[leelastarsky]

An oil painting commissioned by santa_elidan from belovedranger's fic series.



Coffee for Three.
Harry drops in to the Nook for coffee early in the morning, which is why Ron and Hermione are in their pyjamas. ;~D



Close Ups-




This took me SO long to get into one image. :~P The painting is is roughly 20"x16" and I had to scan it in four pieces. Getting it to match up was ... fun. ;~\
But, on the good side, the colours came out pretty accurate! :~D

That's bloody fantastic! Oh my God, I hope that scene is EXACTY how Book 7 ends up. The trio, enjoying true happiness and peace. Simply wonderful. And sweet holy hell that painting is extraordinary, and the colours sublime. Thanks for sharing it with us. Wow.

Cheers!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. And I hope things end up like this for the Trio too. ;~)

[missmarypotter.livejournal.com]

You blow my mind! :)

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Heh. Good to hear you liked it. :~)

[nassima.livejournal.com]

There are so many things that I love in your art, and especially in this one. That you style stays the same, whatever the medium you're using, and that its stays equally wonderful. That you Ron looks more and more like a cross between Han Solo and Rupert Grint! The joy in most of your pieces.

And in this one, Crookshanks! Yay!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. Did you notice Pig? ;~)

[hazel-eyes-86.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :~)

Painting SUX. I hate painting, but you make it look easy!This is just totally fantstic!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! When I first read your post I thought it said 'The painting SUX.' Hahahahaha! Thanks, and yes, painting like this tends to be a long arduous process. Good to know that you did actually enjoy it though! ;~)

[manraviel.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Harry's face and expression. And Ron looks so Rupert Grint like. Excellent work as always :).

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Good to know that Ron looks like Rupert because that's what I was hoping for. :~)

[lissannej.livejournal.com]

I really love the casualness of it all, how comfortable they all look. Adorable :-)

[alil2sarcastic.livejournal.com]

Everytime I see a piece of art work from you I am speechless. I don't have a great comment or anything.

Just 0_0!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for taking the time to comment anyway. Always nice to know that my work is appreciated. ;~)

[austenrowling.livejournal.com]

Thats really nice. I love little pig on the windowsill...Is he looking out the window?

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

He's looking at his own reflection in the glass. ;~)

[hildigunnur.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful. Love the look on Harry's face (it always makes me happy when he smiles) and PIG! Not to mention the hotness of Ron. :D

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear you enjoyed it! :~)

[santa-elidan.livejournal.com]

MINE !! MINE !! ALL MINE !!!

Leela, what can I say? I love the oil painting and I will keep it as my precious gem. It means so much for me. It's so unbelievable beautiful. Thank you so much!

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

All YOURS! :~D

Thrilled to hear your so happy with it!

[belovedranger.livejournal.com]

So fun to see the finished painting! First of all - I love the environment you created - very true to the look and feel of the story moment. The window panes and garden - and cushioned bench are all wonderfully done. I love Harry's pose - his smile and body posture. Ron and Hermione look cozy - and the best little detail, I think, is that way Ron is stroking Crookshanks.

It is a pleasure to get to look upon your work and enjoy its richness and details. I know santa elidan will enjoy gazing at it in her home. : )

[leelastarsky.livejournal.com]

It must be a fascinating pleasure for you because you invented this world, so to speak! :~D

[sinick.livejournal.com]

That's adorable! They look so relaxed and happy, all recognisably older versions of the actors. I couldn't resist making an icon out of Pig (credited of course), please feel free to use it if you like.

I don't know what your policy on iconmaking is. If you don't want your art made into an icon, I'm terribly sorry: please just let me know and I'll take it offline immediately.

[santa-elidan.livejournal.com]

Hi sinick :)
Pig is cute, isn't he? But actually he is my birdie because I paid for him more than $ 200,-
Coffee for Three was commissioned by me. If you only use Pig and not Ron, Hermione or Harry I won't mind. But please credit.

[pili204.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! It's beautiful. I love their faces, their smiles and their eyes. Ron looks gorgeous. I love Hermione's hair. The details are amazing. You did such an excellent job!

[majilique.livejournal.com]

Absolutely stunning!!! Love the little details of Crookshank and the little owl with its reflection in the glass.

'Coffee for three'

[alorkin.livejournal.com]

I hope you realize I'm running out of adjectives. If I continue to tell you how much I love your work I'm afraid I'll sound like I'm gushing (GUSH! GUSH! GUSH!)
I assume you work in either oils or (like me) acrylics. I've found watercolors really don't work that well on canvas, so it has to be either of the other two (or maybe a vairant of either.)
As I've pointed out before, your attention to detail is what makes your paintings so wonderful! (Gush!) The expressions of all three, are open and loving...just as good friends should be. Oh, By the way, I really love the coffee nook. I just finished building one very much like it in my house.
I wonder, I rarely see anything with Harry and a girl. I presonally ship Harry/Hermione, but appreciate well done artwork, regardless the ship. May I look at your gallery? I've only seen a few of your works and I'm certain I would love to see the rest. I hope to see more when you are ready. Alorkin

I think the thing I love best about your artwork is that I could sit here for an hour soaking up all the beautiful detail, and still probably miss something! The lovely view through the window, the texture their hair (each perfect for the character), Crookshank's soft, fluffy fur, the subtle pattern on the pillows and on Ron's pajama bottoms. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! :o)

[missus-paul.livejournal.com]

o_O

Man, Ron's got some PECS on 'im! God, I love your artwork so much.

[bug-in-a-rug.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, as always. :D You make painting look so easy. Oy.

[ladybluestar.livejournal.com]

I don't ship R/Hr, but had to say that that is a lovely piece of artwork. All three are very well done.

!

[hedwigshaven.livejournal.com]

Wow that is amazing, I love how ron is petting the cat also, very cute.

[veryshortlist.livejournal.com]

Guh, nipples and Harry's nubby sweater and pink night-shirts, yay.

[shoeless-girl.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely lovely! The colours are amazing and everyone looks so happy :) Crookshanks and Pig made me squee as did Harry's expression.
*adds to memories*
