Tag As FavoriteComment

The nymph Echo fell in love with Narcissus, the most beautiful of lads. Her spurned her, yet after he fell into the water that would be his death she mourned him in quiet hollows and shadowed caves. Found and drink and pleasures she gave up, until she too died. Now, in those empty places where she pined away for Narcissus only the sound of her voice remains.

Hiya! Beautiful pic, I forsee many great works from you. As for your art teacher, I think I understand his/her concern, but not only do you have a reason for painting Echo facing out, but the trees and the log she is sitting on draw the eye into the painting effectively anyway!

Hey cool pic 2
i once had a fairy princess her name was willow she lived by a river. She caught many fish, she taught many people how to fish, but she never found a prince until one a young man came her way....
Her hair was long, yellow and brown. Her skin tone was white the color of white ash. Her body was slender and delicate, don't be fooled by her looks she had a beautiful home under her willow tree. this prince had to be home by
4180 pm every day so he could fly with his dragon.
she came after a while. Now she's married to another prince8
