I have a half-finished painting on the easel (ok, it's really on the living room floor) that I've been re-considering lately. I think it's Ophelia. I've always thought so, I guess. She's floating in the water, but something is missing. Not just the flowers.
I think her body needs a coat of gesso; to make her pasty-white with a tinge of blue and red underneath. A la Misty Mawn:
Sort of. Really more this one.
With flowers for her eyes or hair.
Love this Kristin Vestgard painting, "Little Hunter."
Keeping the water blue, of course. You can see some other paintings that inspire me here on my Pinterest page.
