Soon it's my older sister's 26th birthday. She has often asked me to copy for her this incredible painting by C.D. Friedrich, but I've always felt unable to do such a thing. This year I've decided to try again and it seems like I've somehow managed to paint something similar to the original one. I've had to use temperas, since I'm still unable to do oil paintings. I like the outfit, I must say.
By the way, when I've shown it to my mother, she just said: "Oh, this makes me wish to die. It's lugubrious". Why people keep on ignoring the meaning of a certain thing called ROMANTICISM? Or SUBLIME? I've no words.
