Description
Yes, I know I'm very very behind in my messages, if you're wondering why, check out my latest journal, but I will be trying to catch up on at least the deviations in my box this weekend. In the meantime, my friend is very involved with a theater group that is putting on a production of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. Theater has always been a huge part of my life, so I had told her, if they ever needed artwork for something, to let me know and I'd do it for free if I knew enough in advance. Well, she called in the card this time and asked for something they could put on their 4"x6" postcard mailers.If you know the play, you might get the iconography, but the director specifically wanted blue roses (Jim's name for Laura) and I specifically wanted them to be still practically buds, but already starting to wilt. Hopefully, the director's ok with that
Text is going to be placed in later by someone else.Media: colerase brown on vellum lineart, painting in Photoshop and Painter

This is really amazing, I have a friend that really likes roses, so I normally end up making duct tape roses for her...

Just wanted to say that as soon as read the title on my dAwatch list, I immediately thought of the play. Go fig. It's very lovely, and appropriate to the character.

"Glass Menagerie" is one of my favorite plays, so this is just... wonderful. I love how the petals are falling. So melancholy and beautiful. Great work!

I love that play!
This looks great. I like the colors on this. Those buds are colored so well and I like how they're already losing petals like that. So pretty, but kind of sad too.

I allways wanted blue flowers in my room.. and I was allways wondering how to crossbreed plants and if it was possible..
pull the bulbs apart like garlic of a purple one and put parts of them in a bulb of blue...
I dunno why I thought that could work.

Very, very lovely. If they can manage to put some text on there that looks like the old Toulouse-Latrec style posters (you know. like you put on your art -normally-, hehe) it'd look absolutely awesome.

I saw that performed a few years ago and couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me. All I could remember was "blue roses" which is immediately what came to mind when I read the title of this lovely and somber peice. Thanks for the memories ^_^
