Having recently become interested in making desktop wallpapers as well as icons, here is my first public attempt: John William Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott. Fans of Anne of Green Gables will recognize the poetry. ;-)

Beautiful work. These are among my favourite poems and artists. Taking the 1024x768 and the icon. Will credit.

Have you heard Lorenna McKennitt's rendition of this poem? It's beautiful.
