Description Just a quick painting for Sajhiri's contest.

A Berceuse is a lullaby.. I'm currently playing Blumenfeld's "Berceuse Op. 23 No.3" for piano, and its very lovely, and stuck in my head while I was painting this. Somehow the classicalness rubbed off on this painting..

This time I try to tone down the colors I used.. my previous paintings sort of burned into my eyes. I wasn't sure about the cropping, but.. I decided to just leave it like this, cos it sorta looks nicer.

Done with watercolors.. about an hour XD.

This is such a nice picture!! I really how she looked delicate... It was an interesting pose you put her in... I especially liked her hair and her dress... The dress is so unique!! In one aspect it looks like space but it also looks like the crashing of a wave... Great job!!

Brilliant! I know a lot of people hate to hear someone say this, but she looks just like a character from the story I'm writing, which is saying something, as she's the most beautiful person in the world. I've been wondering for a long time what she really looks like, and I think I've finally seen her in this lovely work.
