Thank you I appreciate you took the time to tell me what you liked about it. The painting was purposefully built around that contrast, so I'm glad it worked.

The name is not a reference to the Apocalyptica song, though I know it and like it. "Ruska" is a Finnish word that refers to the time in autumn when leaves turn red. You see, I occasionally show off with my very limited knowledge of Finnish

I can not quite figure its meaning, though this picture has a great appeal. The water colours created something truely enjoyable soft and interesting there.

The blue on her eyes contrast so well against the rest of the image... Oh it is so lovely <3

This is both inspiring and emotional. I love how you used the water color to make it look flowey (?) and added the hard line to balance it. It reminds me of those old japanese water color scenary paintings. My favorite has to be the color splash of blue that stands out from the rest of the drawing, its a great way to balance those warm shades and it makes your eye travel throughout the piece.

Thank you! Yes, for once I was inspired with the contrast in one of my paintings. You can't go wrong with orange and blue

GreenSprite In reply to PoetryMan1 [2010-01-13 22:13:48 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I guess the upside down face wasn't such a good idea. When I show the painting to people in real life, they always hold it upside down first. Pisses me off
Thank you!

even if is a know concept (seassons and woman) I think that you create a new one, diferent from any other I have seen.
I really like your work.

GreenSprite In reply to karinpa [2010-01-13 22:00:02 +0000 UTC]

It wasn't my intention to illustrate autumn as a woman (in fact, the face is a selfportrait and I hate autumn ). I just played around with colors and shapes
Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it.

BTW you look really nice.

I wasn't thinking that far, but I like the fact that you managed to find a meaning for it. I was just like "I feel like drawing autumn trees and splash some colors around the page"

DimMartin [2009-12-19 00:34:18 +0000 UTC]

Hmm I'm trying to figure out which way this started. I'm betting its from the portrait

In any case, the composition came out very original and the mood&colors blend nicely.

GreenSprite In reply to DimMartin [2009-12-19 15:10:58 +0000 UTC]

I can't remember, but usually I do start with whatever human's in the drawing. However this wasn't planned out at all. I'm really glad you like it

Interesanta perspectiva, culorile sunt foarte placut imprastiate (si la propriu si la figurat) pe toata imaginea.
