[Art] Dear Little Brother

[moonvoice]

I toyed with the idea of calling it 'deer little brother,' but I thought that would be lame. So I didn't...

Dear Little Brother

Based on the fairytale, 'Little Brother & Little Sister,' told by the Grimm brothers.

The sister holds her brother, wounded in the hunt. She looks out onto the world, defiant but also resigned to a cruel fate; dependent on the bounty of the the wild to survive, and the mercy of others.









Detail of the roe deer. There are like four bazillion colours in that head.

Oh my gosh, this work is so amazing. The richness of the colors add so much to this painting. And color adds a lot to how sad she is. i think this is my favorite of everything you've done so far.

How do you feel about it now that it's done?

I feel closer, energetically, to the Gretel piece that I did. But I'm satisfied with the execution of this piece, and artistically pushed myself in some new directions; so I'm happy with it for that. :)
