It’s the images around her that give the lady her character Lewis.

Got it the long neck goes back to Parigianino The Madonna with the Long Neck.(Mannerism) 16th century. He started it off.

Yes John. I wasn’t thinking of those artists, when I drew this. I just wanted to draw without references (I often do), so everything is unreal, the flowers are somewhere between a Lilly and an iris. I like the Madonna with the long neck and mannerism in general because they have an unreal feeling. In the Madonna painting one of her feet has an astonishing 3d effect.

I like the idea of you drawing without references Lew and I like your designed flowers! This is a very striking image and your lady is eye balling us demanding attention.

Excellent image Lewis.

A great image Lew that’s skilfully done.

Beautifully painted Lewis, very stylish

Those eyes certainly engage with the viewer. I can just imagine you building this up and the two of you locking eyes as the image developed. Love the colours you chose.

This is very beautiful, I love it !

Perfect Art Nouveau style, The girl ,the colours, the flowers, brilliant.

Love Art Nouveau style, you do it so well

Like Jenny, I love this era and style. Your lady is gorgeous, it’s her hair that does for me, shouts Art Nouveau!

Love the hair, the pout and those eyes … Everything about this demands to be looked at and it does not disappoint. Incredible work Lewis.

Beautiful lady!

Love your art nouveau style Lewis.

I like this style. Girl slightly stylized...long neck...eyes too big. Used some coloured inks-haven't used them in a while. Vivid. I like vivid colour as you can see. Also used watercolour, coloured pencils and pen.

About the Artist
Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
