Description She passed hours to order her rebel red hair; he took a bath and shaved carefully.
He asked her brother to lend him the boots; she borrowed the golden badge from her granny.
They met on the hill, behind the church, on a sunny sunday after the Easter Holy Celebration.

Aunt Judy said: "There's no good in a son of a Lighthouse keeper."

DETAIL [link]
Pencil on paper, Painter Classic, The Dubliners (only they fault if I made such an image...)
Lately I'm finishing a lot of things that was waiting. Of this one I lost a file when my pc broke, about half the work I think. I'm glad it's finished!

Oh my god! He looks just like a guy I knew named Thom from somewhere in England. long hair and everything. Except for the clothes. Gorgeous. I love the little excerpt/description you gave with it. It it from a book?

Hehhee, If you liked him a lot, I wish you to re-encounter him and a beautiful romantic and simple start as once used to be, sometimes.

The story is what I had in mind when I was drawing it, I like to imagine stories when it comes to painting a piece, it helps me to mantain the mood

So glad you like it, thanks!

htjela sam da osjecaj u slici bude njezan, topao, kako samo jednostavne stvari mogu biti. Kako bih zeljela da je ljubav tako jednostavna!

It's something wonderful, your digital work looks like traditional painting. I love all in it - description and illustration. You put life into them. She looks like "typical" Irish girl in mind of foreigner . And my favourite details are: her golden scarf (mm I didn't know how to call it) and a bouquet - perfect combination of field flowers - something what probably every girl would like to get. .
It's my favourite for today.

Thank you dienre
I was thinking of how much things can be simple, and a simple rappresentation of simple people with complex feelings that can change the way you look to a person. i giggled all the time I drawed it
The irish touch is a Dubliners fault

I really love this illustration, the softness which emanates from it, their expression...
The small text is very simple, ...but it describes marvelously this feeling... of the first date.

They make me also think, I acknowledge it, to two of my characters, I imagine really their first meeting like this.

Bas mi je drago, neki put vidim online ljude koji kazu da su iz Bosne, Slovenie, Srbije ili Hrvatske, ali onda se sale...neznam kako se oni zamisle nase nacije, ali Kusturica nije puno pomogao, misle da smo svi rom naselja...
Now it is, hope the New year started well!!

Ja sam iz Opatije, na Kvarneru, iz hrvatske, ali vec zivim 16 godina u Italiji. Na srecu sam u sat vremena doma, jer zivim u Trstu.
Ne brini se, meni se cesto dogadalo, u fazama, da zaboravim rijeci, ali ako s nekim govoris svaki dan ti pomogne da ne dobijes strani naglasak

Od kad je euro u Italiji su place iste ali sve kosta vise i vise, a Berlusconi radi takve gluposti da necu ni da mislim.
U hrvatskoj je skoro u italiji, samo se ljudi uvjek zale da nema posla, a nikome se neda raditi...pravi balkanci
Place su nize, ali i zivot kosta manje.
