Description "...A woman's life is filled with sadness and waiting"

This is Kitsune from the novel The Fox Woman by Kij Johnson, a story about a fox who fell in love with a man so became human to win his love. It's set in feudal Japan.

This is also the entry for one of the themes of the 100 Pictures Challenge I'm doing.

That's a very gorgeous picture. I really love how you did the make-up. The novel sounds interesting, too. I will have to read it sometime.

Jesus. There is no words to convey my love of this piece and the skill required for it.

So instead, next time you see some of my coloured pencil work, youll see the impact of me attempting to learn from you.
