Illustration, Easter and hot water

Just finished the above illustration which was commisioned by a very nice lady as a present for her sister. She had visited me recently and had noticed I was working on a "Seranade" ilustration for another project, she liked the idea and asked if I could do something similar...the other illo was done in gouache but she prefered that I use watercolour for her one...so voila...
I hope she likes it, otherwise its back to the drawing board.

In other news, its the week before easter next week, Η Μεγάλη Εβδομάδα (the Great Week-loose translation)...Easter is the most important of our religious holidays, and I am looking forward to it...I don't really go to church that much, but I do love the services of this week...Especially Good Friday, which is a real event...I will try and take my camera with me and take discretely ofcourse some photos...Hope the priest doesn't notice me and bash me over the head with a cross or something (I saw something similar happen when I was young...the priest evidently was having a bad day).I will be fasting too, so that means no meat, eggs, milk etc...I use to fast for the whole 50 days when I was a teenager, but not anymore...I like fasting the week before easter, as it adds to the spiritual feeling of the week...
Tonight though, I am going to a greek Taverna for dinner...haven't done that in a while, and tomorrow night I will be going dancing...Two nights in a row I will be going out...I am still in shock!!
This morning I went to a friends house to have a decent-non frozen bath...God that felt good....Hot water is sooooo much better than cold when having a bath...If you have hot water at your house, feel very very blessed! Lol!

Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating this weekend!
love
