Hello Geoffrey! Strangely enough, I'm never aware of the symbolism in my pictures ;-) I always like it when other people explain it to me :-D Thanks for the comment!

Great to see you, Trudy and Catherine, and thanks ever so much for your great comments! So happy you appreciate all my little details!

Then that makes your work all the more fascinating. Someone someday will do their doctoral thesis on the semiotics of Clay, but not me. I still need a weatherman to know the way the wind blows.
Absolutely gorgeous work, Judith! I love the red of her coat against the cool tones. The mood is palpable... so moving. The raindrops just send this piece over the top. I am in awe.
I was just biding time until Jacqueline weighed in so I could write "what she said!"

So happy you like the red, Jacqueline! That's my newest pastel stick acquisition and I can't get enough of it. I did the raindrops with white ink and a brush, an experiment from a while back. Thanks for the lovely feedback!

You are the greatest, Geoffrey!!! :-D

Oh das mag ich ganz besonders! Das Rot des Mantels gefällt mir supergut, die Regentropfen, die ganze Atmosphäre, die das Bild vermittelt finde ich toll gelungen! Stimmt mich irgendwie herbstlich ein. Der Fisch unterm Arm ist klasse! :-)
:) @ Geoffrey. I could really write at length about Judith's work . I see so much meaning in each piece and it is such a joyful challenge to (attempt to) interpret it.
And thanks, for sharing the raindrop technique - I was trying to figure out how you managed to do that!

Hallo Angela: ja, das Rot ist eine neue Pastellkreide. Normalerweise verwende ich ja rot nicht so oft, aber das hier gefällt mir sehr. Schön, dass Dich das Bild herbstlich stimmt. Ich liebe den Herbst (und den Winter). Danke für Deinen tollen Kommentar!
I adore you art dear Judith....so much detail and each piece tells a story. Love the hair! beautiful as always xxx

@Jacqueline: I'm always amazed at how you interpret my pictures! I just sit down and draw them :-) Thanks for always taking the time to write such thoughtful comments!

Hello, ingz! Great to see you and thanks ever so much for the kind comment!
Sharon Turner commented on September 17, 2012 7:45am
so so wonderful!
Judith Clay commented on September 17, 2012 7:46am
@Jacqueline, I completely agree and I look forward to reading more from you on that score. No need to involve that pesky Freud with all his hang-ups and wild theories. I only wish my dreams looked as gorgeous as Judith's work.

Na das freut mich aber, Steffi! Am Hamburger Hafen war ich auch schon mal, und da war es sehr schön! Liebe Grüße auch an Dich!

@Geoffrey and Jacqueline: I guess I'll just lean back, put up my feet and wait for that 500 page thesis on my work written by Jacqueline and approved by Geoffrey :-D
First of all Judith, this is gorgeous! I too love the red coat and the rain! Oh, and the fish! Did anyone mention the fish yet? I'll bet that's symbolic of "plenty". So she's going on a long voyage, but will not be hungry while she travels or when she gets there. (My daughter just walked in and happily recognized your work from the ones I just framed btw. Recognition is high praise from a young teen.) Seriously, it's all been said beautifully, so I'll just add that I love it!
Judith Clay commented on September 17, 2012 8:29am
Hey, Meg! Really great to see you, and thanks for taking the time to write such a great comment! I figured you'd like the fish ;-) And I like your interpretation... and wow on the recognition compliment from your daughter!!! That means a lot! Wish you a great week!
Haha, am I the only one who wants to see that she is going to set the fish free ;-)? Judith, this is such a marvelous new work!!! I love the colours and all the terrific details so much! xx
Judith Clay commented on September 17, 2012 9:06am
Yes, Iris, I think you are! But that's okay; I love your idea! She's down at the harbor to let the fish go :-D So happy you like the picture, Iris!
I love the fairy tale life you create in your art! This is delightful! She's bigger than life itself...carrying her fish on the water's edge with her big hair!! Awww, so cute! ♥
Beautifully done. Love how you choose colors and clothing for your characters. The chestnut hair and red coat are gorgeous. She is also quite tall judging from the boat!
