Comment from trishgoody


Very fascinating notes, thank you for sharing that, it gives credence and meaning to this very lovely artwork. It's funny I have never been afraid or spooked by spiders not even the big ones that often come inside. So many men have arcana phobia , now I can see why especially for the Japanese, entrapment no less!
What you have depicted in this piece is a wonderful visual interpretation of Aranche's magic and the more I look , the more I applaud you for your cleverness of application, design and concept. Great piece, good luck for the contest!

    Thank you! I appreciate your encouraging review very much. I was never afraid of spiders either. I like them. They eat flies and mosquito.
Comment from shoregrass


Very apt for the contest. It is very well done, but I would have liked it more without the bugs just for it fantasy factor.

    Thank you very much for your kind review. The picture is not possible without the bugs[spiders]. Aranche is a spider woman from Greek Mythology. The small spiders are her children. The theme for the contest is Spiders.

Tp put her in the center of a flower like this was a bit of genius on your part! I only wish I had not used all my sixes already! The light quality makes this jump out, and the bit of magical swils adds a nice feel. I of cousrse know who this is, your work, and your view on life is distinctive! Donkeyoatey

    Thank you very much. Who ask for stars getting reviews like yours? It seems I cannot hide. You are not the only, who caught me. Three others did before. XXX LOL
Comment from helvi2



There are SO many things I like about this! Love how you added a sparkling trace of a spider within. I can see a bit of the web too.I also LOVE the flowing lines of Aranche's silken gown. You've made this image lovely and delicate. Great use of colors expessing the web of the spider woman, I think you have a VERY original entry for the contest. The artistry is simply super!

A six without question!
Good Luck in the Contest!

Comment from MinoYasue


I know who the artist is for this work.

It is amazing to see something this beautiful out of the spider. The color is so soft and flows so magical. The lighting creates fairly tale like magic.

Good luck in the contest, my friend.

Thank you for sharing.

Outstanding illustration for a fascinating story. The movement and grace I see in this image are inspiring and lovely. The colors are ephemeral and well chosen. Excellent work. cainse
