Another piece in my "Visions" project: an ongoing exploration of fantasy; pre-Raphaelite; and Victorian classicism inspired images.
This particular image is part of a shoot I did a couple of years ago, featuring a young novelist (age 12, to be exact!) dressed as one of the elves, from her first novel. Although you can't see very well--that is one of her friends (the model from "Young Madonna", actually) lying in her lap. The bit of light color you see is her arm, peeping through a gap in her pseudo-Renaissance sleeve. The title "Fallen Angel" was suggested by my interpretation of the image--a young elf cradling a fallen companion's head in her lap...I think she was drowned, somehow--which is why the textures in the image are meant to suggest seaweed and other aquatic plant life. After naming the piece--I realized that the expression I took for the stark grief of someone who cannot weep--could also be seen as a combination of purity and a sort of guilt--which gives the title a dual meaning. Perhaps she somehow had a part in her companion's drowning--or feels guilty about it somehow... (I'll leave the actual story to UKTara--who is far more suited than I to the task!  ) |

I wish you didn't grow up so quickly. Oswald can see that ere long he will be too old for the kind of games we can all play, and he feels grown-upness creeping inordiously upon him. But enough of this.

This one has more color than the others and your subject sands out a little clearer.
Your description with the piece is wonderful. Sad, tragic.
The texture you chose is fitting and adds much to the piece.
You can tell there is a story in this young girls eyes.
Beautiful image.
But yes--they realy ARE good at expressing that--it comes so naturally to them, doesn't it?!
