SciFi and Fantasy Art WAITING by Julianne Dodds

Time passed quickly, because they were in love, and they were happy. But one day the prince told his wife that he had to leave and fight in a war across the ocean. The princess was very upset.
'How will I know if something happens to you?' she asked him.
'Look through this orb, and you will see I am not hurt,' he said, and handed her a crystal sphere.
And so every day the princess looked into her crystal and saw the prince. But one morning, when she looked, she didn't see anything.

5 Apr 2004	Otter	Loading... This works well. I put it in Adobe and ran it once or twice through an energizer: I think the colors are a little washed out on my monitor. But the general color relationships are awfully nice: good use of light and shadows for contrast, and lines and circles / curves too. I like the way the background bisects the picture, but the "aura" around her unites the upper and lower halves... then also how the top has a kind of brooding order compared to the swirling chaos below. Or I could just be reading too much into it... But I do like it. Julianne Dodds replies: "Well, I used mostly Payne's Grey for this painting, so it is pretty monochromatic. I was a little worried about dividing the picture like that, but I'm glad you think it was a success!"
6 Apr 2004	Sabrinames	Loading... I love the effect of her dress. It looks like she would turn to water or stone. I would crop it a bit, for her position in the painting is a bit weird, i think it would be more balanced if she was more centered. Julianne Dodds replies: "I'm rescanning the painting as we speak, so I'll think about cropping it. Thanks."
17 Aug 2004	Maureen van Osch	Loading... i like youre pic very much bud what a sad story it has i'm almost crying . anyway keep up the good work Julianne Dodds replies: "Oh, I think you're just being nice, but thanks nonetheless."
31 Jan 2005	Angela Moore	Loading... That is just beautiful, but sad. Sad and beautiful. I adore the way you've colored it, and the way she seems to be becoming one with the rock. Julianne Dodds replies: "You know, she'll always be there waiting for him. Thanks A."
23 Apr 2008	Derek C. Smith	Loading... I think that these paintings (this one and second thoughts) are my favorites. Like I said before, if these are watercolors, you are doing such amazing work. Please post more. Must see more watercolors!
