ACFMarch12

Thanks to the lovely ladies at ACF for the beautiful painting. I have given her a swing, extracted her from the original painting and used a lot of layers and lighting to achieve the final effect.
(Layers by Irene Alexeeva and Lauren Bavin). ENLARGE FOR BETTER DETAIL.

  5. What a beautiful treatment of Waterhouse's "Ophelia by the Pond", Marie. I used her for a So Artful challenge in February. She is so gorgeous. I love what you've done with her, and the addition of the swing is brilliantly and seamlessly done!

  16. This is so incredibly beautiful ~ as I look at it I find myself thinking "how I wish I could do something like this!" Not wanting to copy but to have the talent and expertise you seem to have in your art. I guess I will just keep coming over and admiring your creations. Thanks for sharing how you do things because it helps newbies like myself. Blessings!
