Description
Looks better on the *ZOOM* please.
Hi Guys, I hope you all feel good today. I apologise for falling behind with my comments and aim to put that right this very week.
I am so excited about this pic as it is mostly my own painting, and photography. It took me ages to create, especially the old witch with her
millions of wrinkles, (she looks similar to, but is older than the last witch painting I did). I cannot use my wacom intuos3 just now, due to my silly arthritic fingers, so was easier to use my mouse to paint.
I created my own effect brushes, i.e. skin, clouds, tree bark. using CS4 tools/effects.
I painted all of the witch, her clothes, her hat, her jewellery. Also the night sky (from various sky background's I am creating), the old tree, the broomstick, and the rocks. The rest is photography which of course does include the 2 pics of Amy at different ages taken with my Finepix S5000.
Many thanks to the artist's brushes, or 3D items used that I give credit to below, where would I be without them.
A short story - 'It's all about the Love' ...
The old tired witch loved the mother cat, and took notice to follow her, as she appeared distressed. They both soared to the top of the mountain on the trusty old broomstick in search of the mother cat's cheeky beloved kitten.
Eventually they found her perched precariously on a branch of a very old tree! The mother cat knew her loving witch would save her beloved kitten, so set to washing herself and then had a good scratch, feeling safer sitting closely near her.
The old green witch lovingly tried to tempt the kitten away from the spiders web and the occupants within it, by offering her another spider to play with, and as time passed she achieved her mission. You see the witch loved all living creatures, and they responded toward her affectionately.
It is so evident here that the old witch could scare us because we would expect her to after hearing and reading about nasty old witches all of our lives, when in fact she had an abundance of love within her, and is of no threat. She put herself in danger teetering on the edge of that rocky mountain to help the one's she loved.
Once the kitten was saved the witch carefully loaded the felines onto her broomstick, and flew back down the mountain. It wasn't long before she saw her warm welcoming cottage below.
That night all three settled close by the fire, content in knowing they were safe and with the one's they loved. ... THE END
Ok so I am feeling a bit mushy tonight, but hey I thought it would be nice to have a good witch for a change, and always a happy ending :o)

Fantastic creation!
There is so much to admire in this beautifully and fine created image. A very good job you've done, as always! Good witches and cats, they fit well together. Congrats to you, Jane.
What a feast for the eyes! beautiful scene, and a wonderful story! Well done!
Oh my gosh, Jane, this has to be your best work yet! It positively glows with light! Your painting is wonderful, I love that old tree, you did such a wonderful job with it, and that sky! Spectacular! The rocks are wonderfully made. And oh my goodness, that Witch! She is positively beautiful! You've captured the essence of what a witch should be, a loving, caring, nurturing, healing being, not the evil thing that too often she is portrayed as. I can see all the care and love that went into this figure. I love how luminous she appears. Her hair is spectacular, you did a fabulous job of it. I've been trying to work on hair and have not had the success that you have! Oh, and I was looking how wonderfully and skillfully you painted that broom! Your painting skills grow in leaps and bounds from picture to picture! And the cats .. how beautiful they are. You've chosen two very cute pictures of them to work with. It still amazes me how you make that fur look so perfect at the edges. I still struggle with that. I just love this one, Jane!
So wonderful as always, Jane. Cograts!!!!!! Have a nice week-end Lior
