Gift for my martial arts teacher, Ricki, as a "swift recovery" present. She just under went hip replacement surgery and is doing quite well.
She's been a very big inspiration to me through out most of my life and one of the reasons I went back to the study of the martial arts.
<edit>
Finally was able to present the painting to her two days after she got out of the hospital. She absolutely loved it but is having a bit of a dilemma as to where to hang it.
</edit>
I'm sure you can see one of the many meanings in the painting
I'll post detail shots if anyone's interested.
Medium: Oil on canvas Time: atleast 9 hours
Not sure what category this painting falls under. If anyone has a better idea, drop a note.
This is absolutly beautiful, such detail i'm just blown away, would make a killer tatoo lol. Deff a

what?! only one comment?! good lord - people must be blind This is beyond description - the intricacy here is so fantastic and the fading colors in the background make the black image pop out that much more. I just love it - there's nothing else i can say lol - every part of it...especially the designs playing in between the lines like intricate spider webs. just, wow.
i'm suprised nobody said anything eaither, its absolutly beautiful

HOLY CRUD, this was done with paint?? Now that's what I call damn impressive! This is one of the most unique phoenix designs I've encountered here on DA, and so elaborate as well... *stares* the intricate swirls and details are incredible, and there's no way in hell I could attain the right artistic vision (or patience ) to design a phoenix in this way. Everything about it is beautiful, but I'm especially drawn to the head profile which looks so regal! ^.^ This was a very thoughtful gift as well, and your teacher is very lucky to be able to display a phoenix in her home! (Hee hee, I'd have no trouble deciding where to put it - right over my bed! ) Gorgeous stuff, and you've definitely done the phoenix incredible justice!

Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.
This is absolutely beautiful. Very nice interpretation of the Pheonix, I love your style. And the colors are exceptionally beautiful too! You painted the pheonix with oils too?! That's amazing. I love all the details. +fav definately!
