Thank you everyone. ^_____^

Food and Drugs,

Thank you. Actually this is not a religious art. LOL I borrow the symbolism from the mythology of Lady Justice. She is represented by a sword and balance. The sword design in this painting is adapted from the style during the Crusades, when the sword is designed like a cross. But in this painting, it's not intended as a religion symbol. The design of this painting is my interpretation of the historic origin of Justitia - combination of classic Greek/Roman mythology, which later on adapted/ reinterpreted centuries later ... with the influences of Christianary

Your weblog is fine. I simply need to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing method too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I feel is admittedly important. I dont know if you happen to didnt suppose that your phrases may hold everyones attention, however you have been wrong. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good source like this.

Glorious info here. This interesting put up made me smile. Perhaps should you throw in a few footage it'll make the whole thing extra interesting. Anyway, in my language, there are not much good supply like this.

I've to say, I dont know if its the clashing colors or the dangerous grammar, however this weblog is hideous! I mean, I dont need to sound like a know-it-all or something, but might you could have possibly put a little bit more effort into this subject. Its really attention-grabbing, however you dont signify it nicely in any respect, man. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good supply like this.

Have you ever considered including a little bit bit more than simply your ideas? I imply, what you say is essential and everything. However its obtained no punch, no pop! Maybe should you added a pic or two, a video? You may have such a extra highly effective weblog if you let folks SEE what youre speaking about instead of simply studying it. Anyway, in my language, there will not be much good supply like this.

religious knowledge here. It was interesting, until I smiled. Maybe I should throw the material will make a little extra something that all the entertaining. Yet, in my language, there is nothing better to offer it.
