Description
My influence map..is full of pretty ladies.And especially,
1. Rebecca Guay's ethereal paintings.They are so beautiful,i can stare at them for hours.It was very hard to choose but that one up there is probably one of my most favourites.I can almost hear the birds and music from her flute..
2. Alphonse Mucha's clean lines.And pretty ladies.
3. John William Waterhouse's paintings.I always found there's something slightly melancholic about his pictures and usually solitary women but that makes them even more enchanting to me.It makes me want to create such paintings that will make others wonder about the people in them.
4. Fantasy-medieval-ish illustrations.Ruth Sanderson (whose painting is up there) is one of my favourites on the field.
5. =Nachan is one of my favourite artists on Deviantart.A great inspiration when i began using watercolours,it was very hard to choose only one from her striking artworks but her portraits are my favourites and especially that one.
6. Fashion/portrait photography.I adore Annie Leibovitz's work,especially her celebrity portraits for Vanity Fair.
7,8. Portraits,the old school type.You know,kings and queens and other royalty.A duchess Millicent from Sutherland (by John Singer Sargent ) and Mary II of England (by Willem Wissing) always make me want to draw/paint something..if only as beautiful.
9. I'm sure that it has been pretty clear that the beauty of women is what inspires and influences my work (or the paintings including women that is) the most.Among those beauties who have influenced mine are many actresses,like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn but Bryce Dallas Howard..is what you could call my muse.Why do you think most of my women are redheads?
10. Ballet.Has been a great part of my life.A great love and inspiration,it has a big impact on my feelings and ideals and ideas.
11. Fashion illustration and particularly David Downton's illustrations.
12. Fantasy films,with Lord of the Rings making top.The colours and imagery and costumes (of the elves mainly) have certainly influenced my tastes.
13. Enya's music has been a never-ending source of inspiration.It has been many times that a particular song playing will affect the theme,colours and mood of a painting/drawing.
14. Film scores.They affect my mood and feelings and therefore my work.The soundtrack from Brideshead Revisited (2008) for example has produced many wistful and melancholic drawings.You really need to listen to [link] and [link] to understand..
..And lots of other things but they wouldn't fit all.

I think a lot of the red-heads give it away too.
