    Hi, Ally, excellent composition with diagonal and vertical lines. But beyond that, I love the details, that make me feel a researcher at your artwork. discovering this and that
    the bird reminded me, the painting "the collonade in Versailles" by Giovanni Boldini http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/giovanni-boldini?before=1344422172
    where you can see a dove flying, but just vanished.
    OK. Ally, this is another of your masterpieces which I admire!
    Have a nice weekend :))))))))

      Thank you Roberto for your kind words! I took a good look at the Boldini painting as you suggested. The dove is very difficult to make out, but sometimes those elusive details are the best of all. That must be why so many like the "Where's Waldo" children's books. Ciao, and have a lovely weekend!!

    Hi, Ally, your question is correct. Why not bare-chested gauchos?
    And my answer is simple, I am a man, I like to see and draw the female body. but perhaps I could draw a man bare-chested. is likely.

    Thank you very much for your comment!!
    I'll remember :)

      Hi Roberto, No pressure...I was just being cheeky! Actually a fully clothed gaucho - along with his horse - would make for an interesting illustration. Ciao.

Illustration Friday Theme: Imagination

This is my posting for this week's Illustration Friday theme, Imagination. In many cultures, the raven was a symbol of communication with the imagination, and subconcious. It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.

Illustration Friday Theme: Totem

This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
