Artist's Comments

Experimenting with oil and Photoshop. Base is an older oil painting (Martyrdom). Added paint, colours and textures in Photoshop. Renamed it.

I'm quite pleased with the new result.

FULL VIEW and thanks for viewing!

From the Suggester: "Martyr Dame by ~ayle moved me to tears. The depth of emotion in this painting, is so beautifully subtle. There are no tears...but the woman has such a poignant melancholy. The shading on her eyelids, cheeks and neck gives us a true sense of the depth of despair within this martyr. It conveys both her strength and vulnerability brilliantly. The warm gold tones around her face show us her beauty and inner goodness and the well-placed darker colors are used to frame her majestically...Of course the title is also very clever. I love this piece and put it into my wish-list immediately!" (Suggested by `Sophquest and Featured by ^JunkbyJen)

worth the full view!
she is quite emotionally riveting, a pleasure to be haunted by.
excellent sense of warmth matching the texture of digital paint and canvas, it compliments but does not fade into the expression - gives an overall glow that brings this phantom to life.
mastery of your element, in my recognition!

It takes common sense & decency to do anything that stands out as unique.

There is so much depth of emotion in this. It tugs at me.

The first thing I was going to say is the texturing on this is incredible and gives it such life, but then it was in Digital...Really one beautiful painting with some lovely rustic tones! Excellent piece and congratulations on the DD! :D
