Description When I was painting this watercolor, I did not know whether the red-haired girl in Pre-Raphaelite inspired garment should be sad or just thoughtful, whether she should be a young human imagining herself a Fae or an ageless water spirit longing for the warmth of mortal embrace. What I knew was that I wanted to express the tranquility of early morning, its colors and forms, melancholy mixed with hope, dreams born out of stillness, new stimuli revealing themselves and fresh designs unfolding while the thoughts are still lingering on the edge between the new day and yesterday. I am afraid that the mist will lift and my nymph will disappear without a word, leaving me alone with all my questions and uncertainties... Well, what are spirits and faeries and nymphs but mirrors of our own inner world, always changing and horribly bad at posing for a portrait All content Copyright © Celebrinloth

Definitely has a pre-Raphaelite feel to it, which I love! Also, your watercolour technique almost looks like oils! Very interesting! ...

Thank you very much! 
I use white gouache and mix it with watercolors, so it often looks more like oils.

Thank you! I always thought that water is a tricky thing to paint

The landscape is quite beautiful - dreamy and serene, and the girl's expression fits very well, along with the red hair adding a vibrant contrast.

Thank you! Nice to hear that you find a connection between the mood of the landscape and the girl I really tried to create this connection.

I love the way you painted the colors in the water --- and the silhouettes of the trees --- and the way it leans towards an Art Nouveau style.  Enjoying all your work very much!
