ReplyDeletewow!! i LOVE this pic! it's exactly the style of illustration i love. If you happen to find one, I've always wanted something like this for the story of "At the Back of the North Wind" like a picture of her with her flowing black hair and stuff. Looking forward to more in this series :D

I had an immediate inspiration for a project with this graphic! Thank you Karen.....I only hope I can hang onto the idea before it flees my mind. I am going to my sketchbook right now before I forget.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited you all were so inspired by this one! I actually had a copy of this book that belonged to my Grandparents, and I have been looking for it for a couple of years now, I finally broke down and bought another copy. I'll be sure and post more!
ReplyDeleteHannah,
There is a picture of a Goddess up in the sky, in this book. Here hair is flowing, but it's golden, not black.

Beautiful image! Thank you. Just a note: you left off his second name, it's Omar Khayyam. One of my favorite books in high school! I remember doing an illustration myself using the words of some of the quatrains to draw with. No idea where it is now. Oh, well. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteImage is really good!
