May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.

I usually try not to fuss too much with my paintings. I just like to let them happen whether it be good, bad or indifferent. This one was a bit of an exception. I had intentions of making her blanket/coat pretty and bright but every time I looked at her in this way it wasn't working for me so I decided to take a bit of a breather. After an occasional quick peak over the last few weeks I felt that the coat should be plain and I should shift my focus to her face. She spoke to me in this way. I'm not quite sure if I'm done yet but she feels better already. : ))

OMG Manon, this one is awesome!
The vibrancy of her heart is shining right through that goat. Well done.
Now, she has something more to show, something more to shed, something more to reveal, for real.
Cheers!
I like them both!
The plain coat and the painted face is beautiful! The other is gorgeous too but the first evokes a Native American flair. Love it.
Les deux ont leur propre personnalité et me touchent énormément... On peut y lire dans chacune d'elles un ressenti différent. J'aime l'intensité de son regard... Ensuite je pense que chacun de nous peut se les approprier et en faire sa propre interprétation. Très belles oeuvres Manon.
Gros bisous.
Both are wonderful, but I like the 2nd one it reminds me of pure golden happiness.xo
I'm glad you decided to work on her a bit more. She shows so much more soul now. Love the "feel" of her. :)
Hi Manon,
Her gaze is so intense I can see why you felt the need not to compete! I also love her lips!! xo
Wow!!! very powerful piece! Love it
i really love to look at her.
Its always interesting to see where we end up in a painting. Love the both changes and all~ Theresa
beautiful Manon :)
I rather like the bright coat, Manon. In fact, I think I'd wear that coat 't'were it mine.
She is gorgeous!! I like them both but I see the difference in her eyes! Love her! :)
So powerful and Beautiful,I like them both.
Isn't it great how the same expression in her face can take on a completely different meaning! Wow! Very cool paintings.
I do like the experimentation. It does create for imaginations of course the potential for more interesting stories.
The emphasis on her face is terrific - she's beautiful.
i love the raw emotion coming out in your work....and love this with the plain against her gorgeous, provocative face....your work gets better and better. xoxo
Aaaahhhhhh! She is sad, happy, sad, happy... an artist has the power to create and present any emotion. You have that great gift Manon. How are you? I have been so busy and bored at the same time. It's summer and so my work picks up. I am once again assigned to a very big project and while I have to be thankful, I also lament the pain in my neck from stress. So glad to be painting again though. Have a wonderful weekend. Tsup!!!
She's looking awesome. Love the red and blue on her face, real passion!
wow manon!
she is so powerful!
i love her transormation and how you listen to what she is saying!
Well Manon, you have turned this one into something enigmatic, soulful and
just plain animal. Amazing what red and woad will do to a woman!
This is magnificent. I think you have opened a door here. I'm steppin' through!
Manon:
The same base...two completely different feelings. I love the intensity of the red streaking down her face.

I actually love the colorful coat. The other one is very sad to me. :)
How did I miss this one?
You knew I would love it,,
Yes the colors are stunning,,she is speaking of feeling,,
and I love the quote... so much,,

I think a good artist touches another soul... without knowing it.. and you touch mine.
