| Honest! I almost painted her a blonde. The teal hair was just a last
minute whim. At first I thought it looked too odd till I put the stream in. I
made the streambed teal mainly because many mountain streams and lakes are laden with
glacial silt, so they appear blue, green or teal in various lights. The skull of some
unfortunate who fell to her seductions lies rotting at her feet in the rushing water. This
was my first experiment with Woodland Scenics "Water Effects". Also was my first
ever "raiding of the spice rack" for leaf debris. I really like these old
Ral Parthas. A repaint of a previously painted miniature Painted February 2003. |
