It was fascinating reading some of the well worded comments of others that have gazed upon this incredible work, Christel. I cannot help to agree whole heartedly with them. Eva was so right about you!......fav / like

Your portrait of Callas is so alive! The eyes seem to hold great sadness and pain, but I feel her power too. Marvelous interpretation of this great diva. F/L++

Haha, Jennifer... now ... that IS great to hear!! If I gave you that "little push" you needed, that`s the greatest compliment to my work! Go, go, get your brushes out!! Thank you so much, have a great Friday
Sarah Rachel
Maria Callas!!!!!! She is the most amazing Opera singer of all time!!!! Her version of Ave Maria just brings me to tears every time. I'm so happy to see this! I've created a few of her myself but I think yours is better! You are very talented. I love this captured emotion. Special L/F
Christel Roelandt replied:
Yes, to me too I find Callas the greatest, they try to convince me that there are others with much purer voices, but who wants perfect purity? It`s all in that vulnerability, in that croak, in that total fragility so openly and generously displayed and "thrown out" there, like in all arts, right?! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and support, Sarah. Have a great weekend. Christel.
Callan Percy

John Houseman
Looks like sympathy to me. Very provocative.
Christel Roelandt replied:
Yes, might be a bit of that too, there`s seldom just one feeling expressed in eyes, isn`t there? Thank you so much for your kind words, John. Happy weekend, Christel.
