Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Painted green spooky lady with her monochromatic green overtone...
She's the green lady of the house as if she's a jilted bridesmaid whose bast man didn't show up during her elder sister's wedding.
Excellent entry.
Good luck!
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for your poetic review!
She's the famous witch. She's Elphaba from Gregory Maguire's The Wicked Years. She's the star o the Broadway musical Wicked.

A definite contender for the "green" contest. Very vibrant. Soothing in a mother nature kind of way. I love the splashes of hot pink in the flowers. Great facial expression. Nice locks of blonde hair rather than black as would be expected of a witch. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much.
It is not for the Green contest, but for the Halloween. She is Gregory Maguire's famous witch from The Wicked Years and the Musical Wicked.
Comment from Jean A Cormier
This is lovely, Cleo, soft and glowing face and hair but still believable! I like the suggestion of the surroundings, dreamy feeling to the landscape and particularly attractive is the aqua blue on the right side and how it works well with the bright pink! Lovely! Jean

Comment from donkeyoatey
GREAT stuff..I of course read the series, although I think it was aimed more at women than men, and had a bit of a slanted view..made me laugh, and made me identify with the poor green gal! This is very nice treatment of her, giveing her looks and dignity..I hope all who see this will at least pick up and read one of those books! Donkeyoatey

ME too!!! At least one know right now who she is.
Thank you for that, my knowing and always understanding friend.l The books are wicked. I love the characters; but of curse I cannot help myself. I have my own take on them. Artist's License. I called her originally Elfalba/Elphalba for the slightly different take on the story, but thought I would get 50% reviews telling me it's written wrong. HA,ha, it wouldn't make a different. Surprisingly, nobody knows her. Most people don not realize her for Halloween, but say she is perfect in the Green contest. [I just checked if I posted in the wrong contest in accident.] The kitty bed above was planned for GRRR, the coward Lion.

This so deserves 6 stars but I don't have any left. Your technique is just beautiful, I love the colors and brush strokes and the way you framed it. Very talented indeed.
