This is quite striking and unique. I looked at some of your other pieces. I like your style a lot and added your site to my IF RSS feed.

Wow! This is definitely one that hits my instant-fave list! Phshew!

Hard, bold line. Very sensual treatment of the gal in the shower. And the water -- both line and colour -- is really very potent. She's being massaged by her shower.

At the same time, the blueness suggests cold, loneliness, bleakness. So while the power of the shower is vast and apparent, it could also be something negative.

Maybe this woman is washing away tears?

Lovely pic.

PS: I'm printing out the selection you made, plus one or two more. Check your email.

This is excellent in so many ways...the color, the mood, the linework, the various interpretive possibilities... I think this might be my favorite of yours so far. Wonderful work!

This is amazing! This is an image, which appeal to think - what is the story behind?

Your choice of colours is genial, underlines the atmosphere: blue, green, black: sad, death, crime?
the most unusual water is all around her, she will wash it away!

This is great!

Is it just me or is the water actually spider-web? This is not a style I usual like that much, but it is very intriguing nonetheless. Very well done and I have to agree with some other comments on the atmosphere that has been created here. Impressive overall.

Wow, this knocks me out with it's sheer narrative dexterity! The sense of contradiction - a dark, smothering, muddy looking shower - is only the beginning. What an accomplished composition and technique - how did you make this?

I love your line work and color. I like how she is allowing herself to become consumed by the water.

WHOA, there's something very Geiger about this; the colours and heavy tenticle-like lines. Amazing work!

thanks for the comments! much appreciated.

ian - i put a layer of oil pastel down first and then acrylics over the top, so i could scratch in and get that textured look for the background. theres black permanent marker on the top too, to get that dense darkness.
