Creatively infertile? Not a bit of it! Where there's a seed of an idea in your head, there's always a beautiful image in the making. Gorgeous composition and mood setting!

Beautiful image Cathy! Wonderful colour and composition!

Very beautiful image my friend, love everything about this scene....excellent work.

very beautiful work! :-)

Somehow it reminds me of Mucha... Beautiful work, very well crafted!!! Excellent!

This is a lovely, well-composed piece! Great to see something new from you,Cathy.

Cathy this is simply the most lovely image I've seen in so long, wonderful work

She's gorgeous my friend, perfect colors and expression!

Great image !

Looks like Mucha...

This is a stunning creation!

Superbly well posed and composed. A very professional looking piece of work. One of your very best! I think one of your strengths is to us some sort of associated or 'period' graphics in conjunction with your 3D characters - you have a natural flare for that which obviously works well. May be a good idea to pursue that idea. I think you find it interesting doing the various aspects for picture like that and joining them together in Gimp. Once again, you got a great character pose and expression which reminded me of that first one I saw which drew me to your work in the first place.

I love the way you've done this fairy..especially the lattice background, it's really a 10 in my book

Very nice image. Great colours, textures and lighting! Really well done.

It is a real delight to look at this splendid work of yours. Your image is gorgeous and reminds me of some works by Gustav Klimt .

Fantastic image! It all goes together so well it seems your image always existed!

Beautiful character. Good composition.

Reminds me of Alphonse Mucha's work but definately modernized by your skillful hands. I see the Klimt influence too. Outstanding work.

What a wonderful composition ! Exquisite artwork !

very lovely...this would make an excellent tarot card

fabulous work !

Very nice work!

Very creative work. Much like a trading card. Hmmmm... ;~)

nice comments here, I like what peter said (e-brink), and several people mentioned Klimt & Mucha, and one could add Beardsley too...all of them worked with that style & depicted flowing, dancing figures who seemed possessed by something transcendent (even if there was some old-style sexism in some of their images); and maybe Klimt (is mentioned) because your dancing souls seem to engulf your compositions in a way his subjects could. But you always have an independence between person & surrounding, and there's a freedom in that—and that's partly because your backgrounds are so intelligently designed and carry a weight of their own. That is, unlike some of the artists mentioned, your backgrounds aren't often flowing organic 'growths' that flourish & snake around the central figure: They're independent statements of their own. Your love of geometric design mixed with real organic flow—often present in your backgrounds—is infectious and very smart, Cathy, and this background has the texture of old glass, maybe stained or tinted; and the plants grow beautifully to the woman's right (our left) and are complemented by the vines running down her. She's dancing, but self-contained; and boy do I love the back-background (behind your frame): Looks like a lot of fertility symbols are in there. Very fine work, it has the feeling of a gentle dance (she's not dancing wildly [think: The Rite of Spring!]), but gently, as if she knows well enough that what she seeks is well within her; but she dances to coax it out. It's gentle. Fine image, and your palette is golden yellow with wonderful earth tones & some very fine greens & whites. Intelligent heart & passion...

Beautifully done!

This is visually stunning! Both Mark and (anahata.c) and Peter (ebrink) said it all. I see a lot of art deco/art noveau influence here, and your own gorgeous style has made it so much better. I too love how each portion of your pieces could stand on their own, but allow the main focus to clearly shine, you are truly and uniquely excellent at accomplishing this in such a beautiful way as to make the whole piece shine.

Fantastic colours and awesome work...!!! Dear Cathy, really incredible good :)

Marvelous picture... it reminds me of Art Deco's perfection and elegance!
