Description
Watercolors, 33 x 50 cm.This is a painting based on a old German saga called Lohengrin.
In this image you see Ortrud's castle in the forest. It's a bit overgrown and also a bit dilapidated. Ortrud represents the the evil pagan witch and former ruler, who is still believing in the old gods while the "civilized" rest of the population is already christianized. She lives alone with few of her followers in this castle in the forest and makes plans how to regain power.

Wow. Suits Ortrud pretty well, the dark scheming b*tch she is 
(This is my least fave of them, at least story-wise....c'mon, Christianity=good, Asatru=bad, really? Must have been a concession to public opinion, which Richard is not known for, lol...)

Leafs in the middle of upper part seem like they would hang in the air without stalk and they generally hurt eyes as alien element.

Impressive, well done on the association of shades and colours.
I like the picture seen from a small view also. The roots in the middle lead me to imagine their arms as an abnormal monstruous spider's legs, living in the castle.
Nice feeling.

Just like from the book I've read lately...(A.Sapkowski "Gottesstreiter") Better than my imagination.

Very beautiful! This piece really has a dark tone that sets the mood perfectly, and I love all the woods and overgrowth, hiding the castle from view. And that portion of wall that is visible near the bottom of the picture adds so much interest. Lovely piece.

Einfach wunderbar.
Ich mag besonders, wie im Vordergrund der Stein erst mal das Interesse fΓ€ngt und dann weiterleitet in den helleren Hintergrund zum Schloss
