Artist's Comments

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.

Thank you so much for the comment! *can I give you a hug?* I was kinda dissapointed that no one had said anything about it.
:icondelightfuldes:
what?! only one comment?! good lord - people must be blind :roll: 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.
:iconburntpheonix:

HOLY CRUD, this was done with paint?? :faint: :faint: Now that's what I call damn impressive! :clap: :clap: 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 XD) to design a phoenix in this way. :D 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! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

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. :D

What kind of camouflage is this, black and white?
Hiding in an Oreo factory? Could be!
That's just another chapter in the ominous saga of the panda.
