I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.


--T.S. Eliot "Preludes"

This piece had two different titles, but this one suited it best--although the connection to the poem is probably mostly in my head.

I just really wanted to do a really realistic fantasy piece, with lots of little details. I'll probably upload a print of this to my store sometime in the next few days.

If there's any interest, I'll make it a desktop wallpaper, too.

This is brilliant. The character seems very Fae, just alien and otherworldly. I'm not entirely sure if she's admiring the butterfly or about to spear it with her talons. Beautiful.

Simply stunning. I love the simplicity of it, and the color (I love purple). Great job!
