Description

" Everyday, Penelope would patiently wait for the return of Ulyses, discarding the numerous gifts sent to her by her pretendants..." I had planned to post this picture on tuesday morning but it took me that long to get over the initial shock and start doing something else than watch TV. I hope people will still enjoy it...

Love the setting and the structure, it's refreshing to look at. A tiny error, I'm currently researching dress of the 5thC BC and earlier in Greece and the gowns were almost to the ground and up to the neck, some without sleaves, i hope someone builds some clothes for this period soon! The petals are great touch.

dragonfly: I could not find long wraps that would fold nicely for vicky. And I am not good enough with a graphics tablet to draw it myself :)

sirocco: You are right, I forgot the link to the original painting (Tadema's gallery). I tried to recreate the same ambiance as of the painting.

Actually, Tadema was part of a group called the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood and several of them did paintings on themes like these. I love them. You did VERY well in the recreation, the lighting is a little harsh and bright though. Try changing the color tone slightly. Tadema's works tended to have slightly more safron lighting, less harsh white. Also, I found that if you put a pleated skirt on the model that you can change the lengths on before applying the Olympian you get closer to the effect you are looking for. (see my Courtship of Gods for an example, but remember its an early experiment and not perfect) its not completely right, but closer than without.
