Ghost of a Roseby *Katerinaartkoukiotis

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

.......
Her eyes believed in mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her...
When she would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."
.."
Lyrics/song Blackmore's Night

Hello everyone i have a new artwork
to share 'Ghost of a Rose'
completed for FAE's dark fantasy show,
the deadline is january 22nd,when all the artworks
from all the artists participating will be posted i will
make sure and update with a link in my journal.

I decided to go with a portrait ,i think I'm going through
a portrait phase lately

i don't know how dark fantasy it is but it has the feeling to it i think.

The title was inspired from one of my favorite bands and song Blackmore's Night Ghost of a Rose i know the song speaks of a white rose but i like the red one in my artwork
looks more appropriate for dark fantasy me thinks

The beautiful girl in the artwork is my friend shannon

used with her premission
i just loved the haunted look in her eyes and wanted to draw her ever since i saw her picture-thank you shannon

Completed on 8'5x10'5 smooth bristol board with charcoal and colored pencils prismacolors,the flowers took me it seemed a long time ,so many layers and i burnished my CP work a lot to give it a silky or velvety look,my hand felt it was going dead most of the time

Hope you like it
have a wonderful weekend everyone
