4th in a series of human attitudes that I am completing. 44"x44" oil on canvas completed in approximately 129 hours... I love to hear your interpretations of my abstracts so please take your time and tell me what this painting says to you. This image has been sensored - hense the odd looking Sphere over the breast... I am sure you can imagine :o) This painting symbolizes the attitude of confidence... She stands before the world naked and vulnerable and does it without fear or aprehension. She holds her confidence in her hands as a light that guides her through life. Because she is so confident, she achieves much in her life and is in harmony with life... Life is symbolized with the Spheres that are constantly in motion around her and around us all. The Flowing colors show the liquididy of life and the passion that is present in us all. The large Orange Sphere on the left represents the confidence of a person that is not being nurtured. The way it is cradled within the liguid show how fragile one's confidence or self esteme is,,, it is sitting in space to show that there is no limit to what one can achieve with the support and encouragement of those around them. I chose a naked form because we are all most vulnerable in that state... I hope you enjoyed reading and viewing... This painting will be available for sale at www.clarerowley.com in Giclee's and limited edition prints very soon. Contact the artist to purchase Original $20,000

Iknow what this sybolizes. I have viewed art and tried to figure what it means and I have finally realized that you need to get into the head of the artist. But to do that you need to know the artist and see the passion! This is very intimate and has many meanings. Your friend Jeffery.Arnel Sarmiento 16 Dec 2005

Very sensitive and amourous Work! Your colors are so lovely. Anusual combination of chastity and sensuality.Ebyuu Vey 16 Nov 2005
Awesome oil painting! My take? She is a nymph of a higher order. Either a Nymph of Wind whose job is to help spread the bounty of pollen, or perhaps a Sea Nymph in charge of a collection of pearls forbidden to humans. Either way she has her loyal subjects who revel in her power and obey her as they must. :o)Loredana 15 Nov 2005

#@&y! ahh suki suki very nice i really like the light. it glows. it seems to illustrate the cosmic layers or fabrics of the universe.stephanie atlee 09 Nov 2005
I do love this very much...nice work...sorry they made you cover up...strong sense of freedom and imagination in this piece...connection to the universeDeborah Martin 09 Nov 2005
Beautiful Work Flowing with meaning! I feel her Nudity represents here pure honesty with herself.....and to God....her holding the light feels like it represents her connection to her higher Self....Perhaps the 4 faces might represent a more human perspective.....Due to the darkness directly around her, this may represent a more earthy state but her heart is focused on the divine light above....I love her long flowing hair....this might suggest that she is flowing with whatever life brings her.....Excellent Work!!!!Cristina Marsi 09 Nov 2005

Wicked!!! Thats all I can say!! 10+Pat Abbott 08 Nov 2005
Beautiful flow of colors and patterns. I see a female soul standing naked, there is nothing she can hide. Every thought and every act recorded, standing before the Lords Of Karma. Her higher self is represented by the glowing golden orb above her head.Bluemoonshadow 08 Nov 2005

beautiful, Clare. To me it has something like surrender and a lot of vibrancy and joy in lifeVivian Allen 08 Nov 2005
Beautiful flow and paterns of color, and I love her swirling long hair. I get the impression that she's bathing in a liquid, bubble filled astral plane with a piece of star lighting and warming her way. She seems oblivious to her company.
