From Sarah: Where is Elfio? Let’s look in the Romance and Art Sections (70 Points)

The AnalogueVille Librarians are very fond of Elfio, and he is usually quite diligent in his book shelving tasks….. However, there are reports of BOTH mis-shelved & dishevelled books in the Romance & Art Sections, and suspiciously, Elfio keeps disappearing.

Continuing from our last stop in Local History, I thought we’d pop into the Romance Section where shockingly!! We see… the fair maiden, Lady Annabelle swooning, and Elfio …. We close the door and tip toe away…

The Fainting Lady, or my Lady Annabelle is another great figure that I found on MyMiniFactory. To date, she is probably my most favourite figure that I’ve painted. The moment I saw the figure and since I already had painted Elfio, I knew I wanted to do a torrid Classic Romance Novel style post.

Lady Annabelle, resplendent in a lovely spring green gown, white flounces with pink trim, looks very much like Romantic Heroine, though there is a touch of whimsy too!

For fun, I thought I would quickly doodle a book cover to serve as a back drop.

As we continue through the library ….. we enter the Art Section.

Here we find the Great Master Painter, another terrific figure found on MyMiniFactory.

Unfortunately the first print failed and shortly after I began painting the second print, I dropped her and the paint brush in her extended hand broke. I literally cried, but decided to carry on.

I really like her pale blue dress, the colour turned out really well and since I wanted the painter to be exotic/bohemian I thought an elaborate purple hairdo and yellow head wrap would be fabulous details.

So, for this narrative, to explain the broken paint brush, the Great Master Painter has “snapped her crayons” because the wandering rogue Elfio is very late for his portrait appointment.

Again for fun, I did a few quick doodles of Artwork to have around the artist studio.

Thanks for dropping by

Have a great week!

Another very creative and fine contribution, milady! Your painting is excellent, and your choice of colours flawless of course. I really like the swooning Lady Annabelle, and you definitely achieved the Bohemian look you aimed for with the painter. I really like the little additions you created to depict these scenes, and the location bonuses thus are well-deserved. And I feel your pain with the broken paintbrush (although I admire the way you explained it and used it to your advantage!). 3D printing is a great thing, but the figures can be a little brittle and somehow you always drop them when they are halfway done or nearly complete... Still, all in all you managed quite well and these 65 points are certainly justified! I'll add a couple of bonus points for the creative doodling however. Well done Sarah!
