Three Muses - Victorian

 This is a sort of somber "take" on this week's challenge.   I've been having a bit of trouble communicating with my muse this week.   I think she's pouting because, after one warm, sunny day, we're back to rain and chilly.   I know just how she feels.   I hope the sun's shining in  your world, blog friends. Thanks for stopping by!

  9. This may be sombre but the imagery is excellent, Bev. Today is not a happy day here, we had a death in the family yesterday and will be leaving in the next day or two to be with the rest of the family.

  10. I think reflective is a kinder word. I really like it Bev. it holds that Victorian elegance of the houses, the railings and the woman. Great piece of work. xx

  11. It seems to me your Muse is just fine, Bev, only reacting to the crappy weather. This is a beautiful depiction of the somber side of the Victorian era.

  15. Dark? Yes, but very much of the period. I've always loved those wrought iron railings.

  16. I think she's pouting because coats for ladies have not yet been 'taken off' and she's having to do with the flimsy shawl. Hope she doesn't catch that chill! Hope your Muse is back in the picture soon my friend.

  17. I think that my Muse is on vacation with yours, Bev! We, too, have one day of sun followed by a few days of dreary gray skies or precipitation. It's been a long winter and a cold, slow spring. Hang in! She'll be back soon!!!! Hugs, Terri xoxox

  18. Yes, she's a little gloomy, but it suits to the victorian climate.

  19. But it's so elegant, Bev. And what a clever approach.

  20. Bev, I think your Muse is hovering somewhere close by because this is a beautiful piece. I love the idea of the elegant, Victorian lady frozen in bronze (or perhaps gold). A moment in time captured so creatively. Fantastic artwork.

  21. Love how you do somber! I know what you mean about the weather. Last Sunday I was working in the yard with capri's and a short sleeved T-shirt, and woke up to frost! Had a scary storm come through and count ourselves lucky, to have not lost trees and power for days like some around here have. So tired of the wind and gloom. Today is glorious! Sending you some warm sunny vibes my friend!!!

  22. Looks like London on a gloomy day. I like the iron fence detail you used.
