Description This is the second painting in my elements collection, based upon John W.Waterhouse's 'Circe Invidiosa'.

As you might notice, I'm also using space as a common thread throughout the series.
For this one I asked my daughter to model for the face.
I'm thinking about adding something though (more stars or maybe something red?) before I'm going to varnish it, because I feel like there's something missing.

I had a bit of a problem with making a good photograph of this work as you might notice,
this one was by far the best I could make without the light reflecting in it and sort of blanking out half of the painting. And without the flash I only got blurry pictures so that wasn't good either.

Oh well, If you have any remarks or comments I'd love to hear them

P.S. I'd really like to thank my teacher Christianne for her great help. Here on dA she's known as Raipun, you should check out her wonderful website

Yes I did'n think that it was so many, verry good ones and some bad!
But the main reason to paint is for myself to feel good and enjoy what I'm accomplish!

This is beautiful! The only thing I would change would be to shrink the head a tiny bit and add more of a neck. Also the water looks a tiny bit opaque, that could easily be fixed by adding some shadow in. Overall very pretty picture.

As I was browsing the DD's page, I saw this piece and was instantly reminded of Waterhouse's Circe, one of my favorites from him.

I was pleased to catch the resemblance. This is truly a beautiful picture, you're daughter is a lovely model.
