Description (2009) 9"x12" pencil, ink, watercolor, silver leaf, photographed and framed in Photoshop.

We're getting towards the end here... Just Pisces to do now. For Aquarius I dipped again into the soft blues and purples of the air signs.

My favourite piece, as it's my favourite (and my own) sign ;o). The blue is adorable, it's my absolutely favourite shade of blue - as far as I can tell on my screen, of course.

Creative. I like that you placed her vase with water at the top of her head,making the water ran down in her hair. Or is it her hair that look like water?

Thank you! I hadn't even thought of that, but I like the idea!

I like the calm, serene ook on her face. The blues are nice colors, too...though I personally would have used blues and aquas... hehe Great job!

Ellygator In reply to hyenacub [2009-07-23 14:57:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! I was thinking about that, but felt it would look very much like a water sign then, which it isn't...

hyenacub In reply to Ellygator [2009-07-24 00:30:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, which makes absolutely no sense to me. Ah well.

Ellygator In reply to hyenacub [2009-07-24 13:48:37 +0000 UTC]

I know, to actually mention water in the name for it, and then stick it in air... Oh well, traditions!

Old traditions can be really weird!

how about the rain and minute water molecules in the air..kinda helps the falling water make sense?...

I love all your zodiac pieces, but i must say i'm rather biased towards this one (as i'm aquarius) and i've been patiently waiting for you to make it I especially love how you've coloured the circle's intricate patterns with variants of blue. To me it is so striking, as is the rest of the piece. Lovely work

Ellygator In reply to Kalasinar [2009-07-23 15:02:01 +0000 UTC]

I am so glad you like this. It's always great if people who actually have a particular star sign love the design.

The colors and shading on this one are wonderful and wet Another option would have been to lengthen the woman's hair, allowing the locks to become/flow into the waves in the surrounding border, but that might also have made it too busy. Overall, it's fantastical!

Ellygator In reply to ArdenEllenNixon [2009-07-23 15:16:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! And you are right, a dark art nouveau halo of hair might have been pretty sweet!
