[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.

Wonderful! I hope you do a lot more of these fairytale pieces, I have a special fondness for those. :)

I do too, I think there's something so sacred and so...pagan about most fairytales (especially in their older incarnation). I'm loving this series. :D
