Ophelia's Demise

great poetic work

Oh Thomas, one day you have me in a romantic Waterhouse state and the next you drag me back (willingly of course) to your side of the woods. I suppose that is a very wordy way of putting, I dig this just as I dig all of your work. ;) On a side note, I would love to see a close up of her torso section and put it in the side bar, to often I think the amazing detail that you do gets lost by the fact that the picture size can only be so big here.

Shakespeare, the old boy, would be proud to see such a display of his dear Ophelia.

Nice interpretation of a well-known piece of art..

oh… that’s creepy… everyone’s been talking about death and dead people today.

A brilliant image though, I love how real the water looks, especially where her feet are submerged in it, the face coloring looks realistic… brrr… I’m going to have a nightmare now I just know it! :-P

Gorgeous my dear…. this turned out so beautifully and I love that scene! perfection from you!

oh the wonderful story of ophelia, i must say tis a favourite!
thomas once again your masterful techniques shine through.
wonderful muted tones, adore her clothing and this looks so positively painterly. she looks so beautiful floating there dead.
;-) xox

excellent portrayal of one of the most tragic figures in literature. love the ethereal quality to the water.

AWESOME!!!

Damn! what happened to her? Somebody knocked her out?

lol

LOL! xo

You are an original although the feel is definitely Waterhouse …......
Maybe you are his incarnate ? lol
Very beautiful !

Have I told you today how good I think you are?

Another amazing and emotive work….sooooo painterly…Brilliant work, Thomas!!

Very compelling, excellent work.

A cord struck with the visual representation of a great man’s work. This scene has always dragged me into myself where the deepest feelings hide.

The rust on the water is a nice touch. Well done Thomas.

Another fave :-) x x

Ah, see! Now I can capture the detail of the bodice and her expression much better, without squinting till my glasses fall from my face and plop onto my keyboard. I also like the fact I can see more detail in the layering.

One can never be to sure with you. Your so masterful in getting things into those layers one can miss if not looking closely. You sly devil you.

great piece as usual… yup!

wonderful that you added the closeup! thanks for asking for it Amanda… So nice to see a little more closely all the work in the layers

Another beautiful success. Gorgeous.

Beautiful, Thomas!

You are so good Thomas. Perfect masterwork. Yes, I think it is one of the best illustrations with the Ophelia – theme I ever saw. Beautiful and tender. Everyhing slides in so well. A joy for the eye !
Thanks for the close – up. Love the hands, the expression in the face and the fine detail of the corset…
Well done again my friend,
Anna

Very poetic !
Love it.

AWESOME as always Thomas!

No insult Thomas …just an observation.
I really like your image :)))

Thanks Jennifer – actually – this was shot in the water… Halley was quite the trouper (as usal) and submerged herself in the muddy, mucky creek so I could get this shot.

I bet you have really interesting nightmares…

Wow… Real swampy water??? The things you get women to do for you Mr Dodd… Can you get them to walk across it as well? ;-)

‘Tis a brilliantly, talented piece of work, and yes, due to my inability to decipher reality from fantasy sometimes… I am prone to having some very, interesting nightmares!

xox

Congratulations on having this exquisite work featured!

WOW! A really stellar interpretation of one of my favourite pieces! I love the pre-Raphaelites.
As usual, you are a genius!

to put it simply Thomas .... “simply beautiful”

A gorgeous romantic image!

Sadly…the genius thing is usually only appreciated …you know…after…

Beautiful. The Millais painting is one of my favourites and is incredible to see up close. I have read that he spent between eight and nine months on and off painting it.

The painting of Ophelia is one of my favs, this is a great interpretation. lovely image.

Eloquent and beautiful – superb portrayal of this seminal piece of literature.

STUNNING !!!!!!!!!!

i am obsessed with the Ophelia character

I LOVE this.. I have always been drawn to pieces about Ophelia. There is something about her story.. in intrigues me. Gorgeous treatment, absolutely stunning composition.. wow.

This is spot on and reminds me of this famous scene in Hamlet, so much. Well done indeed.

this is really beautiful-an excellent blend of photo and texture, that goes beyond the technical.

Incredible image, the texture and detail as well as the reference, Well Done!

Awesome as always!

Brilliant brilliant briliiant

中国有一句话：欲仙欲死！模特的手表现特好！会说话的手！！意境很美！！

Wow… A PRB masterpiece brought into the future you’ve retained the desperate spirit of Millais. This is gorgeous. Well done, I love the way you work. Have an inspirational weekend:)
