The Dawning

The beautiful background in this painting was inspired by the wonderful designs of William Morris. I could spend hours browsing through fabrics and wallpapers getting ideas from his work. Normally when I begin a new piece, I start with the face, and as the painting unfolds, and I begin get to know the character, the rest of the painting seems to fall into place. This was a little different as I had to create a character that would fit in nicely with this backgroud. The result was The Dawning and this lovely girl who's old fashioned face compliments the softness and colors of the background perfectly.
