Queen of Diamonds and Rustby *frodo-lives

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Illustrations / Conceptual

A tribute to Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. Inspired by their songs "Diamonds and Rust", and "Visions of Johanna", and yeah, it's the Queen of Diamonds and the Jack of Hearts! No Lily and Rosemary, though.

Photoshop, tablet

i see the diamond but not the heart.

The two heads make the tips of it. Well, it is a bit contrived .. works better in the bottom half 'coz I've shrunk Bobby a bit and so they're more equal in size. (that was entirely unintentional btw, the image is based on a still from a 1965 documentary about Dylan's UK tour where Joan tagged along, essentially all I did was make her larger & closer up than she is "realistically". Well, and I played around with that guitar.).

.. it just seemed to sum up their whole relationship (or what I reckon their relationship has been) so remarkably well.

love it! the composition is lovely especially hoe the diamonds and the hands make an x in the middle.

There is a diamond shape, and a heart shape in it as well. Well - subtly. Do you see them?

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
