Artist: Murasaki Shikibu- c. 973-1014 or 1025. She was a Japanese novelist, poet and lady-in-waiting at the Imperial Court in the Heian period. She was best known for the work "The Tale of Genji". Murasaki continued to write while serving the Empress Shoshi, and retired to the Lake Biwa region after depicting court life in many of her works.
Album title from John Lennon-
Now and then I miss you
Oh, now and then I want you to be there for me
Always return to me
I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if you go away
I know you'll never stay
Masterfully done, Ann at first I did not recognize the painting because of whatever you added to the top that looks like leaves or feathers. Only when I saw the pearl did I realize it was. I also like the treatment of texture and color you have added. This one is amazing.FAV
@amyk@grammyn Yes- that's the one. I didn't add anything Katy. It's a Van Gogh application from the Night Studio Cafe program. This is actually a sculpture at the New Jersey Grounds for Sculpture and I think what you see as feathers are leaves from the shaded area where this statue was on display.
Thank you all- I really liked this combo. Finding the right artist was tricky. At first I thought I'd use some recent pictures of my granddaughter Leigh, but she was smiling too much for the title. So went to the archives and found something from the New Jersey Grounds for Sculpture which displays 3 D sculptures of famous paintings. This was the Girl with an Earring. Her tentative look worked well for the title I think.
A quick reply and post tonight- I'll be back tomorrow to catch up!
