Description
From Keats' classic ballad poem of 1819... a subject beloved by English Victorian painters , the most well known versions of which are probably by Waterhouse and DIcksee... here's my take.
"I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful, a faery's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild."
Fot those of you interested in sucjh things, the background is not an English water meadow (mead), rather its adapted from a photo I took near McKellar Ontario on a trip there many years ago.

Giana
truly beautiful in its colouring and light. nice composition, too. would love to see your take on John's 'Soul of the Rose' :))

Intriguing challenge, as the setting forms such a part of the mood of that painting, and i have nothing that comes close in my runtime... I'll put my thinking cap on and see if i can come up with something suitable :)
Giana
oooo, exciting. and i'll assume you know my challenge to you is to see the idea of 'Rose' through your eyes, and of course, available resources, rather than anything akin to replication, yea? :))
looking forward to it if you're inclined to move forward with it. [i] so enjoy your thoughtful & thought-provoking works, Joe...
