Ghost of a Rose

The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him...
She would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Her eyes believed in mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her...
When she would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

When all was done, she turned to run
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
And ever more he thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
He'd hear her say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Lyrics Blackmore's Night

Looks almost like a photo--if I hadn’t read the discription, it would have completely fooled me--this is great! 3

I have loved this song, and the band it came from for years!! So when I finally clicked on this thumbnail, it kind of brought back some memories and I actually laughed out loud at myself for not recognizing the song lyrics in the title. Overall the eyes are the things that captivate me the most about this picture.
Funny fact. When I showed this to my mother, she said the drawing’s nose looked like mine. xD
One question, then I’ll go on to something else. Have you heard of the Irish singer Loreena Mckennit?

:-) Katerina Koukiotis replies: "hi rosie 2 yes i have i know of the singer you mentioned, a lot of fellow fantasy artists really like her music i have heard some of her singing on youtube 2 thank you so much for all your lovely comments, i love Blackmore’s night amazing band and songs and they have done some classic remakes so well 2 when i did this drawing back in 2007 i believe it was for a online dark fantasy show and being that i love portrait work i decided on a face but wanted a haunting but beautiful look 2 it was based on fellow model and friend sharon from deviantart.com she no longer provides stock but i was so happy to do this at the time and had no idea it would be so well perceived

I think the hair is amazing in this picture. I love all the detail that you put into the eyebrows and eyelashes. The only flaw I could find is that her nose looks a little bit uneven. But she’s still amazingly gorgeous. I look forward to your next upload!

:-) Katerina Koukiotis replies: "thank you so much 2 its one of my favorite songs too 2"

Gorgeous, I love BlackMore’s Night! But, shouldn’t it have been white roses? Either way, this is a beautiful interpretation.

:-) Katerina Koukiotis replies: "thanks so much 2 yes the song does speak of a white rose but i felt my artwork would look better with a red one..lol.."

Beautiful pencil work, I love the softness of the image while every detail is captured.

I must say, this is gorgeous. Reminds me of that famous National Geographic photo of the young girl with the startling eyes.
