Taken from Celtic mythology my attempt to portray the young Aoife an Irish warrior princess in the land of shadows.

Do I ever wish I had chosen to give her straight red hair!!

Painted in Photoshop cs, the background in Painter.

I was trying to do a portrait without relying on shadows too much for the form; I don’t think I quite pulled it off. I’m fed up of it now so here it is warts and all :heart:

She looks beautiful... but I thought Aoife was the jealous third wife of Lir who cursed his children?
I guess there are multiple Aoifes.
