Looks better on the *ZOOM* please.
Hi Guys, I hope you all feel good today. I apologise for falling behind with my comments and aim to put that right this very week.
I am so excited about this pic as it is mostly my own painting, and photography. It took me ages to create, especially the old witch with her
millions of wrinkles, (she looks similar to, but is older than the last witch painting I did). I cannot use my wacom intuos3 just now, due to my silly arthritic fingers, so was easier to use my mouse to paint.
I created my own effect brushes, i.e. skin, clouds, tree bark. using CS4 tools/effects.
I painted all of the witch, her clothes, her hat, her jewellery. Also the night sky (from various sky background's I am creating), the old tree, the broomstick, and the rocks. The rest is photography which of course does include the 2 pics of Amy at different ages taken with my Finepix S5000.
Many thanks to the artist's brushes, or 3D items used that I give credit to below, where would I be without them.
A short story - 'It's all about the Love' ...
The old tired witch loved the mother cat, and took notice to follow her, as she appeared distressed. They both soared to the top of the mountain on the trusty old broomstick in search of the mother cat's cheeky beloved kitten.
Eventually they found her perched precariously on a branch of a very old tree! The mother cat knew her loving witch would save her beloved kitten, so set to washing herself and then had a good scratch, feeling safer sitting closely near her.
The old green witch lovingly tried to tempt the kitten away from the spiders web and the occupants within it, by offering her another spider to play with, and as time passed she achieved her mission. You see the witch loved all living creatures, and they responded toward her affectionately.
It is so evident here that the old witch could scare us because we would expect her to after hearing and reading about nasty old witches all of our lives, when in fact she had an abundance of love within her, and is of no threat. She put herself in danger teetering on the edge of that rocky mountain to help the one's she loved.
Once the kitten was saved the witch carefully loaded the felines onto her broomstick, and flew back down the mountain. It wasn't long before she saw her warm welcoming cottage below.
That night all three settled close by the fire, content in knowing they were safe and with the one's they loved. ... THE END
Ok so I am feeling a bit mushy tonight, but hey I thought it would be nice to have a good witch for a change, and always a happy ending :o)

OMG! Jane! This is a fantastic scene, you have created and the witch is just perfectly made. I LUV her face and I see you know exactly where to set the wrinckles in. Her outfit is gorgeous and the whole image is so beautiful balanced. I love the tree, which you really did a great job with. And of course love you cats and their poses. In all a Superb peace of art.

Very beautiful technic and of course composition.This "mixed medium" is indeed very successfull.My English langague being ...very, very ...no correct ,I have not understood all the story.Sorry! But your painting is remarkable as always!Good day Jane!

Wonderful artwork! It is very obvious you put a lot of feeling and time into it! All who didn't fit in until a couple a hundred a years ago could risk to get the "normally" peoples negative reactions! I think a lot of us at Rendo would belong to these "misfits" and witches and so on. Best wishes to you, Jane Rhanagaz aka Johnny C.

Dear Jane, I'm far, far, faaarrrr....from having your skills at digital painting...you're a master (to be honest I don't know what to do with my Wacom tablet !!! only scribbles !). This image is magnificent. BUt you should tell your cat not to eat black widow spiders...they're poisonous !

I love the little furry head of Amy. So adorable. Old witch's intelligence is worthy of praise.

You've created a wonderful story-scene, Jane, and your painting is superb.That witch is positively alive with detail and light, and her flowing garment is amazing. Love how the mother cat is curled up in the folds, knowing all will be well with her kitten. Not only a story of love, but a painting of love as well. CC

Another great example of your skills at painting in this medium, I'm lucky if I can clone out a poke-through with my mouse let alone ever hope to achieve anything of this caliber. The storyline is refreshing in it's direction, we get so used to witches portrayed as these horrid children eating monstrositites that I actually had quite a little smile on my face reading your narrative.

AMAZING, I have seen this witch, change so many times as you (always the perfectionist) think she is not quite right & keep adding. I have had the pleasure of seeing her even closer up & she is awesome. I told Jane she should upload a closeup of her face as it is wonderful. Great story as always. Just like to say thankyou for all the help you have given me of late & encouraging me to try something different. I love our time on the comp. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow, hope you have a lovely family day. Take care & love to you all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
