Description
"Eyes still closed, she lifted her fiddle back up under her chin. Pulling her bow across the strings, she called up an autumn music. She put into it deer foraging in the cedars. Her scarecrow standing alone, guarding the empty vegetable and herb beds. Geese flying in formation overhead. Frosts and naked tree limbs. Milkweed pods bursting open and a thousand seeds parachuting across the fields. Brambles that stuck to the legs of your overalls."-Charles de Lint, Ten for the Devil

I like how this seems simple, due to the use of black ink and subtle shading, yet one can make otu a myriad of detail within the picture

Oh, I love that story! Charles DeLint is one of my favorites and I've never done any fanart for his stories because I wasn't sure I could do it justice. Looks to me like you have, though!
