Description Cruel Fortune..[title from Orff's Carmina Burana]...fate tempts us with temporary good fortune & the illusion of free will...or are we on a carousel,going around & around,unable to break free...philosophy with your cornflakes!
*Watercolour, process white & interference colours (for anyone who cares about such things!)...had to tweak it a bit in Photoshop, because the metallic effects didn't scan well.

Sometimes I felt just like that. Maybe it was a delusion of my soul. Then again, maybe the only soul I had was just in my head.

TheTrashCaretaker [2006-02-04 04:57:06 +0000 UTC]

What you have happening near the bottom of this piece is awe inspiring. The tiny little details in the horse and joker like character and even the ojects falling down from the hand are...wow...stunning. There is only one thing that throws me off slightly is the hand. The middle finger of the hand looks like it's missing the top half of it. It looks like it was supposed to go behind the cloth(or curtian) but it's hard to tell. This is just a minor thing though from a otherwise amazing piece. Great job!

AngelusNoir In reply to TheTrashCaretaker [2006-02-04 07:26:41 +0000 UTC]

Thankyou for your comments,I appreciate your feedback! I drew the hand from life, & if you look at the picture, the top of the middle finger is covered by the cloth....I'm afraid I'm limited by a fairly average scanner & the metallic effects on this piece(I used W&N metallic medium on the stage curtains, & it didn't show up as transparent as I'd like), but you can just see the outline! I did this hand about 3 times, & it just looked better this way I thought!...I've realised that some of the effects that look good in real life don't show up so well on the screen...but glad you liked the details,thanks!

TheTrashCaretaker In reply to AngelusNoir [2006-02-04 19:56:23 +0000 UTC]

No prob

Ah, I hate it when scanners sometimes don't pick up the little details and effects in pieces. Yeah it usually is a pain to get paintings itleast to look the same on screens. Everyone tends to have different settings.
