Vision of the Lady of the Lake

My inspiration for this wasn't King Arthur, but a 1970 album track by Strawbs that contains these words:

"Suddenly out of the water before him

The wraith-like form of a maiden appeared

Clad in shimmering radiant robes

The maiden materialised as she neared

The hair which finely crowned her head

Was a halo of golden reflecting the sun

All of the beautiful women of time

Were formed all at once into one.

She handed the boatman the sword she was holding

Which flashed irridescent before his eyes

Excalibur surely was hardly a match

For a sword that simple description defies."

Jezebelle was the obvious choice of model for this image and she, Sinopa Rin and I had enormous fun making it. I've tried to be as faithful as I can with the processing to the description in the lyrics.

(There's a BTS pic in my "Behind the Scenes" album, showing why Jezebelle didn't even really get wet.)
