The Three Muses Challenge

This week's challenge was "Victorian Elegance" and this is my creation.  I really need to participate in more of these challenges to keep me from getting in a rut.  I've always loved doing works on commission for the very same reason, but when trying to decide what the customers who shop on Etsy might want, I tend to resort to my "rut".  I really enjoy being challenged by someone else's ideas.  Nothing beats a good muse! http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/

    Beautiful, beautiful, artwork.
    Your lady looks deep in thought. I bet she's trying to decide what shoes to wear with that gorgeous dress.

    Hi, your piece is quite intriguing. At first sight, romantic and soft, but when I looked closely those ghostly figures behind her I thought of haunted houses and restless spirits.

    Thank you so much! I thought it was a bit ghostly, too...very chilly.

    Nice of you to comment.

    Have just had a good look around your blog and really enjoyed what I saw but this is my favourite! Is it digital or 3d?

    By the way thanks for your visit to my blog
