I find your images so beautiful. I am fascinated with that sort of ghostly look, and have been playing around trying to get that ghostly sort of image. I have recently been given a blogger award and must pass it along to other deserving recipients. I would like to share it with you - if you choose to visit my blog you will see the award and its guidelines. Olivia
i don't really think anything wrong of people calling them sad, and definitely see their point. i'm more just fascinated by the interpretations, it's why i do the work with figures and symbolism, all i want is that emotional response. and i love that such a simple idea of just making someone float can create such different responses. thank you all.
I used to dream of floating just like that so often as a child and loved to looking down on the houses and the forest and the sea. This lovely image makes me feel peaceful and serene. It's really beautiful and I love the name too!
I am an oil painter living in Portland, Oregon with my husband and two little children. I recieved my BA in fine arts from the University of Oregon, studied watercolor in Siena, Italy and oil painting and print making at the Chautauqua Institute in New York. I have been painting professionally since graduating in 2000.
Current obsessions include imaginary friends, snow, little mammals, folklore, superstitions, fortunetelling, wildflowers, wallpaper, cloudy landscapes, the colors of faded polaroids, and other peoples family snapshots.

People are just jealous. They look happy enough to me. Floating is very relaxing.
This is a very nice piece. Cloud walking or floating. Lovely.
I don't think 'sad' I'd say wistful and I love it!
Ooooh, this is beautiful. I really love your work. Free and whimsical people. Gorgeous.

I love that floating in clouds thing you've got going on......I'd like to be able to float above it all in a lovely red dress.
Dear Amanda, you have no idea how deeply your art inspired me to finally get my own art going. Thank You!
