Johanna (or lovingly referred to as Ciwi) is one of my greatest art buddies. We are constantly blabbering with one another about art, painting, and we are eternally each others personal cheerleaders :P So its so surprise that I HAD to show you this gorgeous new painting she made this past week. It all started from Sketchfest actually! Where she drew a nymph in a lake...which turned into something much darker and deeper for her. "Lake of Silent Souls" is sure to be only one of beautiful paintings this young lady will come up with! Shes just about the nicest person youll ever meet so be her cheerleader too and you wont regret it :D! You can find her on deviantart here: http://ciwiel.deviantart.com/
