The Road Not Taken
Aakyra
(Sep 25, 2008)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in undergrowth, Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost ~ 1875

oh Aakyra, this is truly a master piece. So lovely. You put so much of yourself and attention to every aspect of your draws.
Aakyra (Jul 20, 2009)
Sorry for the delay in saying thanks! I do appreciate the thoughtful comments. And Grey Ghost, I love the poem, it really inspired me to work to the finish on this. The picture seemed to be a visual of the words. Thanks QT! I am always honored by a commeny from you, and Sun, good friends always!

oh this is beautiful!! the poem is great too, i actually sang a song with those words for as a solo a few years ago, my first thought when i saw this was that you had heard the song, it adds another level of meaning to the words as only music can. but this is an absolutely gorgeous painting and i hope you do more landscapes soon :)
Aakyra (Aug 10, 2009)
I am sure that your performance was wonderful... the words are really beautiful, and I didn't think until you mentioned it how lovely they would be set to music! Thank you for the comment, it was so very nice! |

doesn't quite look like her yet tho
QTgillie (edited Feb 18, 2009)
Flubbles wins with the actress and Hiro you were correct with it being the same actress as Pirates. I don't know, I think her hair and her outfit need a bit more work. Oh, yes...too many details!
montezmaria (Feb 18, 2009)
Oh this is so nice. You've really out did yourself on this, wow. What a gorgeous blue to her outfit and that hat is so full of detail. Wonderful job.

I am so not a Keira Knightly fan, but I love this drawing you did. Nice hair and blues. The feather on the hat looks very soft.
QTgillie (Feb 19, 2009)
Thank you both Marie and enjoy. Very appreciative. |

I don't quite see Tom here yet but this is a good drawing Gloria
firecracker (Feb 17, 2009)
Very handsome guy.....but I don't see Tom yet either. Keep working on it, and I bet Tom will appear!!! Great draw so far! :)
QTgillie (Feb 17, 2009)
For some reason Tom is a tough guy to capture. I tried him once and he never quite appeared, I usually can nail just about anybody, but he was a toughie. I love this technique you used tho....it is very esthetic! |

Contest Week 95: Musical Portraits (10 days) Paint a portrait of a musician in the style of their music. The portrait should be the focal point of your entry but you can draw other elements and symbols around the portrait if you wish, just make sure the "musical expression" is coming through in the portrait itself. You can do this in any style you want, realistic, caricature, abstract, as long as I get a sense of what the musician looks like and what their music sounds like. If the mus...
