Portrait of Ophelia

One of my favourite Shakespearian characters, I think a lot of people are drawn to Ophelia! This is my third Ophelia I have painted, and I'm sure I will paint her again. This time it is more of a portrait piece, showing Ophelia still very much alive, eyes sparkling with despair and a hint of madness. You can see the waterlilies in the background and in her hair you can see many of the flowers mentioned in the play. One of my personal favourites. This one debuted at the Celebration Art Stroll in February of 2011 where it was immediately sold, but luckily I took scans so I have prints to offer! My own original acrylic painting. ©Jasmine Becket-Griffith - prints are available at http://www.strangeling.com and http://zazzle.com/strangeling*

Stunningly beautiful - and sad... This is a gorgeous piece of art. No wonder the original was immediately sold. Good for the buyer!

Jasmine I believe this is my favorite of all your artworks. Her eyes are soulful and real and stunning.
