Description [11x14 watercolor] This has been sitting around finished for a week I have no idea how long this actually took so don't ask, but I did the first sketch 6 months ago. I went through several re-drawings to get to the final drawing and didn't finish it until now.

oh yeah, FULL VIEW is worth it!

Ahhh, so pretty! She's gorgeous... the background is gorgeous... I like how it's almost symmetrical, but not quite... and the blue of the dress is so vibrant... wheeee, excellent work. :] I love it.

It's beautiful!

I have to tell you a funny thing though, when I saw the thumbnail at first, it looked like a man with a lightblue jacket and blue pants bending over seen from behind.

This is one of my favorite pieces of the illustrious Meredith. Her work inspires me daily and I told her that I could look at this piece for hours. I intend to purchase a print should she sell any. This chick rocks!

absolutely fab, and i agree with DeviantCharlie, Copyright right in the middle spoilt it a little for me, the bottom right would have been a much more suitable place for it.

other than that, a truly amazing piece.

Sorry, the edges are too easy for thiefs to crop. It's either than or really tiny versions where no one gets to see any detail. If someone wants my art without watermarks they can certainly buy prints.

thanks anyway
