Description Winter sea

Snow flakes of enchantered dream silently falls
And slowly freezes the sea of winter into a scene from silvery fairytales

That girl deep in sleep on the beach...
Looks as though the Snow White surrounded by forever blooming sea chrisamthemum

Waves clash one after another like the petals of water lily
Let's halt this moment into everlasting hope
Hoping for the warmth of spring, melting the ice and snow of the winter sea

Just before the complete evanescence of the rainbow from fairytales
Snow White puts on her holy wedding veil
______________________

A poor translation of a really nice Chinese poem I read in a magazine 10 years ago.

The meaning may be lost in translation, but in a nutshell, the poem describes the dreams and hope of all girls finding their true love like in a fairytale. And as time goes by, reality sets in and it seems as though it's impossible to find The One. The author then expresses her wish at that girls will find their true love before loosing faith in fairytales.


I think it's a beautiful poem So i dedicated this painting to it. I tried to capture the moment when "Snow White" wakes up from her sleep by the first touch of the spring.

Not personally happy with the painting, but it'll do for now. I'll come back to it and do another version of it, as the painting is not nearly as beautiful as the poem.


Need sleep now! 4am in Australia. Hope you guys like it!
