This is intriguing. Caught my attention.

These series of works are amazing Annette, they are so expressive, I believe that we may not be able to change the past, but its ripples can change our future. If we are ever to be free we must not let the past taint our future. I love this work because it has a very strong message behind it. very thought provoking Annette, Truly excellent work my friend.

David Holcombe 22 Sep 2007

Lots of atmosphere here. The message rings true. It makes me think of Orpheus and Euridyce. He looks back, just once, and all his efforts were in vain. The Greeks really understood a thing or two.

Yes, we shouldn't look back for more than a quick glance, Annette. But truly the past has day by day, brick by brick, made us what we are today. ;) This has so many great colors and textures---and isn't that a bird (Phoenix?) I see on that branch?
