New Waterhouse

I thought I knew Waterhouse's paintings pretty well, but apparently there's always at least one more of anything.



Sorry for the crazy hugeness, but it's such a great painting.

Anyway, one of the guy's in this year's Nano, he's a painter. So I poked around online a bit to find things in the style I thought he'd do, found a few good portraits from the era. And right now he's working on a portrait of Ophelia, using the heroine as a model, so I went to look for more art. And I found that, which is pretty astounding. In the book it's Ophelia sitting by the lake, on a bench. As for the real life painting, I really like how Waterhouse did her hair, and expression.
