In the woodlands low
born of ice and snow
there's a maiden weeping tonight
Tears fall softly 'neath the winter moon
Oh, who do you cry for?
~
Love made my heart soar
you're the one I've waited for
- Stay with me forever! -
My hands could not warm him
He died softly 'neath the winter moon

this drawing is inspired by Erutan's song 'Winter Moon'.
www.erutanmusic.com/
It's such a beautiful song... the melody, the instruments, the voice, the lyrics.

I think the song is very touching.
Traditionally this snow maiden is seen like some sort of monster, killing everyone who comes her way. But in this song - made of ice and snow, how could you ever love? She wants to, she tries to, but she just can't.
...But she never meant to be this cold. She's not a monster.


(photocamera killed the shades, killed the contrast and killed the colours. oh well... I used a lot of purple shades, and my camera doesn't understand the idea of 'purple' that well. I could have known the colours would be killed. but hey - I'm sure my camera didn't meant to be this crappy. it's not a monster )
