I love the old style illustrations of yesteryear, so I'm emulating a Collier's Magazine type thing. There is no reason whatsoever for this, except for practice and to try my hand at some "drama". Great illustrators teach us that suggestion is very favorable and that it's desirable to leave things for the viewer to complete with their own eyes.Study: Celeste Bergin, Dark & Light, oil on 9 x 12 canvas panel

I love your creativity, Celeste! This is fantastic!
Hi Celeste,
You right! I see a story developing on the Titanic.
Les photos d'antan étaient beaucoup plus romanesques et tout comme dans cette dernière peinture il s'y dégage une certaine forme de mystère...
J'aime...

This is exactly the idea I've been trying to achieve off and on for several years!
It doesn't describe every detail but instead, invites the viewer in to look around, discover, and stay a spell.
Well done, Celeste!
Words of wisdom! Love the pink underside of her dress. I find adding pink always adds romance to a painting.
really nice Celeste. You are doing just wonderful work.
Thanks for the comment on my blog.
She's almost an apparition--part of the cloud. Very beautiful.
Fabulous! You are a great painter.
Marvelous....
