"It's a still life watercolor of a now late afternoon, as the sun shines through the curtain lace and shadows wash the room. And we sit and drink our coffee, couched in our indifference like shells upon a shore you can hear the ocean roar in the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs, the boarders of our lives. And you read your Emily Dickinson and I my Robert Frost and we note our place with book markers that measure what weve lost...." Simon and Garfunkle

One of my all-time favourite songs, Axil - and you did it justice. The final version really captures the feelings of "the shadows wash the room", in a way that the earlier versions didn't, leaving the image more disconnected from the song. This brings them back into a connected whole, as a picture and its description should be, IMHO. :) The only flaw is not in the image or its execution, but in the connection between it and the song - because she doesn't look "couched in indifference", but instead intently focused. No insult intended, though -- the piece is gorgeous, regardless.

Thanks yall. :)

Oooh, more pictures of the home of my heart! You have a real gift for rendering this kind of scene, Cindy! :) There are two points that I have to question, though, for future reference (again, not that I could do this myself, but I can tell that these two points don't look quite right -- my eye being better at this than my hands, as yet, at least).

First, the ripples in the dry wash of the path seem to me to be too consistently angled, instead of following the curves of the path, the way I'd expect them to, if they were caused by water running over the mud during flood time (which is what I think of when I see that kind of image). They'd make more sense if there were a way for the water to have acted on the land outside of the path, the same way, but with the wall there, I'd expect the water to be restricted to the path more, and curve to follow it, during flash floods.

Second, the tufts of greenery on the bush don't seem to have a correlary set of darker areas, within the shadow of the bush, so it looks to me like the shadow is of a bush that doesn't have as much foliage on it as this one does.

These are both fairly minor points though, which I offer only in order to point out directions in which you can continue to work on advancing your work, which is already spectacular, and VERY evocative of the landscapes you've been painting. <smile> As you may be able to tell, what I've seen so far has been enough to spur me to go back through the pictures in your user board, in order to see more of these pieces! <grin> But even great artists can still grow, and I hope I've offered some useful suggestions for your consideration, here. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 13, 2004)

sure, always, I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. (Actually, it doesn't rain often where this was taken from and it's very windy, so I assume the ripples were caused by the wind since the sand changes rapidly - although the rain does a number on this wash when it does happen)

spoof

Sin

EverDream (Mar 3, 2004)

Sin is an ugly thing....it dirties the purest of things...slowly fading it away or crumbling it messily. It stains, kills, blackens.

~yah I know, this pic was really out of the norm of my usual work.

Red Wings of Angels for Brushes4

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 3, 2004)

To Brushes: I hope that this does the memory of your mother, and the love you have for your children justice. I find that alot of people associate redbirds with someone who was very dear to them, usually the person who taught them to love. My grandmother loves them, and it was one of the first things we painted together when I was little.

wow! DBA! i love this! you are an inspiration to bird lovers everywhere :D

EverDream (Mar 4, 2004)

This is really good DBA! You did exceptional work on the background. My only pick with this is the tip of the beak doesn't seem to fit being rounded like that....kinda like it belongs on a different species...you might want to try sharpening the edge more, making it more straight. Other than that everything else is awesome! :D

enjoydotcom (Sep 7, 2008)

Black zipper?

Miss_DJ (Sep 7, 2008)

dark roots intentionally left for some kind of look she likes now..but I think this look was much sexier and prettier...just my lil ole opinion..lol.

davincipoppalag (Feb 21, 2019)

BEHOLD

EverDream (Feb 24, 2004)

.....just as the title says,
I've taken the liberty of drawing another (and better) Seph. pic.
And just to let you all know...I won't be doing any more FF fanarts for a while. Too much of it kills the theme you know? Any way. Enjoy!

To my beloved J.R.

...where ever he is...
:(

***
took way too long cuz I was WAY too indecisive over silly areas. Over all, the feel of it came off the way I wanted.

Ugh...Been listening to Evanescence "My Immortal" over and over to keep in the mode...I think my ears are gonna bleed.

wow!!! I love this!! Look like angels!

fleeting_memory (edited Mar 1, 2004)

Ah no! what happened? You blurred it all? you lost so much character with the line art...I loved how the faces described their longing for each other and how you could see his hand reach out with the fingers...it still looks good but I liked it much better the first way-though I admit I like the hair without the outline

morbidboblover (Mar 2, 2004)

Wow....that is amazing! I love the colors and the detail!
