"From the world, she hid her heart - an organ of fire and feeling."I wanted to try something a little different for this week's submission. I usually work extensively with collage. So, for the theme of "hide," I drifted away from it and work outside my comfort zone. I'm doing a lot of readings about the Middle Ages and I think that that came through with this illustration.

tender rendering.
I like the quote too.
Great job. It has a very collage feel to it--the contrast between the painted character and foreground with the black and white linnear background.
Cool work! great details too!
Wow this is so beautiful. I love the archway behind her. Such lovely colors!
Beautiful Andrew. I like the B&W backgound with the soft colors of the subject. The background looks like an old woodcut and the color is frescoe-ish. Nice juxtaposition.
This is lovely. I really like the use of B&W because it makes it seem like she has a beautiful secret to share, if only she wasn't hiding! (and thanks for the comment too).
wow! this is beautiful! i like the difference in the background and foreground... it gives it a lot of depth and feeling. your jewellery is just stunning too, very unique pieces. j
You have captured the feeling of the Middle Ages very well especially due to the colors and the technique in the background. I like the broken wall with the world hiding behind it. And also the 'third' eye looking down on her.
I like the feeling of the paint
Very interessant work!
It recalls me "Tristan and Iseult".
I like the contrast between the two techniques.
this is so special. I love the background. The medivelness is coming out! Me gusta.
Wow. It looks very three-dimentional, like you sculpted it. I love the juxtuposition/transition between foreground being in modern color and background looking like a black and white medieval woodcut with the half-way arch in between.
