Artist's Comments

This is my entry for the Talking In Silence Contest [link] being held by Deadlybuterfly [link]

I believe that the hardest burdens we bear are those we carry in silence. Often the deepest pain is the ones we have the most difficulty voicing.

This image is my way of conveying that Silent Burden ... held deep in the soul; the light that shines from within even when the burden is almost too much to bear...and the reaching out to the world, perhaps hoping that someone will notice and listen.

... I am not sure where this vision came from but it was very organic ... it just grew out of the original image by Lockstock and the theme for the contest.

The landscape [link] for the background is stock from Phantompanther-stock

:iconphantompanther-stock:

The two figures (and the base for the whole image) were created from a lovely stock image [link] by the incredibly talented model and stock provider Lockstock.

:iconlockstock:

The Sky, planet, and Soul extension are my own creations.

Hope you enjoy :glomp:

Your thoughts and inspiration behind this piece are so relevant for us all.

Another stunning creation Nancie. I personally think that your work of late has reached a whole new level. Keep it up and good luck in the comp:)

Thank you ... one of the things that has drawn me to dA (no pun intended) is that people seem less afraid to share their concerns and pain. All too often people feel that being "strong" means being silent.

Although I know intellectually that many, many people feel this way it is hard sometimes to not feel alone ... it is comments like yours that help to prove those feelings wrong! :glomp:

The tempest tangled in her hair
And in his dreams she’d always be
A bitter wind called Tragedy

Your image was truly the inspiration for this ... it really spoke to me of an inner need and pain, a pulling into oneself while closing out the world. THANK YOU!

Thank you ... I wasn't sure if it was too simple but every time I tried it with a more "involved" background it just didn't work. I really appreciate the comments and even more so when I am "unsure" of an image!
