Lakeside Spirit

I'd almost forgotten the ethereal quality of wax, and the joy of discovery when something unexpected happens.

Like here.

I didn't notice the image of the mysterious lady to start with. I was looking at the painting and wondering how to incorporate the strange shape. I had my stylus poised ready to make trees, then suddenly saw her face. It made me think of Camelot and all things knightly and chivalrous. She had to stay.

The Lakeside Spirit is for sale on Ebay at £4.99.
