Wow...this is a beautiful painting. Especially appreciate the racoon and the water. I'm surprisingly left a little confused.
The message I have a vague grasp of, but the symbolism baffles me. A raccoon is a very 'beautiful' creature in my opinion, and...well. I won't bugger you too much, as you did start on it four years ago.
In any case, it's lovely and I envy your skill with texture.

I did not choose a raccoon not because I think it is an ugly creature. Raccoons are regarded as very mystical and smart beings in asian countries. People believed that they could do magic to transform themselves into something else, like humans.
Thank you very much your thought and opinion. I really appreciate it.
Yeah sure, I know her name.
I just hesitate to put up her name widely on the web. She might not want it to happen. She was a junior, so I do not think she is still at the college. But I will send you a note regarding the info.
I didn't think you'd think they were 'ugly.' Ah, I didn't think of that? With the magic leaf and all? I always found those legends enthralling. Thinking about it like that adds a new dimension to the painting for me, thanks!

this is amazing. great job on separating the reflection from the real world through using stronger colors. i love the details and colors on the ripples and the reflection of the column.
Incredibly beautiful work, surrealistic fantasy at its best. It's almost like two great paintings in one. I really like the use of colors and the flowers seem to add a lot to the picture. I like the symbolism too, not everything has to be obvious and straight-forward (especially in fantasy and surreal art).
