Description ...which, apparently, means "endless journey" in Latin.
But since it's more of a guess from my side, anyone who knows a correct form can laugh from me and then - hopefully - help me edit the title

Well, this picture has almost had an endless journey through the dark, unused corners of my disc drive.
I've started drawing it about 2 or 3 years ago, solely because I was annoyed that I couldn't find wallpapers for my 1920x1200 laptop display that would be nice and have a quality good enough to look crisp on it.
Of course... since then I've found some :], which is why I didn't really bother to finish this one.
But it's here!

It's a purely decorative art this one, and it started really spontaneously - all I knew is that I wanted to paint something in one of my favorite mix of colors: browns and blues and feature some kind of vines on the left... the rest appeared later XD
Though I've gotta admit that at some point I've started to think about Eurydice coming back to Hades, after Orpheus' rather elaborate, but eventually quite botched attempt to drag her from the land of the dead - but this interpretation isn't definitive; it's just a thought that appeared somewhere.

Anyway - since it IS a wallpaper and since I can't find any reason to not share this one, if any of you, good people of deviantArt, would like to feature a weird, blue ghost'ish lady on your desktops, you can download a rather big .rar file, where you can find a variety of sizes to match your screens.

Let me just say that you have my permission to display it on your computers, mobile phones or whatever in any shape or form possible - just don't claim copyright of it... pretty please^^

Enyjoy!

ten blekit mnie powalil na kolana
wspaniale sie wybija z tla- przez to postac swieci i wydaje sie taka nierealna- magiczna praca
Kobieta faktycznie wyglada jakby wstepowala w mroki hadesowego krolestwa
naprawde przepiekna praca
i ten ornament...czysta poezja

This is breathtakingly beautiful. Just, wow. I love the colors together, and how the figure weaves in and out of focus as the eye is pulled all over the composition. The vines offset it really well, too! <3

I adore this combination of colors. It's a great contrast of ethereal and earthy. What a mysterious mood!

^^ Thanks I really like combines blues and browns together, although lately I've fallen in love in combining all kinds of reds and blues... which will probably be more and more apparent in my gallery in the future

Wow. I love this. I mean really love. This is a fav.
I like many things about this picture. For example the vnies: If I'm correct you used a lighter tone for the "lineart" which I think looks pretty amazing. And the way her hair and dress fade into smoke/dust (at least that's my interpretation) is cool. An her dress and the shadows you used. So soft.
If you ask me this is definitely not only decorative art. Perhaps you didn't intend this, but for me the picture tells a story. Funny that I thought of Eurydice even before I read your description.
Gorgeous work! I really mean it.
