Ophelia
Ophelia
Was she mad, did she slip, did she jump or was she pushed….traditional thought is she committed suicide because of a broken heart …. but it’s open to interpretation.

Tracey Mac
Love your take on Ophelia Shan, so dreamy and those sublime blues!!
Shanina Conway replied
Thanks Tracey…she’s a little bit of a cross between Nick Cave’s “Where the Wild Roses Grow and the Bards Hamlet ;)
Alf Caruana
Millais would be proud of this one, brilliant work. I have always dreamed of reproducing his Ophelia, this is perfect
Shanina Conway replied
Alf thank you and I’m really flattered….we all have to do an Ophelia at sometime…bit like an actor having to play Hamlet;)
Mary Ann Reilly
nicely done.
amanda marx
such beautiful work shanina . . . your interpretations are always so easy to fall in love with . . . i’m guessing the prince of denmark has a lot to answer for . . . pushed to suicide ? love gone mad ? ophelia’s sublime image will live on long after hamlet’s name is all but forgot . . .
Shanina Conway replied
Amanda thank you hon;) it’s a fascinating tale and Hamlet may be the star but Ophelia will, as you say live on long….

You are on a Roll. Amazing details as always my dear. I’m tired for you.L.O.L
Ohh don’t change your title of your last piece to “Sushi Anyone?” I was thinking that phrase would make a great T shirt design for that lovely piece. Let me know what you think. xo

she didn`t jump she wasn`t pushed she slipped
sorry to burst any bubbles it was just an accident
Shanina Conway replied
HI Charlie, not bursting any bubbles…there’s always practical magic at work…but the idea of sacrificing all for love is an immortal theme;)
