This is my character, Shar'eshelle, Mother Earth to the world of my stories, as she looks in deep winter. The little bit of greenery on her staff is mistletoe.

This is the first time I've really attempted that Art Nouveau style swirly hair. I think my favorite part is down near the base of her staff

Aww I love this! I really adore the hair, I think it plays really nicely into the Art Nouveau style. I also love the coloring on her dress and the base, it looks very icy. Beautiful work! And good luck in the contest

Oh wow! This must be one of your best pieces so far- her hair is incredibly elaborate, elegant and yet simple at the same time, the lines are so clean cut too- simply stunning! Love, love, love it! I wish you all the best with the contest!

I love the way you did the hair here; it's very representative of the Art Nouveau style! I think I'm going to join the contest now too; I've seen the journal before but sort of forgot about it until I saw your piece.
