Last year this had less energy, no reds and a feeling to me of my power being lost.... i spent a day trying hard to update the feeling of whats inside me. It was a group project last year in my art group. Acrylic and now inks, on box canvas...maybe this will be my yearly updating painting till the end.... : ) PS...total time spent 3 weeks time (so far)

Hey Sher Gal , It's always hardest to get "YOU" right ! LOL :) we are hardest on ourselves here . a real representation is a difficult proposition for anyone attempting it . don't lament that you can't get it the way you see it . noone will know :) Peace and Love Laird HartleyGaye lee 29 Dec 2010

she stuning and I like the way the red floats around her..Andrew Diaz 07 Oct 2005
Sher, I know what you mean in the time an artist believes it is done and yet you feel that something special is missing still. This piece is complete in every way, love the depth, realistic beauty of your emotions.Leroy Drumm 07 Oct 2005
This is good! nice use of color line and the filing of motion! Captivating! Mysterious.Charles Oliver 06 Oct 2005
That's the 1st thing I thought of "energy". Love the energy of the paint and ink application. The flowing free movement. In the color I see some sultry heat but I also see iciness overcoming that heat. I realize this is a continuum. As the work evolves I'd like to see the reds emerge more as the heat overcomes the cold.Renata Cavanaugh 05 Oct 2005
Not confident???I find that so hard to believe knowing your fantstic work.....Iain Robinson 05 Oct 2005

Beautiful, powerful and dramatic, this is fantastic!William J. Griffith 04 Oct 2005
Awesome, Sher! The expression that always comes through in your work always amazes me. Really intense, but with a soft dreamy feel too. So cool.Nancy Woolweber 04 Oct 2005
A lot of emotion in this one....what are those...double D's? Grinning!Vivian Allen 04 Oct 2005
Wonderful play of color in your brush strokes! Very active and full of power, yet relaxed and so beautiful!Steen Djervad 04 Oct 2005
wonderful selfportrait,it look so light and fast, it does sounds like hard work though.Alan Kay 04 Oct 2005
Bold and beautiful, but also perhaps reconsidering her chosen role in life, reflecting on what was gained and what was lost. This is reinforced (at least for me, by the eyes focussed to the right, a neurolinguistically significant pose. I enjoy the play on light and dark, and the bold strokes.Lisa Hill 04 Oct 2005
love the bold colours, its such a statement! great work sherNicole Jahan 04 Oct 2005

APELES, Teena. Women warriors; adventures from history's greatest female fighters. (Live Girls series.) Seal Press. 143p. illus. bibliog. index. c2003. 1-58005-111-1. Queens, princesses, and heads of state mingle with pop culture icons such as Wonder Woman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and The Powerpuff Girls in this slim, eye-catching volume celebrating mighty women of history and legend. What did Joan of Arc's banner look like? Why did Lozen, Apache warrior women, never marry? What kind of clothes were worn by Boudicca, the Celtic Queen who led a bloody rebellion against Roman rule? Short entries with simple sentence structure combine with generous illustrations and colorful sidebars sure to attract browsers as well as reluctant readers in search of information for biography reports. Each feisty female merits a section called Vital Stats, which lists her full name, how you pronounce it, claim to fame, dates of birth and death, nationality, and cause of death. No flowery prose here, or complex historical analysis; just straightforward facts made fun. Well worth the price for any collection.

Very powerful work Sher! I think we all have polaries within...and stuggle with them. I see a good balance here of the blues and reds as well as with the light and shadow, strong strokes and whisps. I think it's a wonderful self portrait. Wouldnt the world be a better place if all did self reflection. Love this piece Sher.George Wallis 03 Oct 2005
lovely~Katie~ . 03 Oct 2005

Outstanding work in use of the media and creating this imageryReba McDonald 03 Oct 2005
A great strength shows through this image Sher.Susan Epps 03 Oct 2005
Hi Sher...I think the fact that you are looking out of the frame is quite significant here. The work itself is, of course, exceptional, but maybe the real warrior would stare us confidently in the eye !Richard Delay Sirs 03 Oct 2005
As usual Sher this is very impressive, bold, strident.. colors are rich and rewarding on the eye. I see no struggle of inner confidence here.. quite the opposite& this work speaks for you&. Please do more for us and post them & we are humbled by your talent&&&.Steph Salt 03 Oct 2005
That is a powerful image Sher, and very spikey? Surely that isn't how you feel? *Hugs!* I do like it though, it alsmost shouts, "danger don't touch!"pieter van gelderen 03 Oct 2005
