Description After John Waterhouse, although this is seriously lacking in disaster to be his. We'll say the cup is poisoned. >.>

For =CoRayBee for reasons that should be obvious. (But aren't always...I am obtuse)



All my own resources, though I doubt anyone cares.
*TheArcher777 is the model.

I nearly added faeries, but I'm currently mad at faeries. No, I don't want to talk about it.

They took Bill's contact lenses. And the solution out of his contact case. Wiped it dry. There is seriously no explanation; we looked EVERYWHERE.

Lovely. Strong pose; very interesting angle and tension in her arms.

Have your faeries call my faeries. They'll fix the problem. ;D

Absolutely beautiful, on all counts.

(We'll let the Faerie thing pass. I'm sure there's a good reason and I often feel that way myself ).

They are causing much mischief in my household. Or...something is...something small and filled with mischief that isn't either of my cats. It's very perplexing. Cheers!

I love the texture and the moodiness. Awesome job! Aww, don't stay mad at the faeries!

As soon as they return Bill's contact lenses from the case from whence they were lens-napped, we'll be cool. Time for offerings of cake I think...

Oh no... That wasn't a very nice thing for them to take! Yeah, I'd leave them a little something.

Amazing - you've taken a superb base photo with such a great pose and style and then the use of textures - you have really mastered those now - this had better be a print...
(oh, and why is there only one emote to be used for mood - i want love and wow....)

Lindowyn In reply to Amazonofexeter [2008-12-30 08:06:24 +0000 UTC]

I guess dA doesn't want an emote party going on. I've been experimenting with textures for far too long methinks. I really wish I could get back to painting, but I'm too poor for paint . Hence the painting..ish...photographs.

I like the textures you used here. They really help lend to the Waterhouse feel of the picture. You should do a whole series of these!

The faeries.....O.O

I love the old styles and wish I could do half as well as they did in a painting, but photoshop is all the paint I have to work with. Thanks so much!

*ggl* I love the comment about Waterhouse. He's one of my favourite artists and I think you've managed to capture the feeling of his work. And nah, doesn't need fairies. I really like your work with textures too. Why don't mine turn out like that?!?

Lindowyn In reply to Renilicious [2008-12-30 08:01:51 +0000 UTC]

I have a living room decorated with Waterhouse's work. I'm so in love with everything his paintings have to say. There's a lot of intrigue that I haven't seen many modern artists capture, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. Have you tried texture work? I can give you the one I used if it helps any.

Renilicious In reply to Lindowyn [2008-12-30 09:16:14 +0000 UTC]

I've tried but I can't quite get it to work for me. If you could point me in the direction of the texture you used, I'd be grateful. And Waterhouse is my hero of art. He's a master illustrator of the classic tales, myths and legends. My favourite is "Boreas" and of course all the Shallott paintings too.

It's the faeries' loss, I say.

So wonderfully emotive, so full of texture and attention to detail...it's gorgeous.

My socks- you rock them.

I feel bad--it is likely that by the end of this year you will have many me-prints and not enough bathrooms to hide them in.

Well, damn. I'll just have to move to a bigger bathroom then.

Reverie is such a beautiful word!!
And the picture is really great too!! The colors and the melancholy and emptiness they carry are just wonderfully used in this shot!! It's a lovely picture!

Wow.. thank you so much for this comment. It isn't often people mention -why- they like a picture, just that they do. So thank you so much!
