happy or sad, tense or calm, angry or loving. The reason I suggested the fade-in and -out of the text is because our emotions have those same qualities, and that's precisely because those emotions are our frame of mind -- changeable and adjustable -- regardless if we stand straight or hang upside down from the shower curtain like a vampire. If not, what would psychologists and psychiatrists do with all of us human chameleons? Your original idea is terrific, your "stained-glass" illustration is beautiful, and the title is perfect. Congratulations, my talented friend, you have a winner here and it's really all you... I just gave you some support.

Outstanding creation Lori & nicely executed. I especially like the meaning behind it & I think the girls expression could be any one of those emotions. I like the faded out fonts which I believe adds alot to the composition & this would make a wonderful contest entry. Kudo's!!!

I wonder what she is looking at? I know it can be so easy to dwell on the negative, and it seems to me that your subject is lost in their thoughts.

Excellent work here!

WOW Lori, this would absolutely be a fabulous batik. Love this
