This painting was done as part of an artist's challenge that several of the AW artists participated in. The Challenge was to paint your own interpretation of the title "Beauty and the Beast" This painting represents the person that is 2-faced or jealous. The person that is outwardly sweet all the while hiding their true hateful feelings.

philosophic. I like it. And the shadows too. It can be about you.Or about the moment you felt when you made it. InspirationLeroy Drumm 22 Dec 2005

Yes Clare,that is outwardly sweet all the while hiding their true hateful feelings.But is it possible to hide permanently by that person?Anyway that person may find beauty and jelousy always together,but the beauty will be the winner....Ashok Nayak(Delhi,INDIA)Emily Reed 18 Dec 2005

Beautiful woman with her jealousy visible in her mind even though there's a smile on her face. I love what you did with her hair and the color of envy is a great touch.Pepita Selles 18 Dec 2005
