Artist's Comments

acrylic, 2006 (an older piece)

This piece is based on a Siberian Folk Tale called "The Girl Who Watched in the Night", in which this particular girl lassoes a fox who has been kidnapping her cousins, and demands that he lead her to her kin.

Originally, I illustrated this same scene from a normal angle, level with the girl. My illustration teacher told me that it didn't convey the movement of running through the woods; it was too static. So I went back and tried again from a different angle, and this is what I produced. So, I'm thankful that my teacher was honest and coaxed me to try again, because I like this version much better than the first.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! Your words mean a lot to me! And thank you to ~C-Ungol and ^De-Profundis for the DD, I'm honored!

Following the Fox by ~AdamHunterPeck holds an awesome sense of perspective. I want to read the story that this seems to fit with. (Suggested by ~C-Ungol and Featured by `De-Profundis)

nice, gives a sense of isolation...

In truth there is no such thing as "I".
It is unnecissary; "I" is implied with every
word that leaves our mouth; it need not be said.

What a fantastic perspective!
Makes me feel like I'm a bird perched up in one of the birch trees.

This is so beautiful.
The emotion and perspective are so dramatic.
