Description
This is a painting done in Pen and Ink, watercolor and colored pencil. I had so much fun doing every stage of this drawing. It just flowed so easily. I did all of the color work in one sitting. Well, I lie. It was two and I took a nap in the middle and stopped for lunch. But still, to have done all the color work in a singe day is a terrific feat for me, and I am really proud of this one.I'm not sure about the title, though.
EDIT:
Now available as a cross-stitch from KustomKrafts!

The tone of this scene reminds me of something out of a book. Great work on the steed's trappings, and the stone work of the castle ruins.

Oh, beautiful!!!
I loved it!!! *O*
I like the song Greensleeves (I played it in my flute =3).
"Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in you company"
OMG!!

Heh. Could I leave it a white horse? NO! Had to take the extra time and effort and dapple the thing. I never can seem to do things the easy way.
Thanks for appreciating it.

Oh, Belieeeeeeve me, so would I. I'm not good enough, and my seamstress roommate doesn't do corsets yet. And she'd yell at me for the leafy sleeves and the embroidery, so I can't really hope for my own.
Well, I'm really more of an autumn anyway....which ONE day I hope to do a similar piece in autumn colors. Just don't know when I'll get around to it.

The original is 11"x17". I actually started with the dress design and worked my way "out" of the picture.

Is this painting available as a print? Note me, if it is.
Not like I should be spending money on art right now, but... it's so pretty!

Oh My...did you do the frame by hand? And you didn't die of frustration? And the arches and bricks are perfect..

Yep. And nope.
We've got a running joke over at WeCanvas about artists doing celtic knots chanting "Over, under,over, under..." for hours at a time while working, driving everyone else nuts in the process.

Oh, good question!
I probably should edit the description to mention that it's 11x17" and was done on Illustration board (actually, the board was 15x20, and I placed the image in the middle to make matting easier. However, this made scanning MUCH harder. I love the 11x17 size because it's big enough to allow for a LOT of detail, and yet it's small enough that I don't exhaust myself trying to get it all colored in.

That is quite large to have painted so quickly! I know how much of a pain it is to scan larger paintings like that. It is such a beautiful painting! Do you sell prints anywhere?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! When I scanned it, I had to stick my foot on the scanner to hold the lid down, because the watercolor had made the board warp slightly, and I hadn't had a chance to press it flat yet. Which actually worked, surprisingly enough.
I do plan to have prints available. I have prints of most of the other work in the gallery, too, I just don't have a paypal accout set up to recieve money yet, so I don't advertise them on the site yet.
If you, or anyone else, is interested in a print, please email me privately and we can discuss it.

Lol! That sounds like me when I scan things. And my scanner's not that big so I have to scan things in at least two pieces and then put them back together in photoshop.
Thanks for the info on the prints.
