Description
Not too proud of this one; it seems so sloppy. I don't know, but I think I'm ready for some change.*astrals-stock thank you for the wonderful stock for the girl, I think I might have butchered her face though and her hand as well

I love the colours in this so much. And I love the moods your pieces evoke. I am in awe of your skill and patience.
One day I hope to be as fantastic an artist as you are.

This reminds me of a Waterhouse painting and a dream all rolled into one.

Waterhouse! Just yesterday I wandered into a gallery of waterhouse paintings and I've been looking for more ever since!

It has a kinda dreamy feel. I like it. Especially the water and lilypads, I have a lot of trouble w/ those 2 things, but I think you did really well on them.

Oh, wow...even though the colors are dark and mysterious, there's such a special magic to this piece that only your style could bring out. This certainly feels like a fairytale book.

Oh, I don't think it's sloppy... I think it's very smoky and ethereal! I love the way you create the atmospheres in your pictures. They always look magical in an old way. I think of old fairy tales every time I look at them. ^^

It's really cool. I especially like the lilly pads. I see what you mean by "sloppy," I would never have looked at this and thought sloppy to myself. Your other works are more crisp. It doesn't make this one bad at all though.
