I've been visualizing this monotype for awhile. I've always loved the pre-raphaelite painters like Millais, Hunt & Rosetti.
I'm most curious about each of their visual interpretations of Arthurian & Greek legends. The paintings are arranged like amazing theatrical stage sets.
This one was done pretty quickly, so it has a sketchy, painterly feel to it. I've added a light wash of watercolor to the first monotype in the line up above. Ophelia is 8 x 6, printed on Ivory Somerset printmaking paper, and painted with Winsor Newton watercolors. It's listed for sale on Ebay this week here. (sold)

This is WONDERFUL, Belinda!! I DO LOVE the painterly feel to it!
Oh my, she really IS lovely!
so beautiful belinda! i think of shakespeare's 'a midsummer night's dream' when i see her!
Ohhhh, you make this look like so much fun. Beautiful!
Belinda, you left out my personal favorite of the pre-raphaelite (style) of artist - John Waterhouse. This is great, I love it. I picked up on the style and subject immediately. You're so cool.
I think it is one of your best
Stunning! I love your style!
Hey Belinda - wow... GREAT drama.
absolutely gorgeous. I just love the texture in your marks...and I'm a huge Rossetti fan myself!
Your work is so satisfying...the knuckle on Ophelia is genius.
