Artist's Comments

Every night when dusk fell, she would sit under the weeping willow and listen to the tales of those who had come before her... they were all there, every whispered word.

I think this is a new personal favorite of mine. Believe it or not she was originally going to be a geisha girl, but my imagination took hold and she demanded to become something else. Weeping willows have always been my favorite tree, there is something magical about climbing under their branches, like being transported to another realm. :)

*She tells me I should add more of the white willow branches to the top left part of the gold framing her... so this might be altered sometime soon. ;)

**Full view please.

And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine...
(by Beirut)

It is one of my favorites from you too :D

A beautiful piece! :D

And (if you'll excuse me intruding :blushes: ) I adore that song, ~gonecanuck :)

Oh yes, she looks really sad and concentrated on the tale...:iconsadnod:

Yes, I think you're right. She is a mysterious lady and I've yet to understand all her secrets. ;)
