Artist's Comments

The pencil sketch for this drawing was done in August 2007. I shamefully neglected it because of my thesis :XD: but now that I found it again I figured I might as well finish it - so here it is in all its glory

Beltaine is a Celtic spring festival celebrating not only spring itself but also love and sexuality. Furthermore, legend has it that Beltaine is one of those points of the year where the borders between our world and the other world of Tír na nÓg or the Fairy Realm are open.

In the drawing, the woman is clearly an immortal, a woman of the sídhe or a fairy - if not even the fairy queen herself. ;) The man is a mortal human and yet, in spite of the rules, he's in love with her....

:D Lovely! And my goodness, all of those tiny leaves...I would have gotten sloppy less than half of the way through inking them, but each one here is as delicate as the next...Wonderful work! :clap:

:wow:

Oh my gosh . . . Those willow leaves!! :heart: Mirjam, wow! They're so lovely!! =D Ahaha, now I know what you meant about that aching hand . . . :XD:

In partcular, I love the orb of light that picks out their figures. You should try painting with watercolours, I really think it'd compliment your style. :nod:

:hug: thanks for the praise - you just made me smile after a most horrible morning (my aunt died last night)
:XD: you can bet that my hand ached after drawing all those leaves, I certainly cursed them after a while

the orb of light is courtesy Photoshop *lol*

huh watercolours, yeah, they'd be worth a try but I'm terribly out of practice. perhaps if I have a bit more time
