Water of Water.

I was thinking of putting something floating on the water, and something half-visible in it, ala Escher's Three Worlds, but nothing really came together for it. And the ripple effect I was talking about for the reflection was either too subtle, or too much. So - simplify!

The other day I was out behind the Museum, looking down at the gently rippling water, and noticing the way the sun's reflection turned into wobbly searing loops of brightness, that left wavering afterimage trails. It was pretty cool. Someday I'll use that to create some impressionistic water - but not in this image.

Still just a day behind schedule, too.

That's really pretty, and my favorite color scheme, too! I like the fact that there's nothing floating in the water, and that we can barely see any of the figure that's not reflected. It's nicer this way.

Ooh!!! That's terrific!

Readers are gonna hate you because it looks reversed!

Which was my deliberate intent. *grin*

Or maybe I felt that confusion says something about the kind of person being depicted here...

I like that!

even though most people remember Escher for "weird pictures of stairs," it's his drawings of reflections that most appeal to me.

Again, marvelous job.

I love how you do emotional expressions.
