Ophelia! One of my favourite Shakespearian characters, I think a lot of people are drawn to Ophelia! This is my third Ophelia I have painted, and I'm sure I will paint her again. This time it is more of a portrait piece, showing Ophelia still very much alive, eyes sparkling with despair and a hint of madness. You can see the waterlilies in the background and in her hair you can see many of the flowers mentioned in the play. One of my personal favourites. This one debuted at the Celebration Art Stroll in February of 2011 where it was immediately sold, but luckily I took scans so I have prints to offer! These fine art prints are made from my own original acrylic painting. Open Edition prints are on glossy photo paper and measurements include a white mounting border. The 8.5"x11" size fits a standard 8"x10" frame, and the 13"x19" size fits a standard 12"x16" frame. Canvas prints are Hand Embellished, measure 11"x14" and are limited to an edition of 25. The copyright watermark does not appear in the actual print! See below for detail images.
