You will probably see a lot of art from me this summer. I have the summer off and find it brings me a small amount of peace to lose myself in painting.

Tools used:
Wacom Intuous3
PSP12
Coffee
*I experimented a lot with textures I made. I still need a lot of work on hair. I find myself mostly mouse painting it with some strands added with my tablet. The effect isn't as nice as I would like. I'm so detail oriented that it drives me crazy. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Thank you, Tammara. Your picture is growing on me as I keep returning to it, and I now find it is the nearest anyone has got to depicting Helen,
ενθ'ιδον Αργειην Ελενην, ης εινεκα πολλα
Αργειοι Τρωες τε θεων ιοτητι μογησαν
A redhead wreaks the right magic for the Woman of Fate: Helen wasn't a simpering minx as she's often shown. Your picture is surely out of true dreams!
