"She craved a presence beside her, solid. Fingertips light at the nape of her neck and a voice meeting hers in the dark. Someone who would wait with an umbrella to walk her home in the rain, and smile like sunshine when he saw her coming. Who would dance with her on her balcony, keep his promises and know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever he was, with just her and his arms and his whisper and her trust.”
Laini Taylor, from her novel 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone'

Be it known loud and clear that I have an irrepressible romantic heart. And when I saw this young couple I simply could not resist painting them. This is the second painting in my newly decided upon series of romantic artwork called 'Smitten' depicting young love in all its glory.
See you next week everyone! Huzzah!
Crystal, this is so awesome. A wonderful tribute to young love. I do remember...:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol. :) I remember too. :))
DeleteDear Crystal,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the dramatic work. Very interesting to see how the interpreted text comes up in the work. Keep up the romantic series.
Kind regards,Sadami
Thank you Sadami! I am really looking forward to painting more. :)
DeleteSome things you never forget, Crystal!! This is soooo beautiful. I hope you paint more of these!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilda! I agree, first love is hard to forget! I plan to paint more right away. :)
DeleteLOVE it! and yay, I just got that book! Can't wait to read :)

ReplyDeleteThank you Pragya!
DeleteI think this is a great idea and will look forward to further "romantic art"
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris! It will be fun. :))
DeleteAmazing!! You are on a roll, gorgeous paintings = sold paintings. So proud and excited for you:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie! I have really been blessed lately. But I did throw a painting away last night that just was NOT working, so I guess that evens it out. :)
DeleteI can't wait to hang it : )
ReplyDelete:))))
DeleteWow, very powerful and emotional painting. It could be happy or sad... depending on the mood the viewer is in!
ReplyDeleteFantabulous!
Thank you Nora! I like to think it's happy after sad. :)
DeleteI can't help wondering how you got the photo! Were you hiding behind a tree? Lol!
ReplyDeleteI love the subjects you choose and I think that the fact we can't see their faces is very clever because it can appeal to anybody at all. I'm amazed at the gloss in their hair! You have made look so alive! If you see them again, can you ask them what shampoo they use? ;0)
He he! I actually found this photo on a website of copyright free photos for artists to paint from. But I wish I could have seen them so I could ask them! :)
DeleteIl est bon de retrouver vos oeuvres après plus de 6 semaines d'absence... Je rentre tout juste des Philippines...
ReplyDeleteUne peinture remplie de ravissement et de sentiment...
Gros bisous
Thank you Martine! And welcome back! Hope you enjoyed your trip to the Philippines. :)
DeleteIt's really amazing -- full of emotions and so expressive through body language, although little of the body and no face is actually shown. The hair are painted with beautiful, free-flowing brush strokes, and really harmonious color. The composition is unusual and unique -- and really, how did you get the reference photo?!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Arena! That is a great compliment! And I found the photo on a copyright free website. :))
Deletelots of emotion and feeling in this piece crystal..i like the boldness of it ... look foward to the next in the series
ReplyDeleteTHanks so much Jane! :)
DeleteLove how it looks like an abstract in the way the angles, colors and light play with each other! expressive story telling in paints :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you SO much Meera! That's exactly what I was after. Expressive story telling. :)
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you karen. :)
DeleteSuperb picture.. I like it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Babu!
DeleteThis is a perfect series for your work. With the luminous watercolours you create, doing a series on love and romance is perfect. Beautiful piece and congrats on the sale!
