What a beautiful illustration, wonderfully atmospheric - love the delicate landscape detail. I've always been captivated by scenes of mountains that are in fact sleeping giants... this is a great original take on that theme :)
Kathy, just when I think you can't get any better, well, you keep blowing me away! This is so beautiful and haunting! As the kids, say...I'm LOVING it!
Wow is this an amazing piece! I've never been keen on the colored pencils, but after looking at your blog, I'm itching to dig mine out again. So much beautiful work!
Whoaaaa! This is utterly amazing! What a brilliant concept. She has such a sad and pensive expression. I just want to give her a hug and ask for her story. The reflections in the water are excellent!
Thankyou everyone for all of your kind comments they are really appreciated...
Enigma, I enjoy using all sorts of media but I especially like using pastels, watercolour and of course coloured pencils and often use them all in one image. But I love the textures and effects I can achieve with pencils so I tend to use them the most.
So melancholy, but so beautiful! I love how it's like she's been sad for so long that the landscape has grown upon her making her a solid part of the sad world.
Someone earlier had the best word for your illustration: mesmerizing. I'm not so sure I can ever walk on an island the same way again! Thanks for visiting my site and the nice words, too - much appreciated.
