Entranced by the illusion of hope, she let life pass her by
Giving in to the goading of my dark side 🙂 I decided to go against custom… Hope gives great solace, but oft times we’d rather keep hoping than living in the now…

Fantastic work and what a beautiful image. I love the way the women in the grass turned out Painted. Super cool tree too!
Thank you Sherry McBriar … had to redo the woman several times since she seemed over done or underdone. I might go back and visit it in the future.
Glad to help out Mariano Vadillo.. if you use CS5 or older, try the Pixel bender plugin from the adobe labs site.
Really nice and just the right amount of painterly effect!
Thank you so much Craig Stilson
