One of my husband's buddies requested a painting of a gothic faerie with...erm...a large chesty area. I don't normally paint females of that nature so this is what he got.  I also have a fascination with spiders and tattoos so made the border and tattoo on her arm in a 'knotwork' sort of method. You can't quite see the jewel at the spider's belly. Acrylic accents. 9"x12" watercolor.

I love this picture. It's the border that grabs me I think, I love the spider thing, and the tatoo on her arm. I also love her hair, it's so flowing. Yeah, I could name everything else I like about this picture, but it would take a while to type...so, awesome picture.

Due to the person who ordered this not getting around to actually paying for it, I am now the very, very happy owner of this piece.

I love it too 2
For me it is well-balanced, nicely proportioned and wonderfully themed... Very, very nice work, my Lady!
