Description
Another more recent piece. Again different from my 'usual' style of fairies. I guess I'm exploring-trying something new. (and learning perhaps my usual style is best ;x )This actually is another old, old sketch-and I think I might have even used a stock model here on DA as a bit of a reference for the pose...ugh, I am sorry because I have forgotten who!
Anyway, this took me a good year of walking away and coming back on and off before I was satisfied enough to call it finished. There may or may not have been a touch of swearing here and there... ;x She still makes me want to bite her. Not a fan!! blah -_-;

Thanks! I must confess I'm not a fan of her-she was too mean to me while I was painting her and I am still too stubborn to forgive her for it.

I think it is actually! I'm a piano gal myself, but my husband strums the guitar now and then.

Karrin this is gorgeous! I love your style it is seriously GREAT! I don't suppose you would do something like this with a harp in it?

lol thanks!
Who knows, someday I might be persuaded into doing a piece with a harp! I just need the proper beating of inspiration to strike

It's good to hear that! I struggled a lot with the background-I just started off wrong and ended up not liking the color very much! lol

Her hair was so fun to do, I have such a thing for red hair.
And I love that photo, it's really a great artistic shot.

The picture is gorgeous as well as the idea. Who was the model, is not that important as for me, because you could ask your friend to sit like the girl in the picture and make a shot. You ability to convey her expression and your feelings is more important
