"Beloved"




This weeks entry for Illustration Friday the theme is: "Ghost". I will be entering this piece into the Black and Orange contest as well.

I've had this picture of this glowing ghost like image of a girl in my collection for awhile now, waiting for her place... I bought it from a little antique store near my house. I will have to e-mail Diane, the owner of this little shop, she likes to see pieces I create with photos and ephemera purchased from her store.

I created this piece on 4 x 4 inch clayboard. I love the texture created with the handmade paper and layers of paint that became the ground she stands on (or hovers over). I used an image of a girl 2 crows and a moon. I handpainted the tombstone and a mansion in the background.

Thanks for looking

I really like this - but can you explain why girls going for their first communion seem so evil? Strange, but true....

Very calm and beautiful. She's not going to haunt anybody I think.

The ground texture is so effective... and I love the orange moon... it truly has a 'surreal' and somewhat creepy feel to it... great stuff.
