Artist's Comments

This digital painting will be the first in a series of 12, hopefully done in time to make a calendar for next year :D

The inspiration for this piece is a little bit Mucha, a little bit Susan Sedon Boulet, and maybe too much bird-watching recently :lol:
Many thanks to those of you who offered such great suggestions early on with my WIP :hug:

Stock references used in this painting:

There is a dark romanticism to this
that is still bright and very touching

Get the sense... of shapeshifters
that have existed longer then the
lifetimes of mere mortals... and
have only each other to confide in.

Well hell, I love how this turned out..
WIth all the elements it all turned out incredible..
:wow:

Yes! you have it exactly! I was thinking of that...of the spirits of Animals in legends of the Native Americans.
Thank you so much, Dear! :hug:
I have read a lot of Charles de Lint and Neil Gaiman...so it influences my work :-)
