Sorry it's taken so long to get this one up. I have had another project to finish up, and it was a pay job, so it took precedence. Rapunzel turned out to be one of my favorites in the series. Painting the hair was a lot of fun.
The latest in the series. It does seem like they are not getting finished as quickly as the first few did. The last three or so are on the boards now though, so it shouldn't be too long now.
This one might make a good February, just because of the palette. I don't usually use so much pink, but I branched out a little. It was tough, the color you see, is actually the third tint of pink that I finally liked. The Princess is about to have the worst night's sleep of her life.
Another heroine from The 1001 Arabian Nights.. Badoura is brought briefly together with Prince Camaralzman by two Djinn who want to compare the fairest mortals in the world. The Princess and Prince immediately fall in love, but are transported back to their homes, China and Persia, by the Djinn The rest of the story tells of their search to find each other again. In her adventures, Badoura, disguised as a youth, becomes the king of an island. This is how I chose to depict her.
I am currently working on a series depicting heroines of fairy tales. There is a suggestion that perhaps they could be made into a calendar or something. This is the first one I finished. She is from the Hans Christian Andersen story The Wild Swans. I think it would make a good illustration for October.
