i am a teensy bit obsessed with geisha stuff so this might seem like a stretch but i definitely thought this painting was very relevant to the illustration friday theme...i mean: costume, make-up, painted set in the background, drama...Theater!
Very nice work, and I think it totally passes for the topic...but I did fleas for "fleeting" so what do I know:)Great work on your blog, Can't wait to see more!
I thought it was just me! I have watched and read Memoirs of a Geisha so many times it's just crazy. Love this illustration. It's more like fine art!!! She is beautiful. I adore the look on face! So theatrical and yes mysterious and dare I say, a little sexy too. Great style you have. thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate it!
I would think that her whole life would be something of "theater"--certainly the make-up and the way she dresses, but also all of her actions and the way she presents herself in the world. Where is the REAL woman? Or, once a geisha, that's all she is? (I haven't read Memoirs of a Geisha--I probably should)
Very nicely done. It fits the theme if you think of the stereotype of Kabuki Theatre--where traditionally there is often a male actor playing a Geshia.
vAdrienne, I'm new to your blog and I have to tell you...I just love, love,love your style! Is it pen and ink and then watercolors? The lines are so important in your work and they play beautifully against the softer colors.
