Love the painting. I was actually thinking of doing somthing similar, i have my mock gcse tomorrow and seeing this really reassured me. I think it gave me a sense of what the person was thnking and feeling. What you see isn't what it really seems-in terms of feelings. I think it looks brill. Wow. Love the painting.

I saw a mossy green place with stuff hanging down like green cobwebs and inside an older magical woman. I felt that there is a lot of pain to heal. Love, Birgit Angela,

I wanted to touch it. I wanted to see if the paint felt the way it looked. While I love all the little things on the table, I'm very curious about the images of faces in the mirror. <i>Una shamana?</i> Angela,

And the style reminds me of Diego Rivera. I respond to the little "still life" on the table almost more than the figure. But I find the difference between the two versions of her intriguing. I want to gently question your use of the eye in the hand, as it is a somewhat well worn image/symbol from several Asian and Latin American cultures. Are we to read it literally or does it have more personal meaning to you? If you don't want to say, that's okay too. I am just curious what it means to you here and of course when you say something tantalizing about special powers, I want more information!! Angela,

While my meanings are probably not the same as yours (based on your statement on your blog) I read a lot into it that applies to my situation also and like it very much.
