Thank you : ) unfortunately the digital camera killed real colours, now the light parts are a bit too white, but i dont feel like fixing it with a computer program, i'm afraid i would mess things even more. Anyway, happy you like it (btw a fan brush is the trick for painting leaves or flowers on a tree).
Die Loreley by @malvasia (Cristina Marsi)
...Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet Dort oben wunderbar, Ihr goldenes Geschmeide blitzet, Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme Und singt ein Lied dabey; Das hat eine wundersame, Gewaltige Melodei.
Den Schiffer, im kleinen Schiffe, Ergreift es mit wildem Weh; Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe, Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh´... (H.Heine)
...The loveliest maiden is sitting High-throned in yon blue air, Her golden jewels are shining, She combs her golden hair;.
She combs with comb that is golden, And sings a weird refrain That steeps in a deadly enchantment The listener's ravished brain:
The doomed in his drifting shallop, Is tranced with the sad sweet tone, He sees not the yawing breakers, He sees but the maid alone:... (translation by M.Twain)

I love the way you have done this paint. The colors are bright and very naturals. The hair of the Lorely looks lovely, like there were full of sun. And the tree is very well done - He really looks like in a photography !
