The Mad Queen Ardeliah
You will see this on another art site, under the ID of Eclectia. That is because Eclectia is me. So is DSWilde! Anything bad you read about either is only borne out of jealousy. * grin * Here is what the description says:
I was inspired by a wonderful photograph of some stairs in France (you can find it in my favorites) to finish this piece.
Took me several hours to complete – not quite sure how many severals but more than usual, I can tell you!
I have many variations that now I must decide to toss or keep. This is how I end up with a room cluttered by disks!
Thank you for the inspiration, handsome man whose name I forget!
This illustration is for a story I started long ago, which has altered much over time, and so far is just something I amuse myself with. It is being considered to finally set it down all in words and to send it out into the world. I’m a little hesitant as once it is penned (so to speak) it will be permanently as written and. . well .. I guess all children must grow up and be what they will, even the ones we create in our minds and with our hands. Yes?
and here is what the handsome man, whose name I forget had to say:

Michael Kienhuis
Yum! Great image!
Arletta replied
How “infinitely biteable” of you to say so!
Arletta replied
ahem That’s a good thing, by the way! Not like “bite me!” at all lol
Michael Kienhuis
It’s a terrific image! Love the color and staircase.
Arletta replied
Oh yes! The staircase! It was all the fault of the staircase, really! If I hadn’t seen that staircase (information given above as to whose fault that is) then this would not exist. It’s lovely in the photograph of it, too, and slightly less wonky looking!
Arletta replied
Thank you! It’s from a character in my book. Err .. or it will be… I wrote stuff about the character, and she will be in at least a book or two of at least one series, but so far just the first book is published and she’s not in it yet. So she will being is to have do be in the book.. .sort of. Which, if you knew anything about the series, would probably make more sense LOL

From time to time we are granted windows of opportunity, to look in and see a different reality! A picture that tells a thousand stories….in harmony with our imagination! What a beautiful interpretation, of yours!S

Wow.. your comments! If you aren’t a writer, you probably should be! That was beautiful. Thank you!

Fantastic Arletta!! Congrats on feature!
Arletta replied
Thank you, Prasad!
Karl Eschenbach
Thank you for the comment you made about my image. I like yours as well. Excellent composition, with a bit of mystery to it. Where do those stairs go to?
Arletta replied
Thank you. Uhm.. it’s not where the stairs go to, but where they came from. Which, in reality is France lol But, as far as her reality, they come from her madness. Which has a good bit to do with the ship in the distance, which may or may not be her son’s ship and may or may not exist. No one ever asks about the ship, though on Red Bubble it is much harder to see than it was on the other site which shall remain unnamed.

WOW….a multi-layered spiraling into or out of madness and time.
As complex as life itself.. and a fantastic adventure to behold!!!
Awesome work Arletta!!!
Arletta replied
Cool! Thank you. The ‘cool’ being that you described it pretty much to a t- and beautifully.
