Ophelia

Drawn on December 27, 2010

I happened to flip though a magazine and found a picture like this,
I have to draw it , I speak to myself.
Those desirable red lips and facial expression,
the colour palette, all so perfect.
So I spend like three days on it.
Not that the magazine imply anything, but I happened to found it familiar.

Like Millais's Ophelia, and Klimt's Danaë.
The composition and atmosphere.
Girl in water, dying, with floatings flowers.
while Danaë, is being visited by the golden shower of god Zeus.

P.S. Danaë is a character in greek myth while Ophelia is a character in Shakespear's play Hemlet.
