There is a genius to your write, but greater the genius in your looking ... one feels almost a reverence here ... great as usual

That is a perfect poem for the painting. Once again, you have said so much with so few words. You are very talented. (I suppose that you know that already, but I also suppose that it is nice to hear. So, it's an excellent choice of words.) Thank for your comment on my poems. Always, Dane

Hauntingly sad, those eyes. Perfect poem for the portrait. Such talent to capture the inside of a person on the outside. Such talent to make us actually hear what I imagine to be her hopeless sighs, in your poem. Love, Shar

This entire piece is great..the sadness coming from her eyes so strongly that it would have an effect on the one looking at it..very strong.
