146 - VARIATION ON BURNE JONES' MERLIN - DAVE EDWARDS - WATERCOLOUR - 2005
I wasn’t happy with this, so I have altered it and I am happy now :))
Burne Jones is one of my favourite artists ever. I wouldn’t attempt to do a straight copy of his work but this is one of his paintings done in my own style.

I think I’ve seen the rest of this batch but can’t remember this one Dave. You have a wide range of subjects but this one is about the most figurative. I like it.

It is actually a variation on Burne-Jones’ painting The Beguiling of Merlin.

The background is much more harmonious now. Great stuff!
Brian Towers, 5 months ago
Yes, I reckon the new verson works a bit better Dave; more tone and contrast. Do you experiment with computer changes first to see what the results might be before repainting?

ok ok, this is so weird
honestly, i thought i commented on this before, i mean after, i mean before this comment after you put it up for the second time, after ur adjustments.
COMMENT:
i can honestly say that i can enjoy it much much more now. the richer colours r way more pleasing to the eye. i forgot to mention before the tiny detail of me loving the sky behind, the stripes rock)

You like stripes, don’t you. Chocolate stripes would probably be Zed’s idea of heaven on earth.
