In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago. - full lyrics here [link] , my favorite version is Sarah McLachlan's
There's a beautiful color tone throughout the middle of the trees that I like...the subdued coloring gives the portrait truth lending to the fantasy theme... Good job!!(A violin in the stone cold forest? Brrr, brrr!) Xd/James
I played with the colors a lot in this piece, ended up using two textures against the muted background to get these colors. I didn't want it to have too much color, as I wanted it to stay somewhat "bleak". I'm glad you like it.
I know, you see so many photo-manipulations with girls in skimpy dresses carrying a violin in winter scenes! Brr indeed.
Good job!!(A violin in the stone cold forest? Brrr, brrr!)
