IF - Entangled (Forest Nymph)





"Rest now, dear one, though your once sturdy figure now wilts away lifeless. I shall keep you safe and lead you home where the green grass awaits," the nymph whispered as she gently entangled the dead tree with her soft silky crown.

    Hi Amalia! I love your work! My husband and I have a silly imaginary story about spotting the nymphs in a little town in Pennsylvania that we pass through a lot. Maybe she is one of them!

    P.S. Sorry about cluttering up your blog with deleted comments-- I spelled your name with four A's!

    YOu have a lovely style. I've never seen any of these before. I love the way her hair winds around her and around the tree.

    beautiful.
    i know her.
    She was one of my nymph friends "The Dryades", lived in oak trees and would die when the tree they lived in died.

    Hi Amalia,
    I think your forest nymph drawing is beautiful. She looks a minx, with her tangled hair flowing around the tree... You have a special style of illustrating. I really like your textures and colours. Such great work. Thank you for your visit and kind comments.:)
    Have a lovely week!
