Wow! You worked wonders with this portrait. I love the ethereal feel you achieved here. It seems
you captured the essence and personality of the subject. I also love the indignant expression on her face. A totally misunderstood super villain. Your choice of both color are out of this world. Thanks for sharing.

A very striking image. I like the ghostly skin and the tormented eyes. An excellent composition with fine colors and more than a touch of the supernatural.

Excellent digital art painting, Cleo, showing the wicked Fairy Grandmother. Great use of colours and excellent detail in the hair and headdress. Very good light and shade. Love the expression on her face. Excellent composition. Suzanne

Comment from Sange


She certainly looks made up as the wicked Fairy Godmother from Sleeping Beauty.
You did a fabulous job on her ghostly complexion and that incredible crown showing just delicate brush strokes.
My only favorite thing that is Wicked is Elphaba.
;)
Amazing work Cleo Girl!
Finally something I can review if yours!
Glad you received her.
Well done ;)

Cleo, very appropriate for this time of year :)

I really like how you handled the colors to bring out all you said in your comments.

She has an almost sad, bewildered look about her that shows class as well.

Very well done.

Comment from ArtistCarl


This is bothersome to me. It is not one I would like to see framed on my wall in the living room. That said, I acknowledge that it does the job of creating an emotional impact on the viewer with that frightening judgemental expression. Proportions are excellent and the just slightly off center placement of that ghostly pale face and upper chest is riveting. Excellent use of purple in the dress and the faint figures above the head accentuates the ghostly feel of this painting. Reasons for my six star vote.

    Thank you very much for your interesting observations, encouraging comments and your generous six-star rating.
    The lady is a ballerina who danced Carabosse on stage and a friend of mine. She liked her portrait.
    I understand your feelings that you would not hang the portrait on your wall. :o)

    You are welcome. Just to confirm, I was not judging the person. I was critiquing only the painting.

    I know. I just gave information that this is a living person, not a fantasy. :o)

    OK, good. Then we are on the same page. Cool.

Your Wicked Fairy Grandmother looks very realistic. I like the way how you represent her emotions. The colors appear very natural. Good job!

Comment from Len Shood


A very nice work cleo. Colours and composition are spot on.
You have caught the air of wickedness extremely well and scarily enough she does remind me of an old girlfriend ... a tribute to your skills and I'm sure it wasn't deliberate :-)

    Thank you very much! I am sure that is not your old girlfriend. She is an actor and a friend of mine. :o)
