I picked up my sketchbook on Saturday to doodle while Matt was playing Tiger Woods 08. I ended up sketching out this beautiful little Elven Goddess!

So, I sat down at about 2:30, Sunday afternoon, and started painting her! After 6 1/2 hours, with a break for dinner, I finished her! This little lady has a completely different look from my other Goddesses.....but I like her! :) Please, drop by my pics and leave me a comment! Give me the good and the bad....I can take it!

Here, she is, my first piece of 2008!

"Goddess of Imaginary Light"
(Acrylic on 9x12 canvas board)

(Secretly for all you Evanescence fans out there....)

I'm kinda disappointed at how she looks scanned.....she's so much better in person! The full size scan shows all of the lines from the canvas, but you don't actually see them on the real painting...oh well. So, to make it beter, I have included some detaied pieces of the painting. I'm seeing some spots in the Aurora Borealis that need fixing....hmmm...... :)

(Detail of eye and ear)

(Detail of hair & barrette - linework on the hair jewelry is done in liquid silver leaf)

(Detail of dress - outline of Goddess brooch and linework on the bodice is done in liquid silver leaf)

(Detail of moon and stars)

Once again, plese stop by my pics and leave me a comment on this piece!

~Love & Light~
