I have been suffering a lack of enthusiasm and creativity for quite some time and then 2 weeks ago I got the ideas and the itch to start painting again. Since I like to do things that are based on experiences and emotions this one is The key keeper she has finally unlocked my imagination again and let the creativity poor out.

Each of us has a key keeper I'm sure of it! She can be cruel an lock you out when you need to access the very fibers of your dreams or she can lock you in living eternally in a world of a blissful fantasy or a horrifying nightmare. But most of the time she allows you access to everything we artists find close to out hearts.

I have taken quite a lot of time on this piece, I really wanted the beauty to flow out and off the screen. I would love to hear peoples comments and suggestions.

I finaly taught myself to use painter and i am really happy in the way it turned out. I tried something a bit more rough in the texture. I would like to hear peoples opinions of this piece and if they think i contributed enough into the story.

This piece is "The Frog Prince" I really wanted to captuer that old fairy tale feeling as if you opened a childerns story book.

I really wanted to capture what it felt like to fall in to the inky black depths of emotion. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming you just fall into them. Really tried to capture that renascence feeling through the colour and the flicker of the cloth to really push that falling into emotion is beautiful and has gone on for countless years

Used a woman because she represents the female emotional side to really dive home the helplessness that emotions induce

I wanted to do a piece that had a lot of emotional value for me. I am a ballet dancer but I only dance at home or in class. Recently I have been diagnosed with rhuematoid arthritist which causes sevear pain in my hip. In this piece I wanted convey all the pain it causes me to do something that I love that's so gracefull and beautiful. I tried to get accross the conflict within my heart of wanting to dance and not being phisically able.

i just do digital art as a hobby, its one of those things. i have always loved playing in photoshop and digital art is a natural progression for me I guess well I went through "i'm going to do old children characters" phases and this is "Cinderella" while i would paint i would try to imagine the real life story the fairy tale one was based off I have included that story if you choose to read it anyway i started this piece ages ago and i finally sat down and re did her hair i quite like it now

The Cinderella story - according to my imagination as a true story.

The family was very rich being distant relatives of the crown unfortunately Cinderellas father did die when she was but 5yrs old and left his daughter half his lands as a dowry. Her stepmother had always hated the girl for her inheritance and connections her two daughters also pretty absconded Cinderella for her beauty and thus turned her into a maid so she could not marry a young lord and take her share of the wealth. It wasn't until the Prince's ball when cinderellas aunt who lived on the outskirts of the kingdom came to stay. She was a lady of esteem and come to participate in the celebrations and was outraged at how her only niece had been brought up. However she could not do anything, she was a guest in the house of her late brother who held a higher title which was passed on to Cinderellas stepmother. So being devious and knowing the court would not let a beautiful young lady escape their attention she began to secretly plan that Cinderella would attend the ball and thus being introduced into the court as her fathers daughter giving her the status so long denied her. Her aunt had a dress secretly made of soft purple. The purple would turn the royal family's attention to her niece as purple could only be worn by those who had a blood connection to the royal line. Cinderella would be a maid no longer. Her aunt left her the dress and carriage and strict instructions to leave after her stepmother as only the most important guests arrive last.

This is a picture of Cinderella before she enters the ball and admiring the finery of the castel for the first time.]]> Mon, 24 Apr 2006 07:29:28 +0000
