Hi Everyone,
I didn't have the guts to go with Waterhouse , so instead I went with my second best painter, John William Godward. This is one of his minor works . I'm pretty happy with the results (I like the trance/ecstasy expression), however I don't think I will ever again reproduce another painting, It's just coping, and was not so fun... Anyway here we go (14 hours, no tracing):

Hi Andrea, it's easy to see how much hard work has gone into the arrangement of color and line and mood ... The palette is very rich, it takes a while to realize it's been painted digitally ... Whatever the original may have looked like, this painting stands for itself ... and makes me think of scenes from one of my favorite novelists, Gabriele d'Annunzio, "L'Innocente" ...

Spectacular work!

Thanks Chinapete, to me (and Artrage guys I guess) it's the greatest compliment!! I'm italian but I don't know d'Annunzio works, but I'm glad that Godward's character triggered the connection. Between, one of my favorite writers is Italo Calvino, give it a tray if you have the chance. Thanks again!

Spectacular work!

Thanks Dear Copespeak! Take a look at Godward's work, he is the one that deserves it!

Dear AndreaMG,

'Reverie'.. Always gave me a sense of seeing the girl..mere seconds before drifting off into a deep
sleep ..forcing one... not dare to interupt the inevitable.

With your painting.. I instantly feel and sense more of a sultry, seductive and certainly more
inviting allure.. forcing one to stuggle with ones urge to engage her.

Not 'merely a reproduction on your part!..To me you've made it your own ..As if you imaged her having a more mature..more inviting and certainly more temping sister..'This 'Sister'.. isn't going asleep anytime soon!
I'm sure John Godward would be pleased!

Ha ha Thanks Steve, now I'm in BIG trouble! But I prmomised (for now) no more copies of paintings! Thanks but all the merits go to Master Godward.

"Thanks but all the merits go to Master Godward"

*But you have certainly added a bit more life to your painting in homage to him!...
With that being said... is what compelled me to let you know what I saw in your tribute to him.

'You picked the funny line to quote!....But!..'There were so many others!
Ha ha!

Take Care,
Steve
