DP: Nelumbo nucifera or Just a fairytale … December 2006



Nelumbo nucifera

I finally finished this painting I started many months ago. The whole scene started with this medusa, her dress and the sacred lotus flower. An imaginative story about the meeting of medusa and a water nymph who tries to persuade her ( using the magic of the flower) to come closer to the edge of the water (sinister intensions.. no doubt ) somewhere in a forest far far away.The waternymph is trying to mimic the medusa to make her less suspicious. Seeing beyond the masquerade of what appears to be just a beautifully dressed woman, she takes on the appearance of a horrible creature….
Initial sketching and design was done in Painter. When it was halfway done I imported it into Photoshop and never went back.

    My favorite aspect of digital art is simply the detail that can be rendered. My one frustration with digital art is how much is lost.

    Your balance in this piece speaks volumes for the skills you’ve developed. Cheers.
