Description
"On the ocean that hollows the rocks where ye dwell,
A shadowy land has appeared, as they tell;
Men thought it a region of sunshine and rest,
And they called it o'Brazil - the isle of the blest.
From year unto year on the ocean's blue rim,
The beautiful spectre showed lovely and dim;
The golden clouds curtained the deep where it lay,
And it looked like Eden, far away." ~Gerald Griffen~
Found this wonderful poetry to fit the image. In a land long ago and far away I played a character on this island. This was done for those who played with me, as well as a special and dear sister of the soul...Hugs Fata sis...
Graphite on bristol, some post work in PSP, ie: Smudging, airbrushing etc...
Enjoy...
and to all who have taken the time to bless me with the lovely words of encouragement, may you all someday find your Hy-Brasil....

I love the colors in this one ! :) .... Done with a lot of feeling :) .. The poetry is very beautiful too ... and goes quite well with the picture :) .. Excellent Drawing :)
Very beautiful artwork. I must know how U got that effect on there. Any special Action Set or what U got there? Nice artwork, very nice.
awwww thank you everyone, and corn it is nothing 'special' other than some minor airbrushing on the pic. It's mostly the black graphite pencil, then a great deal of 'smudging' in Paint Shop Pro followed by intensifying the colors via PSP and here she is... :)
Oh so lovely! Wonderful verse to go with this image.
