"The Crystal Ball", by John William Waterhouse--My favorite painter

I hate talking about me myself, so this is mostly just me talking about my interests... Which I figure is important to my edits on Wikipedia in the sense that my background and where my interests lie affect my point of view.

• 
  The Siren
  
  I love this painting . . . which may make me a little evil, but it's one of my favorites
• 
  Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus
  
  Another Dark one . . . but it does have beautiful colors
• 
  The Mermaid
  
  One of the best (and most realistic) mermaid paintings/pictures I've ever come across

• 
  Sleep and His Half-Brother Death

  The Bohemian
  
  Although I didn't notice it at first, my favorite part of the painting is the instrument on her lap.

  Evening Mood
  
  Either this or "Eos" is my favorite of this series...
  (I wish I knew the goddess's name though!)

  Lilith
  
  I absolutely love the painting (maybe because I was born year of the Snake?), and can't help but feel sorry for her for getting such a negative view in history...I don't know, I just sympathize with her.
• 
  Valkyrie
  
  Best depiction of a Valkyrie, period.
•

  I am very curious as to what exactly her dress is made out of...looks almost like plastic...
