Description In the Bleak Midwinter
- full view for details -

Thanks in advance for any comments & faves! <3

Inspired by the wonderful stock from =lindowyn-stock .

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!)

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.

If she were to be playing on a drum set..., I might wonder a little about you!!!
Good job, Merry Christmas!!Xd/James

Aw, how cute! I love that song. The picture definitely reminds me of it, because I'm hearing it in my head right now.

I'm glad you like it. I wanted to keep it in "bleak" hues and tones, but I think adding the deer made it a little less bleak. It's a lovely song.

I really like the deer pocking his head around the trees. Well done!

Thank you I put the deer in, then I took her out, then put it in again... about 10 times lol. I still can't decide if I really like it there or not. Takes away some of the "bleakness" I think.
