Last weekend I went to an antiques fair and I bought some really old postcards of pretty young ladies. Some of them were from the early 1900s. They were all written on, too! Talk about some interesting history. I felt kind of guilty prying into someone's life, even though it was from 100 years ago!
Anyway, I decided to have a muck around and paint one of the ladies- Miss Denise Orme, dated 1933 (even though the letter on the back was dated 1910, go figure). I've turned her into a faerie Debutante- Miss Cotton Candy.
Watercolour and acrylic, 7 x 10 inches.

As a muffin of sweetness and delight I approve greatly of this wonderful interpretation of Miss Cotton Candy, and the soft, romantic colours illustrating her beauty.

It's so Renaissancey! I love the style. It's beautiful. So soft and warm, even with the cool-shaded colors. I think it's the splash of rose in her cheek that adds the warmth to it. Really, really lovely. Well done.
