Under the influence (part 1)

Still working on stuff, so thought I'd post some of the artists I'm most inspired by. My all time favourite painter is John William Waterhouse, who painted females intertwined with nature and mythology. I wish I could paint faces like his. Here are a few examples:


Hylas and the Nymphs (detail), 1896


Hylas and the Nymphs (detail), 1896


Ophelia, 1889




The Lady of Shallot, 1888
